Shane Battier on Miami LeBron and why LeBron is the GOAT:
“For as good as you think he was, he was that much better. I’m biased, but when people say LeBron or MJ, I say LeBron did something twice, that I don’t think Jordan could ever do once. He won two NBA titles with Shane Battier as his starting PF. I love Mike, one of the greatest of all time but LeBron did it twice with me as his bum ass PF….. The force, intelligence, he didn’t have a weakness when he was in his prime. There was no answer for him. He was like the Queen on the chess board. Could do everything.”

JJ McCarthy is just Cade McNown, an undersized punk who's an entitled privileged kid who is actually just kind of a jerk whose arrogance got mistaken for a competitive, killer edge by morons in college but who wilts immediately when things aren't handed to him
I wholeheartedly believe the NBA community took LeBron James going to 8 straight Finals for granted. It takes a monumental effort to get there. The fact that it became routine is mind boggling. To this day he’s the most underrated competitor that’s ever played.
On this date in 2007, LeBron James put on one of the greatest playoff performances ever.
He scored the Cavaliers' final 25 points in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, carrying Cleveland to a 109-107 double-overtime win over Detroit.
His 25 straight points remain the most consecutive points scored by a player in a playoff game in the play-by-play era (since 1997) 🔥
Underdog is REFUSING to end the promotional “foul baiting” campaign they made about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander despite being sent a cease and desist about it, per @FOS. 😳
“Underdog is refusing to bend after an attorney for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sent a cease and desist about a promotional Underdog board game making fun of the MVP’s ‘foul baiting.’ SGA’s attorney wants all promotion of the game to stop. Underdog tells FOS it will not.”
Underdog is refusing to stop.
(2018) Celtics coach Brad Stevens reacts to LeBron's Game 7 masterclass in Boston:
"I thought it was an outstanding defensive game and again he still got 35/15/9... it’s a joke… it’s ridiculous.”
