I shared an elevator with Lebron James and famously (to my friends who were in the elevator) did not know who he was and told him as much to his face.

Ah, so he’s taking somebody or everybody over him. Hmm.

Nothing says “I’m smart!” like an unintentional double negative. Just one more example proving that intelligence and wealth often have very little to do with one another.

Mike has humility. LeBron does not.

I am told he’s a great b-ball player.
No problem.
However, I don’t give a dorkbama about b-ball...or soccer for that matter.
As such, his pitter patter don’t matter.

If basketball had never been invented, what would he have done with his life?

How many times did he hit the floor during the interview?

I don’t follow basketball, but from everything I’ve read about James and Jordon, while James may be great on the court, he doesn’t hold a candle to Jordon as a person. And, in addition to being a great person, Jordon was great on the court too. I was interested in watching Jordon play, and couldn’t give a s—t about watching low-life James. Just my opinion.

I have no use for the NBA. I saw just one game with Larry Bird playing. Just plain boring, seeing these super tall freaks of nature running around in their underwear. I would prolly like college ball.

A hundred years from now when we’re all long gone they’ll still be talking about MJ being the GOAT. It will then be LeBron who?

Hey Lebron. Jordan never lost a finals.

Free Throw Percentage: Larry Bird (88.6%) vs. LeBron James (73.5%). Sorry Lebron, I’ll take Larry, he could make a foul shot.

Wilt Chamberlain’s dominance forced the NBA and NCAA to implement several key rule changes designed to limit his unfair advantages:

Free Throw Lane Width: The lane was expanded from 12 feet to 16 feet in 1964 to prevent Chamberlain from camping near the basket.

Free Throw Dunking: A rule was established in 1956 prohibiting shooters from crossing the free throw line until the ball hits the rim, stopping Chamberlain’s technique of leaping to dunk his own free throws.

Offensive Goaltending: Also introduced in 1956, this rule banned players from interfering with the ball while it was on its way down to the basket, preventing Chamberlain from guiding shots in.

Inbounding Over the Backboard: The practice of throwing alley-oop passes over the backboard for a teammate to catch and dunk was banned because Chamberlain exploited this play.

3-Second Violation: Strict enforcement of the rule limiting how long an offensive player can remain in the paint was intensified to counter his presence in the key.

“I would not put any flopper in the top 10.”


Completely agree. I’ve been a Laker fan since I was 5 years old, which was a LONG time ago, and I don’t care for James at all.

Jordan, Bird, Magic, Kobe, Wilt, Russell, Jerry West - all superior to LeBron.
