True but the last time Lebron went all 82 games was in 2017 at age 34.

Him getting injured more as he's entered his mid to late 30s can't be at all surprising considering how many games he played (and how remarkably durable he was) in the preceding 15 years.

It's been 7 years since the Broncos beat the Chiefs and KenPom Connection has talked about LeBum every single day since then doubled...pathetic

You're right, it should be even more considering the records he's been breaking. Mahomes has been taking up even more of my attention for the past five years.

I will strive to improve.

Wait - is KCC the same guy that used to pump off Sagarin ratings and what not all the time? I'm almost positive that guy was a Jayhawk homer.

If so, lord almighty - guy gets a thought in his head and it's the ONLY thought in his head. He does have his sacred cows, doesn't he?

PB is the Sagarin guy. I'm the KenPom guy. I think it's fair to describe us both as Jayhawk homers though.

Yeah, as much as your LeBron fascination (and Jayhawk fandom) annoys me, I remembered Sagarin guy being much more of a caustic shitweasel.

So I suppose that's a compliment...

I think that's a fair description of PB as well. We have our disagreements on KU for sure.

The idea that LeBron's ego is somehow unique among such all-time athletes is amusing to me.

They all firmly believe they're the greatest to ever do it. That's part of why guys like him and MJ even reached the ridiculous levels they did.

So MJ is probably a pretty shitty guy. But you respected his competitive nature. The tenacity. The want to win. LeBron is iust a cringey guy. Seems like hes super obsessed what people think and wants to make sure he has a specific image. Jordan to some extent too they just go about their business differently.

It's not like the guy lies so much that it's become a meme or anything.

He did read the back cover of a Malcom X book.

Embiid doesn't deserve MVP for this decision alone.

Accurate.

Charles Barkley was a LeBron fan way back in 84. Before anyone really knew about him. You can ask any of his teammates who didn't know anything about LeBron. He would be in the locker room telling all his teammates that James was gonna be the next big thing.

LeBron annihilates the Bulls in the rematch. Amazing what can happen when you actually start and play the greatest player in history.
