Kenny Smith says Michael Jordan is the only player who came into the league where his weaknesses when he left the league were his strengths
"this is to me what makes him the greatest player in the world...most guys come in with the strength and they get better at it"
"his ball handler was good but then it became great...his shot was inconsistent and then it became indefensible"
"he's the only player I look at it like that...his post game there was no flaw...I didn't know he'd be that good but I know he was a hard worker"
We mourn the passing of Hall of Famer Bobby Cox, the fourth-winningest manager in MLB history.
Cox led the Atlanta Braves to unprecedented success, winning 14 straight division titles from 1991-2005, along with 5 NL pennants and the 1995 World Series championship.
The four-time Manager of the Year won 2,401 games overall, behind only Connie Mack, Tony La Russa, and John McGraw. Of the 13 managers with at least 2,000 career wins, only one (Joe McCarthy) got there in fewer games than Cox.
Cox managed the Braves for 25 seasons in all, leading them to six 100-win seasons and eight 90-win seasons. He also managed the Blue Jays for four years, including the franchise’s first winning record in 1983 and first division title in 1985.
As General Manager of the Braves from 1986-90, Cox laid the foundation for the teams he would manage to success over the next two decades by trading for one future Hall of Famer in John Smoltz, drafting another in Chipper Jones, and helping develop homegrown legend Tom Glavine.
Owner of a .556 winning percentage in 29 total seasons as manager, Cox was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014.
He was 84 years old.
I'll never forget talking to the Braves Skipper Brian Snitker on the field after they won the World Series in 2021.
I asked him what he thought Bobby Cox was doing during their win.
"I can't wait to take that trophy over to his house and take pictures with him, I can't wait to do that. Skipper, I love you and wish you were here."
One of the most beloved figures in Braves and MLB history. Bobby was like a father figure to countless folks across the game. He got to enjoy Andruw being elected to the Hall of Fame and Snit being inducted into the Braves HOF during his final months. He has impacted the Braves since the late 1970s and his influence will continue to benefit the organization for years to come. He was arguably the most influential figure in Braves history. RIP Bobby. You’ll be missed, but never forgotten.
@funneverstopz@DudespostingWs Exactly my point. Neither team should have won technically. Call time, talk about it, move runners up if needed and play on. To end the game like that makes no sense
@princesskitty80@jimmyfallon I literally told my wife that if Bianca won I'm not watching this show again because Ryan's pitch was more relatable to the product and showed multiple ways to use it. They had it rigged because she shouldn't have been in final 4 or final 2
@julianmc28@grantcohn Kaepernick made his choice and the Niners told him to not do it so they let him go and the NFL Owners blacklisted him. I loved Kap but he was also declining in his numbers YOY and he's probably still a good backup but he still made that choice, live with it
@connorreilly411@JXotiK3@nflrums He's not a good route runner, that's why he was so good when we could use him for both. He's not worth what he's going to ask for. We need a good WR that can separate and route running
