He’s the second best player I’ve ever seen and when he became the villain for me, it was still fun. That also doesn’t mean that a lot of the criticisms he receives aren’t warranted. He has bitch tendencies. |

I've felt that way for a long time, but it was greatly reinforced going to St. Louis a few weeks ago. Pujols was a reason to stop what you were doing and watch him bat for a decade. The mind is still willing, but the body failed him years ago. His heavier, long-since bald, with creaky knees and a slow bat. The decline is sad, and it should make you appreciate the skill of the prime years. Otherwise, all you have is bickering and lament.

Kawhi played 2-on-2 on the other side of the court when the Spurs were practicing, then sat out games to force a trade when he was still under contract Kobe forced out the best center of the last 40 years because he didn't want to share the limelight Kevin Durant fled to a team that beat him after he collapsed in the playoffs Shaq shortened his prime because he didn't want to stay in shape Jordan was a terrible, terrible teammate for a good portion of his career The only transcendent player I can think of during my life that didn't have bitch tendencies was probably Tim Duncan

I love that the resident Siakam homer that holds Siakam has this untouchable golden goose player calls Harrell a "role piece" when analytically they are both the same. Siakam: OWS DWS WS OBPM DBPM BPM VORP 5.7 3.6 9.3 2.0 1.4 3.4 3.5 Harrell: OWS DWS WS OBPM DBPM BPM VORP 6.1 2.6 8.7 2.6 1.6 4.2 3.4 |

I said this the moment LeDouche signed with Lakers. He's going there to destroy that franchise. His presence alone deterred PG and Kawhi Leonard. LAL fans will forever rue the day yall signed him.

I appreciate you creating the nadir for horrible takes in this thread, though.

And that's the thing: I can see an argument for LeBron, and I think there are rational points you can make in order to defend it, even if I don't fully agree. The issue, as I'm sure you know, comes from the people that move to either extreme when entrenched in their positions (what does that sound like?). When people say shit like Kobe is much better than LeBron, or that Jordan was just a ball hog, they're either stupid, ignorant, intellectually dishonest, or some combination thereof.
