Thread: Jordan vs James: Breaking down and Deep Diving the eras

Which maybe is a copout, but it's a way better answer than talking out his ass on something he doesn't know enough about. We'd probably be way better off as a society if more people took that approach to things.

LeBron has talked out of his ass about things he doesn't know about many times, there's lots of memes about it. He's sincere and corny, and he's done a lot of admirable things off the court. People who hate him for culture war political reasons are weird. But in general his stance and the stance of the NBA re: China is ***** shit.

Russell Westbrook is MJ-lite.

LeBron should just shut up and dribble more and people would like him better!

Wave, I like you a ton and respect you deeply as a person. Apologies if anything I said hit a chord or was too personal. Feels to me a little like you could be more open to other perspectives in this thread, but I also understand why you are responding the way that you are, and it doesn't change my opinion of you.

Having said that, you are going a bit too hard imo.

Driving hard toward the hoop expecting a foul, but get's hit with charging.

Depending on the importance you place on certain societal issues, it could be argued I'm not going hard enough. Sorry, I am not and will never be open to certain perspectives that pertain to why some people might not like LeBron or other people who advocate for the issues he does. This is vague, but it's as clear as I can be in this particular forum.

Upon review: call is overturned.

Overruled. The call stands.

PS - I've been the most pleasant person in these thread re: Jordan vs James. I can acknowledge the greatness of both players. I just happen to believe Jordan is better. And no bitching toward me is going to change that.

I think I've been the most pleasant--if I don't claim to be the most (insert good thing) is my schtick even worth it--and quite frankly no one will tolerate your besmirchment of my station!
