No, THANK YOU! Truly a honor to wear the 💜💛 while trying to continuing the greatness & legacies that came before me! Hope I made a few proud during my stint. 🙏🏾🫡👑
Stephen A. Smith admits he can’t wrap his head around “how the hell” the Clintons and Obamas left office worth upwards of $100,000,000 after “serving” the American people.
“Clinton was a lawyer in Arkansas, grew up poor, relatively broke. How the hell he and the Clinton Foundation are worth hundreds of millions of dollars beats me.”
“Barack Obama was a community organizer who became the President of the United States. And last time I checked, that salary ain’t over $450,000.”
“How the hell you depart from office, [together] you worth over $200 million?”
Clintons’ net worth before office: ~$1,300,000
Clintons’ net worth today: ~$120,000,000
Obamas’ net worth before office: ~$1,300,000
Obamas’ net worth today: ~$70,000,000
The fellas were comparing Curry’s film of scoring 50 in the Garden vs MJ’s film from the 80’s and Bhen/Mook spent MJ’s whole highlight flaming em 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

LeBron on Ring Culture: "I don't know why it's discussed so much in our sport and why it's the end-all, be-all of everything. You tell me Iverson, Barkley, Nash weren't f**** unbelievable? They can't be talked about with these guys because they won rings?
It's like saying Peyton Manning can't be in the same room as Brady or Mahomes because he only has 1 ring. Or telling me Dan Marino isn't the greatest slinger of all time.
Barry Bonds never won a World Series, and you can't sit here and tell me that he's not the greatest baseball player to ever touch a bat.
Jerry West went to the NBA Finals 9 straight times and was only able to win 1. And he's the logo of the league. He can't sit here and tell me because he won one that he can't be in the same room with the guy who won 2 or 3 or 4. Why not? He's our logo!"

Isiah Thomas on former NBA players not including LeBron James on their top-5 lists:
"It's jealousy, envy... if he ain't in your top 5, you're full of sh*t."

LeBron says he’s not taking anyone in NBA history over himself
“I’m not taking nobody over me. There’s no question. But I think Mike will say the same thing. Rest his soul, Kobe will say the same thing. Magic will say the same thing. Bird will say the same thing. Shaq could say the same thing. The late great Wilt. Kareem. I don’t think none of us are going to take somebody else. If there’s a general manager and he’s eyeballing all of us on a baseline, with the No. 1 pick, it’s gonna be hard not to take me, champ.”

How we have responded to longevity from athletes:
Vince Carter: WOW AMAZING
Tom Brady: WOW AMAZING
Alex Ovechkin: WOW AMAZING
Nolan Ryan: WOW AMAZING
Robert Parish: WOW AMAZING
LeBron James: LONGEVITY DOESN’T MATTER!!!
Just a reminder - LeBron surpassed Jordan for Playoff points 9 years ago.
While doing so he did it at a younger age (32) and did it on less FGA.
Longevity is just cherries on top. He’s been lapping everyone!
Stephen A Smith says as long as he’s alive on First Take, he will NEVER let Rich Paul downplay Michael Jordan’s greatness to prop up LeBron 👀
“It will never happen as long as I’m breathing, and I’m doing First Take. You can scratch that dream my brotha. It’s never, ever, ever going to happen… You can try that nonsense some place else. It’s not working because it all comes back to First Take baby. And I’m right here”
