lol cap he was two doors down from me! Dog was locked down just like the rest of us. We had a madden league. We played all the games in his room. We was damn near gaming all night!
Puka Nacua on LeBron James:
“Score 40 when you’re a teen, scored 40 when you were 40. The only person to take 3 different franchises to the big dance and get it done for them. Never seen Michael Jordan do that. I never want you to leave. Never retire. They could never do no wrong. You could walk out on the basketball court with no knees, and only your left hand and give the NBA 25/5/5, just like you’ve done for 27 years straight. You’re the best, I love you so much. I still need a jersey, I’ll still be at the games. LeGOAT.”

This would be a nuclear-level scandal like 10 years ago. But Trump has lowered the bar so much that I don’t think this even gets a news cycle worth of coverage.
When I actually went back and watched extensive film of MJ. The gap in talent is so shocking it’s hard to take anyone seriously anymore with their MJ standom.
Hate to break it to you, but watching full games on YT today gives someone a more accurate sense of what the 90s were than the MEMORY of watching the same games 30+ years ago
you can disagree with Zohran's policies all you want, but you have to admit it's impressive he was able to fly a plane into the world trade center as a 10 year old and survive. that's why he won
It doesn't matter how many rings Lebron wins. It really doesn't. What he did in his era, along with the situations he was in, makes him the GOAT. Thrived against the toughest competition, thrived in a slow pace era, thrived in the fast pace era. He did more with less. There is only one finals you can argue he should've won, and multiple you can argue he easily should've lost (2013, 2016).
People who believe Jordan is the GOAT say Jordan's 6 titles mean more than Bill Russell's 11, John Havlicek's 8, because Jordan faced more competition. Is that not fair to say for Lebron as well? It's simply not possible to win two threepeats now. With how competitive it is, it's been difficult for teams to even repeat, the arguably most talented team ever had to be assembled for it to happen once in the last decade.
Think about it not as in how many titles he won, but how many titles he gave his teams chances to win. So many of his teams had no business chasing a title. He wasn't gifted an incredible defensive team with elite costars and coaching. Even when he formed a "superteam", his teammates production wasn't on the level of the non superteam stars costars (for example, Pippen, Gasol/Odom).
Lebron is simply the most well-rounded player ever, too. Elite playmaking, rebounding, shooting, passing, scoring, defense. His game is also incredibly adaptable and consistent. Compare him to players such as Kobe and Jordan, who relied on tough shotmaking to impact games. Lebron's ability to get to the basket and make plays has been ridiculed (because its not "pretty 💅", but it made him so much more reliable. Look at his Olympic stats compared to theirs. It's laughable.
Everything he has been doing since 2020 in these olden years has just been to add to his legacy. He's been more than impressive in these years. He's basically been in the Jordan Wizards phase of his career. Even if his next game is his last his legacy is cemented.
