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 DOESNโT MATTER!!!
Never forget that at age 40, everyone knew MJ was retiring. Now at age 42, they are hypothesizing what would it mean if LeBron won another championship. LeBron is easily the greatest weโve ever seen and even his biggest haters canโt help but contribute to it
Jokiฤ played like shit, and not a word from the media. SGA played like shit, and not a word from the media. Wemby played like shit in game 1, and Windhorst said he was โlow on energyโ. Luka with better numbers in the finals, and the whole media does monologues about how heโs the Antichrist.
I still can't fucking believe Kevin Durant joined a 73 win team at his peak. Total bullshit. Will always be bullshit. Ruined so many legacies & made everything worse.
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. Heโs been lapping everyone!
