Magic retired at 36, Bird retired at 35,
Jordan at 38 (we call ceremonial years)
Kobe at 37 farewell tour and praised, Tim Duncan retired at 40 and his last couple years he was allowed to just be and play. No expectations. Dirk made all star game at 40 averaging 7 and 3 because he was appreciated and honored. Draymond says LeBron deserves that and people get in an uproar. It happens to all the greats. Why is it a problem with a LeBron?
Anyway
LeBron at 41 expected to compete to win it all. Ridiculed if he doesn’t. KD at 37 expected to compete to win it all. Ridiculed if he doesn’t. Steph at 38 team ridiculed for being in play in. I don’t know when we got here but we live in the era of discredit and hypocrisy; but how quickly we forget how we treated the greats of old. 🤷🏾♂️
We were all taking pictures of Caleb Downs with his new Dallas Cowboys jersey, so Jerry Jones grabbed a phone and joked that he was taking a photo of all of us
The #Steelers traded up with the #Colts and Pittsburgh is taking Alabama WR Germie Bernard at No. 47.
Bernard led Bama in receptions in back-to-back seasons and is a true do-it-all weapon, lining up wide, in the slot, at RB, and even Wildcat QB.
Why are we having “pressure” and “legacy” talks about LeBron James and Kevin Durant in 2026? Mfs be itching to discredit Hall of Fame careers. Just enjoy the damn matchup. 😒
Stephen A Smith GOES OFF of the Pelicans franchise 👀
“My popularity is bigger than anybody on your team outside of Zion… 65 games have been played and you’re still searching for your 20th victory. Yall are horrible! Yall have been trash! That is the reality…. You’re worth about 3.55B right now. That ranks 29th out of 30 teams in the NBA. This is your 24th year in the NBA. You used to be the Hornets, now you’re the Pelicans, that’s 2 nicknames. That’s how many playoff victories you have… You got the time to clap back at me, at least tell America why. It’s the only thing that can make you relevant”
