    I missed it but when did you take the mantle from LaRussa and became the keeper of the rules? Who made you the decision maker of what anyone can complain about and what they can’t?

    I expressed my opinion, I didn’t say it was absolute yet you pretend that your word is absolute. Come on man! Get off my lawn.

    Lighten up chief. Someone else pointed out that LeBron haters are tiresome and you immediately jumped in to defend yourself, which is kind of a tell.

    You do you. You have every right to pretend LeBron isn't injured and to pretend that LeBron "thinks he's too good" to hang out on the floor after getting eliminated from the playoffs. Just understand that he will retire eventually and you will have missed a hell of a show.

    Right, lighten up? Read your post, you’re the one telling me what to do and what to think. If there’s a tell it’s there.

    From what I can recall, I don’t go after LeBron much here, if at all. He’s the second-greatest player ever.

    My pushback is reserved for Twitter, where morons who think basketball was invented in 2001 also have been saying LeBron is the GOAT since 2013. He hasn’t earned that yet.

    If James never had all the accolades and hype before ever dribbling a basketball in the NBA, he’s probably not as polarizing as he is today. That’s his posse/team’s fault, but it’s also the fault of SI and ESPN. And The Decision. Jesus, was that a fucking shit show.

    Kobe raped a woman. Durant gets into pissing matches and changes teams as much as James. Harden is just odd. Kyrie just doesn’t play some games. Embiid is a Taco Bell teenager.

    James is a far better player than all of them, but the microscope on him is crazy. Problem is, his decisions over the years might have built the microscope.

    He’s the only player anyone would think of comparing to Jordan, and that is high praise in itself.

    Jordan, best of his generation.

    LeBron, best of his generation.

    The end.

    I want to go back in time and brain the person who first thought of ranking things from different generations.

    I don’t know. I don’t care. All I have is the moment I can see right now and memories. Those two things don’t mix.

    Sea Bass-

    I'm tired of those corruptions working their way into formal writing.

    I won't call it a request, I'll call it an ask because I'm an unoriginal fucking poseur shitbag who copies everything I just saw on Reddit.

    J.D. Vance. I thought he had a chance to be that “reasonable conservative” character that our discourse so desperately needs, but he’s a talking-point-madlibs conservabot like the rest of the idiot brigade.

    Every time I see "J.D. Vance," I think they're talking about the dude who was a character on Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
