Charles Oakley: Michael does not want to be your friend, Isiah. I'm telling you for the 5th time. Now you trying to say everyone better than Mike. It's OK, you not better than Mike. He came in your city and took your city

@AndyHickeyMMA Pro sports is entertainment. The reason Khabib is considered in the goat convo is no fighter in UFC history had a 3 fight streak that had the combination of:
1)Viewers watching
2)Level of performance

Also, we never saw Khabib’s decline. Example: It’s why we have GSP>Silva.

@mmaonpoint Most important is Ilia still improves as a fighter. If he doesn’t, then it’s over. Nothing else matters. But if he does, he will follow the story as old as time. The rise, the reign, the fall, the rebrand, the comeback. And the fans will rally behind.

🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on the Messi vs Ronaldo GOAT debate:

“Every week, every month, every year, somebody asks me the same question.”

🗣️ “‘Zlatan, who is the GOAT? Messi or Ronaldo?’”

🗣️ “Honestly? I get tired of hearing it.”

🗣️ “Not because they aren't great players. They are.”

🗣️ “But because people talk about football as if it is a video game.”

🗣️ “One player scores a goal and suddenly he's the GOAT.”

🗣️ “The other wins a trophy and suddenly the debate is over.”

🗣️ “Football is bigger than that.”

🗣️ “Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest athletes football has ever seen.”

🗣️ “The goals. The mentality. The discipline. The longevity.”

🗣️ “Nobody can take that away from him.”

🗣️ “Over 900 career goals.”

🗣️ “League titles in different countries.”

🗣️ “Champions Leagues.”

🗣️ “Records everywhere.”

🗣️ “Cristiano created a legacy that may never be repeated.”

🗣️ “But then there is Lionel Messi.”

🗣️ “And this is where people get angry with me.”

🗣️ “Because for me, Messi is not normal.”

🗣️ “Cristiano mastered football.”

🗣️ “Messi became football.”

🗣️ “When I watch Messi, I don't see a player following the game.”

🗣️ “I see a player creating the game.”

🗣️ “The goals.”

🗣️ “The assists.”

🗣️ “The dribbling.”

🗣️ “The vision.”

🗣️ “The intelligence.”

🗣️ “The World Cup.”

🗣️ “Everything.”

🗣️ “People ask me how I compare them.”

🗣️ “Sometimes I don't understand the comparison.”

🗣️ “It's like comparing a lion to a shark.”

🗣️ “Both are killers.”

🗣️ “But they hunt differently.”

🗣️ “Cristiano is the greatest goalscorer I have ever seen.”

🗣️ “Messi is the greatest footballer I have ever seen.”

🗣️ “There is a difference.”

🗣️ “And before Ronaldo fans get angry, listen carefully.”

🗣️ “Being second to Messi is not an insult.”

🗣️ “Most players would dream of being second.”

🗣️ “Cristiano is a legend.”

🗣️ “A football icon.”

🗣️ “A player who changed history.”

🗣️ “But if you lock me in a room and force me to choose one player...”

🗣️ “One player for one match.”

🗣️ “One player for my life.”

🗣️ “One player to represent football itself.”

🗣️ “I choose Messi.”

🗣️ “Every time.”

🗣️ “Because goals can be broken.”

🗣️ “Records can be broken.”

🗣️ “Trophies can be matched.”

🗣️ “But what Messi does with a football?”

🗣️ “That cannot be taught.”

🗣️ “That cannot be trained.”

🗣️ “That is a gift from God.”

🐐🇦🇷⚽

🗣️ “Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players in history.”

🗣️ “Lionel Messi is history.”

@abdulmuqheet7 @wstgoat7 No belt needed. Considering both dynamics of 1)How big will the fight & 2)Lowest level of difficulty, they are both each other’s number 1 option for a legacy fight at 170 pounds.

Michael Jordan walked into the NBA 75th Anniversary room.

The entire room went silent.

These are the 75 greatest players to ever live and they still stopped what they were doing.

Still sizing MJ up. Still nervous.

Then Jordan and Magic got caught on camera going at it.

Not joking. Dead serious.

The obsession never turns off. Not even at a celebration.

That’s why he’s different.

Is he the Greatest Ever? MJ?!

[Brian Canacci @Canatch]

@Ballislife The message of this speech is that it is so universally known that Jordan would never not feel comfortable in a late game situation that Kerr can tell a story like this at the celebration and everyone knows it’s just a joke and laugh without it being awkward in any way.

Magic Johnson averaged 18.6 PTS, 12.4 AST, 8 REB in the 1991 NBA Finals.

He announced his retirement 5 months later after testing positive for HIV.

39 years ago today, Magic Johnson hit this iconic hook shot game-winner to beat the Celtics 107-106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals 🪄

Best PG of all time.

June 6, 1997: The Utah Jazz provide one of the wildest pregame introductions ever, before Game 3 of the NBA Finals—complete with a bear mascot riding a motorcycle, a deafening indoor fireworks display, and (of course) Michael Buffer.

The Jazz defeated the Chicago Bulls, 104-93.

Tom Aspinall praises GSP’s double retirement, saying winning the title and walking away is the perfect way to do it 😅💪

“GSP won the title and retired again. He retired twice, and if you’re going to retire, that’s the way to do it. Win the title, and walk away in front of everyone.”

Rewatching The Last Dance

Pippen really sat out beginning of 98 season thinking the Bulls would fall apart and then came back cause they were 24-11 lmao.
