What's the most iconic first line in any song ever written?

@TheRealJHair @Hoopss If your stats at 37 were the near the level of excellence of his at 29 then yes, yes it would. I’m amazed how you continue to go out of your way to diminish LeBron. You’re better than this Jerry.

@Hoopss Sandy Koufax retired at 29. I retired at 37. That makes me a better baseball player than Koufax! 🤣🤣

— Kareem at 41 only averaging 10.1 PPG — Jordan at 41 out of the league — Kobe at 41 out of the league — Shaq at 41 out of of the league — Magic at 41 out of the league — Bird at 41 out of the league — Hakeem at 41 out of the league Meanwhile, 41 year old LeBron James putting up 30 PTS on 92% in his 23rd season. This is why he's the GREATEST

@Jacobtheclipper 🥱

I told yall shooting isn’t hard, I scored more points than Bron ever has outside the key in a game 🤣 Our main scoring guard was missing. So I went away from being pass first and decided to be more score first this game. Ended up with 43 points and 7 made 3s. Now I know how Kobe felt, I had more points than the whole other team 🔥 This team is actually the 5th seed in our league and could be a playoff team but they were in a zone so I made them pay. We are now 9-0 Next week is the last game before playoffs we play a team that is 8-1 and only lost to us.

@RealSkipBayless You’re a Class A jerk. Skip is an appropriate name for you - as in “Skip” your mindless tweets.

The supremely talented Lakers with “MVP” Luka and “GOAT” LeBron just scored 22 in the 3rd???

@Mikehomeseller TFF

If you could only pick one, which would you take? #mikesquestions

I called it!!!

10 missed FTs in a tie game. SMH 🤦‍♂️ I have faith in Luka. He’s got 5 minutes to make up for his TOs & missed FTs. @KamBrothers

@CanyonDriver @Jacobtheclipper No, I think I’ll go with Jacob the internet pundit who assures me that today’s players can’t hold a candle to the “dawgs” of yesterday.

@W1P @Jacobtheclipper Maybe the guy that's been tracking the draft well over a decade and watching those rookies stick and less guys retiring out of the league?

I vehemently disagree here. I don't see how the NBA isn't talented enough. Role players have never been as well rounded in terms of skill. Ever.

@MissionVlyMafia Then your trashing of Joe makes no sense.

@W1P Naw dude. Vin Scully was amazing

How long will Fox continue to punish the country with having to hear the voice of Joe Davis in the most important baseball games? He’s not good, at all. He only gets the gig because of the friends he makes living in LA. There’s at least 20 better options than Joe Davis 🤮

@Jacobtheclipper @thetailgateapp Yeah! So a post prime Sabonis as the equivalent of Wemby. 🤦‍♂️ Meantime Shaq wouldn’t play 30 minutes because he’d be exhausted playing 3 pt line defense. But you do you.

When I tell you Wemby and Chet would QUIT basketball if they had to play Shaq I am not exaggerating… He made defensive giants look like kids trying to guard him 🔥 (@thetailgateapp)

@Jacobtheclipper Wemby’s TS% is almost exactly the same as Kareem’s

Imagine if Wemby worked on a sky hook instead of a 3 point shot this much, dude would be unstoppable

Lebron James gives so little effort on the court. Walking up and down court. Standing around on offense. Hate to see it.

@TheRealJHair @theblockspot Coach K’s opinion is highly suspect after he let LBJ languish on the bench in ‘04 leading to a bronze.

@theblockspot The guy who coached all 3 & is the greatest college coach will tell you. #GOAT

People will tell you with a straight face that LeBron James is not the greatest basketball player to ever live.

@Kyle_Odegard His son is at Houston

Master P is interested in the Arizona State men's basketball coaching gig, per sources. He is currently the president of basketball ops for the University of New Orleans. Coached guys like DeMar DeRozan, Lance Stephenson and Brandon Jennings in AAU ball.

@CanyonDriver @SBN_Ricky Were you an advocate of Jaime Jacquez Jr?

@SBN_Ricky As long as I've been doing this, I've asked people if they have a philosophy on the draft. Almost 100% of the time, it's no, so when I see a board that's very different without much pattern into any principle, it's difficult to take it seriously.

@dbluetroy @DTrainMLB Fernando!

@DTrainMLB Dontrelle could take!

@forumbluegold @LFRPod 4th Q was Vaguely reminiscent of the Celtics - Lakers Game 7 2010

In the 4th quarter, the Lakers defense held the Rockets to just 12 points. Houston had more turnovers (7) than made field goals (4). Just a rock fight of a game that the Lakers were able to battle through and win.

@jovanbuha Glad to see DFS as a liability for the opposition!

Second straight game the Lakers have played against a potential first-round opponent in a playoff-like environment. Second straight game they out-executed their opponent with a series of big plays from each of their closers.
