🚨 Ronaldo Nazário (R9) on who is better: himself or Cristiano Ronaldo:
"People often compare us because we are both named Ronaldo, but our careers were very different.
I won the World Cup, and that is something nobody can take away from me. But football greatness is not decided by one tournament alone. It is measured by the impact you leave on the game."
"When Cristiano started his career, Portugal was not considered one of football's traditional superpowers like Brazil, Argentina, France, Germany, or Spain. Those countries had generations of world-class players and a long history of winning major trophies."
"Cristiano changed that. He became the face of Portuguese football and led his country to trophies that many people never believed Portugal could win. An entire generation of Portuguese players grew up inspired by him and dreamed of playing at the highest level in Europe because of what he achieved."
"At my best, I believe I had abilities that very few players in history possessed. But Cristiano's longevity, discipline, mentality, and achievements over more than twenty years are extraordinary."
In NBA history, only twice has a team won a playoff game despite missing 2 players who each averaged 20.0+ PPG while making 100+ threes for that team during the regular season.
Both wins were by this year's @Lakers.
Anthony Davis never winning defensive player of the year award is interesting because he was best defender in 2010s early 2020s but when they don’t like you they don’t like you
