It's always a blast to click on regurgitated Barry tweets and immediately see him getting smacked around in the replies

It's my favorite thing to do when KCC posts a Barry tweet. I rarely even point them out because I just get lost in the comments for minutes.

And if that's all he's got, he's no GOAT. BOAT? Maybe. But GOAT? Not compared to a guy who has played 21 years of pro basketball now at a top 5-10 level for its entirety (with the majority of it spent as the best player in the NBA). |

Only one of them lost a Finals as a heavy favortie while completely choking in the process (not to mention with a teammate playing at an MVP level)

Lebron + Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, AD = 4. MJ + Pippen = 6 And you think this is a W for Lebron. Completely delusional Lebron played on multiple loaded/super teams with multiple HOF players all in their prime. |

That’s fair and what I was trying to ascertain. I have a similar discussion with a colleague who is only 26.

He burned fast and bright - same as dozens of other guys throughout every major sport. He is far more akin to, say, James Harden than Michael Jordan. Or maybe Allen Iverson. Guys who weren't superlative players from day 1, hit a very high peak and then faded fairly quickly thereafter. Ken Griffey Jr might be the sort of comp your looking for in that at his apex there was nobody like him and he was excellent from the start. But Jordan, unlike Griffey, didn't build his legacy on JUST his apex. because again, his apex very easily could be through 1991. |
