@SheponAir @getnickwright Winning Championships doesn't mean you're the best player--teams win championships. Since 2007--LeBron was the best all around player in the game and he outplayed Kobe in those respective matchups.

I respect @getnickwright, but he’s 100% wrong about Kobe Bryant never being the best player in the world Kobe was THE best player from 2005-2010. Had the accolades, game & TWO rings without Shaq to prove it! Meanwhile Lebron had ZERO Finals wins from 2005-2010 Full Clip here youtu.be/JmG2WZa4t44

@Godsgirl77777 Wild how some Christians think premarital sex is the ultimate sin but never mention adultery, greed, hatred, divorce, exploiting workers, or worshipping billionaires.

Jason Collins and I developed a friendship over the years. He reached out to me after I wrote an article for Time about the experience of LGBT Catholics in the United States. We talked about faith, politics, and my favorite topic — the 1998 Final Four. I’ll miss my friend. May the angels welcome him home to paradise. nytimes.com/2026/05/12/us/…

@jason_howerton @based_ballsack Lmao, we see all the games now. We only saw the highlights on SportsCenter when MJ was playing — limited access to games. We see everything now and make random judgments on every player. Also, MJ's teams go to the playoffs after he leaves.LeBron leaves--lottery-bound? Leadership?

@based_ballsack lmao i couldnt care less about LeBron's politics. Less rings, 10x less leadership capabilities, flop master... he's a great player, but Jordan aces him in most categories other than longevity

LeBron James is a generational physical talent. He’s a great player, hall of famer. He had a good run. But the debate over whether he is better than Michael Jordan is honestly embarrassing at this point. Jordan is the GOAT, and now we can stop talking about it.

It's Rashad vs everyone in Gil's Arena for thinking it was embarrassing for the Lakers to get swept 👀 "OKC didn't do nothing special to prove that the Lakers couldn't win 2-3 games. The Lakers are not a well coached team."

@Catch23x @SherwoodStrauss As I said, that was true pick-up basketball for the love of the game. All players strive for the big crowds; that was just pure ball. True competition. Everyone was fresh and ready to go--With your logic, the Warriors Championship shouldn't count because Kyrie and Love were out.

Catch 23 🐈‍⬛
Catch 23 🐈‍⬛@Catch23x·
How many asterisks is acceptable to you to count a season / championship? Honestly, think about that. I accept the 2012 lockout season with an asterisk. It counts just not as much as a full season. But if you said a large percentage of the players didn’t play in that season… that’s a big asterisk. Steph Curry and the warriors didn’t even go to the Bubble? Wild, big asterisk. Injured players out for the season got 4-6 months to heal and come back? Huge asterisk. No travel, no fans? Just pick up games in a quiet gym? A lot of guys shrink when the lights are bright, and when the noise is so loud. Huge asterisk. And the list goes on and on now if you do this 18 to 20 times and keep adding things to the list of why the season doesn’t count or why it was so different. How can you wrap your head around this championship and even any statistic or any award that was awarded during that season it just doesn’t make sense. Help me understand your point of view outside of James’s legacy. Why do you think the bubble should be listed as a legitimate championship trophy and not a micky mouse trophy with 18-20 asterisks? Thank you

@JoelFranHoops @SherwoodStrauss 18 asterisks is too much. Can’t count it. Not comparable to a lockout season or even anything from other sports at the same time. It was less legit than the Coronavirus vaccines 💉

@SherwoodStrauss Very true. However, the Bubble doesn’t count. 🫧 Even with that said, very interesting time in LA. I wouldn’t say good, or even comparable to Miami or Cleveland, but it was definitely weird. Wearing MJ’s number and Kobe’s jersey is quite a different picture.

NEW @YahooSports: If last night was truly LeBron James’ final game as a Laker, he’ll walk away knowing he had a Hall of Fame career *based solely on his 8 Lakers years.* LeBron has now stacked 4 HOF careers, and I shared all the data to prove it: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/ki…
