Scottie Pippen made a valid point.🔥
“My problem is more so with LeBron. If you are the greatest player, if people are saying you are the greatest player, or if people are saying Michael Jordan is the greatest player, why do you need to say it? Michael Jordan has never ever said he’s the greatest player to ever play the game. Why? He’s respected all the other players before him. So, for LeBron to say that, he’s sort of pulling himself out of it because you can’t say you’re the greatest player. You have to allow your peers and the world to say that.”

All of us NBA fans 100% agree with Scottie Pippen's opinion.
@neoavatara This is actually totally reasonable. He will have social security of at least 40k per year. He makes 175k. He could spend 200k per year and be at around 4.5%. Not sure what's awful about that.
@femalejosman John is absolutely wonderful- Strawberry Fields, Walrus, Warm Gun, In My Life, etc Killer vocalist too- not as versatile as Paul, but a better straight rock voice and somewhat more emotive in some ways. But ‘more creative’ is just not accurate.
@femalejosman It was the default brain dead take of every casual fan and rock critic trying to be cool for thirty-five years post breakup. Then people went back to the music and it turns out they were both incredible, but Paul’s technical ability, work ethic, and creativity was unparalleled.
@DrDiGiorgio@LorenAdler But patients pay premiums so they still are being taken advantage of by unethical doctors who stay out of network to game the IDR process.
@JimEltringham@daveweigel Whoa. He blocked me. He’s a tremendous reporter who I’ve followed for like 15 years. So much respect - meant as a lighthearted dumb joke as a writer.
@DeclanHyland Nah. Harrison wrote two of the top 10 Beatles songs on Spotify. Macca and Lennon are unassailable to anyone who knows music. If you took just Lennon/McCartney from 66-69, they are still all timers.
@WallyWingert Paul and John were geniuses competing against each other. George was very good towards the end, but also benefited from that incredible competitive rivalry. George never would have achieved greatness without them, but they were enough on their own.
@WallyWingert George Martin later said he felt bad, but also added that with Lennon and McCartney, you obviously focused on them. George didn’t really do anything after other than All Things Must Pass. That is arguably the best post-Beatles solo record, but driven by John/Paul competition.
@EsotericCD@jpodhoretz I learned about that album from the @Political_Beats on FoW and it’s actually an incredible album. One of my favorite finds from years of great episodes.
This has been one of the most difficult days of my adult life. Here is my official public statement on the murder-suicide committed by my friend, legal colleague, and Divine-9 Member former VA Lt. Gov @LGJustinFairfax I am turning off comments because some of you cannot be civil, decent and respectful at this devastating moment. I spoke to Justin last two days ago, Tuesday via text. He was not in a good place. I never saw this coming. I tried with others to encourage him. We failed.
I am heartsick. May God bless the Fairfax children. They must be our first and only priority. Cc: @LVBurke
@LeahLibresco@SonnyBunch@nick_field90 Remember discussing how Rowling had been cancelled at my daughter's public high school as we visited a very crowded Harry Potter World at Universal Studios.
Check me on this, but I think both the Ancient Jews and Romans were aware of this fact. So the thing to explain is why his disciples said he rose, then spent the rest of their lives suffering hideous torments/death testifying to it. Then the growth of this belief to 2B people.
@DevinOlsenn It is awesome. The navigation is absolute garbage. It would add 40 minutes to my commute every day if I let it and it never updates expectations. Potholes is a problem. The speed profiles are poorly calibrated (standard + 15, chill +3) and it’s insane I can’t set a max speed.
