It is going to be really hard to beat his 7-3 record. So probably I will and that is ok.

We can probably have a better discussion after Sunday, he really needs this win.

3-4 eras in 20 years? Uh, no. There isn't a new era every 5-6 years. He never faced anything like the late 90s Pistons.

You may want to go look at what that guy was doing for the Bucks and for the first five years of his Lakers career.

Obviously he was great, but the moment Magic became a Laker, he was never the best player on his own team again.

LeBron has dominated in both a slow, physical post up era (2003-2010), a transition era where teams began changing their playing style as 3 PT shooting teams like the Spurs/Warriors emerged (2010-2015), and now a pure three point run-and-gun era (2015-now). He can handle any style of basketball, he's one of the most physically gifted athletes we've ever seen.

Beat me to it. Yeah, it seems like Adolf has no knowledge of KAJ when he was truly dominant in his prime.

That may be true, but we're still talking about a good decade where he was the best player.

It isn't OK. Don't give in to rings logic. Mahomes is better.

I'm just here for the KCC meltdown.

Somebody has to defend the GOAT from the unmitigated hate and jealousy. It can't just be Nick Wright.

Lots of QBs are/were better than peak Brady, they just weren't as lucky.

The fact that MJ is that high on the career scoring list despite playing far fewer games than the other 4 guys is a testament to his dominance.

I don't want to hate LeBron. He was my favorite player of this generation...I'm only seven months older than him... But he's devolved in a crying, grandstanding, crass, stat padder. I mean I'm watching the game excited for him to break the record but disgusted because he was blatantly playing on one end. He wasn't even thinking of challenging shots just looking for boards like it's some kind of shootaraound

More self-owns from KCC.
