Shane Battier on Miami LeBron and why LeBron is the GOAT:
“For as good as you think he was, he was that much better. I’m biased, but when people say LeBron or MJ, I say LeBron did something twice, that I don’t think Jordan could ever do once. He won two NBA titles with Shane Battier as his starting PF. I love Mike, one of the greatest of all time but LeBron did it twice with me as his bum ass PF….. The force, intelligence, he didn’t have a weakness when he was in his prime. There was no answer for him. He was like the Queen on the chess board. Could do everything.”

🏥Damn those Migraines
It's 2013, and Navaro Bowman is coming off his 2nd straight All-Pro season. His whole life, he’s built bonds through makeshift family, but he's finally decided to meet the real one.
His sister takes him out to the spot where his father was shot. Then a man in a blue car drives right past. Navoro takes a long, hard look…cuz that was the man who killed his father.
If you think losing 1 dad is bad, imagine…losing 3.
Navarro Bowman has suffered his share of loss.
But through loss comes strength, and through death comes life.
Narrow Bowman played 7 seasons in the league; during that time, he was named to 4 All-Pro teams. Some saw him as the other linebacker with Patrick Willis, but Navarro was a beast in his own right.
The injury blade cut down his prime. And the day he fell was a day of great mourning. But the warrior's bloodline remains intact. And the old patriarch has new battles to lead.
His place in NFL history is unique. He's one of those who serve as a bridge between old school and new. A 3-down backer with range and power.
A mixture of good instincts and bad intentions.
