Why in the f&&& are you taking out a starting pitcher after 6 innings who has only thrown 89 pitches?? No wonder we struggle to put teams away. @Reds @RedsCowboy

@VitalVegas @CircaLasVegas One lonely opinion . All inclusive travel options are available all across the travel industry. All consumers love having options.

@ericcrawford What a Sh$$ show the tournament has become. All for the mighty $$.

@JaredWeissNBA @TheAndyKatz As a player I really liked Donovan. As a coach we really see who he is as a person and there is nothing like able about him. What a dope.

@markschlereth Juice-Juice -Juice. Putting him in over Rose would be criminal.

DAYTON JUST DID THAT!? 🤯

One of the best final sequences in college basketball this year.

Former Alter Knight Jacob Conner and Amael L’Etang the two heroes to seal an absoulte stunner.

@danorlovsky7 Just the beach! To me that was enough.

@MrInd1ana Does it really matter to ‘make’ the tournament. To get smoked in a play in game is embarrassing. Just sit at home- it’s more relaxing.

@CBSSportsCBB @JonRothstein You didn’t get to the best team and that was 75’ Indiana Hoosiers!!

@MustangMan_TX It’s his yard he can do what he wants.

@akafaceUS You can’t be ‘set up’ if you don’t break rules. Pretty simple.

[Mark Goebel @goebel1968]

@HeatCulture13 This is another reason today’s players can’t be considered all time greats. They chase money and rings - the greats play for their team. They don’t want to join together. Today’s NBA is unwatchable.

[Mark Goebel @goebel1968]

@Jacobtheclipper This is why he isn’t a top 10-20 player in history. Along with the fact that he just can’t shoot well. This will be his legacy.

Enough said!

Well Mr. Wright how shall I begin...

Beyond championship counts, Michael Jordan’s case as the superior player often rests on his unmatched scoring peak, elite perimeter defense, and efficiency in ball handling. 

Scoring Dominance:
Jordan is the NBA's career leader in points per game (30.1 PPG) and holds a record 10 scoring titles, while LeBron James has only one. His playoff scoring average of 33.4 PPG remains the highest in history.

Defensive Accolades:
Jordan won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) award in 1988, an honor LeBron has never achieved. He also earned nine All-Defensive First Team selections compared to LeBron’s five.

Ball Security & Free Throws:
Despite having a high offensive usage rate, Jordan was more careful with the ball, averaging fewer turnovers per game (2.7) than LeBron (3.5). He was also a significantly better free throw shooter, with a career average of 83.5% compared to LeBron's ~73.5%.

Two-Way Performance:
Jordan is the only player to lead the league in scoring and win DPOY in the same season. He also led the league in steals three times, whereas LeBron has never held a steals title.

Advanced Analytics:
Jordan holds the highest career Player Efficiency Rating (PER) at 27.9 (vs. LeBron’s 27.1) and the highest Box Plus/Minus in NBA history.

Slam Dunk Contest Legacy:
Jordan used the Slam Dunk Contest to solidify his "Air Jordan" persona and save the event's cultural relevance.
The Free-Throw Line Dunk: Jordan’s 1988 victory—specifically his flight from the free-throw line—is considered the most iconic moment in All-Star history. Back-to-Back Titles- Jordan won consecutive dunk contests (1987, 1988). LeBron, despite his elite athleticism, chose never to compete in the event, leaving a gap in his highlight reel that Jordan filled with legendary imagery.

Collegiate Pedigree:
While LeBron James entered the league as a polished 18-year-old, Jordan established a legendary foundation at the University of North Carolina (1981–1984). National Championship- As a freshman in 1982, Jordan hit the game-winning shot against Georgetown to secure the NCAA title—a major achievement LeBron never had the chance to pursue. (Individual Honors) Before turning pro, Jordan was already the consensus National Player of the Year (1984), a two-time All-American, and the top male athlete in ACC history.

Global Cultural Architect:
Jordan didn't just play in the NBA; he built the modern business model for the global superstar.

The Jordan Brand (a division of Nike) is a multi-billion dollar phenomenon that dwarfs all other athlete lines. In 2013 alone, Jordan's brand did $2.25 billion in sales, nearly eight times LeBron’s $300 million that same year.
Global Expansion: Jordan was the primary catalyst for the NBA's international explosion in the 1990s. His 1992 "Dream Team" performance in Barcelona transformed basketball from an American pastime into a global language.

Pop Culture Icon:
Through projects like Space Jam and his iconic commercials (Gatorade, McDonald's), Jordan became a household name even to those who never watched sports. Even in the farthest smallest parts of the world, people know Michael Jordan as much as they know Coca-Cola. Hopefully I explained it well enough for you.

See I didn't even mention...

This year, federal debt will exceed the size of our economy.

We need to fix entitlements, spend less, and grow more.

Every politician should have to answer for this in the next election.
