@ManicuredSavage

@6Hogg6 But…nobody is arguing that missing the playoffs is better than getting swept! We’re arguing that age-22 Jordan should be compared to age-22 LeBron, not age-37 LeBron! Or compare them both at 37!

@ManicuredSavage How is not making the playoffs more impressive than getting swept in the first round?

So let me get this straight about LeBron: - He never led a dynasty due to team hopping - He never led a historic team like the '86 Celtics or '96 Bulls - He never 3-Peated - He let another team win 70 games in his era - He watched the Knicks win a championship led by a 5'11", slow, chubby PG in what his fans say is the most athletic era ever - He let another slow, chubby unathletic player win 3 MVPs under his watch on top of a slew of other unathletic MVPs (Nash, Dirk, SGA, Harden) We've now seen Kawhi, Giannis, Steph, Jokic, Tatum, SGA, KAT & Brunson win rings since LeBron left Cleveland. When was this man ever dominant? When was his prime and what did he accomplish in it?

@EndlessMike45 @DougFromNBC @6Hogg6 You used teen LeBron to attack his legacy. I used teen Jordan to defend it. Now age context suddenly doesn’t count? You set the rules. I just beat you with them. The embarrassing thing here is you keep name-calling every time the logic closes in on you! Everyone can see it man!

@ManicuredSavage @DougFromNBC @6Hogg6 No, you retard. You first mentioned LeBron losing in the Finals compared to MJ losing in the first round. Hence my bringing up Bron not even making the playoffs Now you're desperate and crying how LeBron was younger than MJ as a rookie so it doesn't count Embarrassing

@EndlessMike45 @DougFromNBC @6Hogg6 Nobody is criticizing rookie MJ! The original post criticized LeBron’s ENTIRE career. You then brought up LeBron missing playoffs at 19. I matched it with Jordan getting swept at the same age. Now you want to zoom in on teen LeBron while zooming out on teen Jordan!

@ManicuredSavage @DougFromNBC @6Hogg6 This isn’t difficult. If you’re criticizing rookie and 2nd year MJ for being swept in the 1st round, then missing the playoffs entirely isn’t better, which is what Bron did It’s that simple. You’re getting this worked up about applying consistent logic lmao

@EndlessMike45 @6Hogg6 You dodged my point about Jordan’s 1st-round exits happening at an older age than the LeBron seasons you’re criticizing. And dude, do you not see how your question is proving my point?

@ManicuredSavage @6Hogg6 If I called you retarded without addressing your argument you’d have a point. But I did both. Answer the question. What’s better, making the playoffs and getting swept or missing the playoffs?

@EndlessMike45 @6Hogg6 Wow. Dude, reread the posts You're proving my point! Jordan's first-round exits happened when he was OLDER than the LeBron seasons you're criticizing! Ahahaha Note to everyone: Endless Mike has to resort to name calling…

@ManicuredSavage @6Hogg6 Grown ass star? You mean a rookie and 2nd year player Don’t go retarded because your logic falls apart. That’s desperation

@EndlessMike45 @6Hogg6 Because one guy was a teenager on a lottery team, and the other guy was a grown ass star getting swept. Context isn't optional.

@ManicuredSavage @6Hogg6 How is not making the playoffs better than being swept in the first round by historic teams?

@EndlessMike45 @DougFromNBC @6Hogg6 So LeBron gets punished for not carrying lottery teams as a teen, but Jordan gets grace for getting swept as a grown ass MVP-level player? Ok, so at 19/20, LeBron missed the playoffs. At 22/23, MJ was getting swept. But by 22, LeBron had dragged the cavs to the Finals!

@ManicuredSavage @DougFromNBC @6Hogg6 You understand whole MJ was losing on the first round, Bron wasn’t even making the playoffs? So what’s worse, losing in the first round or not making the playoffs?

@DougFromNBC @6Hogg6 Er… with the same spirit, would Jordan’s legacy be better or worse if he had reached the Finals earlier instead of getting swept in the first round?

@ManicuredSavage @6Hogg6 In the spirit of objectivity, since I have had LBJ fans explain to me that Jordan making 6 Finals appearances in 8 years means his era was weak then LBJ making 8 consecutive appearances also means his era was weak as well.

@girlsreallyrule My bodega’s Egyptian, my pizza’s perfect, my doorman knows tricks… Knicks in 6!!!!

I have a question for the hard-core Knick fans...do you want this win tonight or would you prefer to wait until they are in New York?

@FastbreakHoops5 What? LeBron has the most playoff losses BECAUSE he has played more playoff games than anyone in history...he also has the most playoff wins. You realize this is a longevity stat?

The most playoff loses in NBA history.

@misterfloaton @overtime @NBA No one’s crowning LeBron James GOAT off one play. But the MJ-Stan's never recall that MJ lost in the playoffs 9 times! Strange GOAT logic: losing before the Finals somehow counts less than reaching them?!

@overtime @NBA Only lebron can get called the goat for a play made in the first round lol. Meanwhile mj is undefeated in the actual finals.

LEBRON. JAMES. MY KING. MY GOAT. (via @NBA)

@big_business_ Anyone else feeling the Jordan -> Lebron zeitgeist shift?

BRO WHAT JUST HAPPENED

The reason you behave the way you do may not be your fault, but it is your responsibility. Just thought of this nugget and thought it may be useful...

Interesting how the people who hated media lies now love a platform where they get to do the lying...could it be that it was never about truth? Maybe just control?

@KeruboSk Do you notice it with certain genres? You may have aphantasia!! I do…

I was telling someone the other day, “Sometimes I get so excited while reading that my eyes jump ahead and skip whole paragraphs, and I have to make myself go back and reread what I missed.” They looked at me and said, “No one does that.” Please tell me I’m not the only one 😭😩

Random though watching the replies here on X: Once politics becomes part of your identity, changing your mind can feel like betrayal rather than growth.

@irie_deby @MikeJoPro @HeatherThomasAF Well, Irie, it looks like @MikeJoPro and @ginged78 blocked me just for calmly offering another perspective. Strange how some people preach tolerance until they hear a view they don’t like. In my experience,MAGA folks are more open to honest disagreement than liberals...

@ManicuredSavage @MikeJoPro @HeatherThomasAF No, it forces pharmacies to compete & big pharmacies. So you are wrong on both counts.

Is there anything Trump has done that in any way has benefited the average American? Healthcare, Cost of Living, Education, Hunger, Homelessness, Infrastructure, Climate Change, Crime, Gun Control, anything. Anything at all?

@ginged78 @MikeJoPro @HeatherThomasAF That chart actually proves my point more than yours. The decline started in 2022. Fentanyl deaths peaked and began falling and THEN ACCELERATED DRAMATICALLY. You don’t get to credit the slow start of a trend to one administration and then dismiss the acceleration under the next.

@ManicuredSavage @MikeJoPro @HeatherThomasAF So continuation of the post-Covid drop seen before Trump took office.

@MNe32745 @irie_deby @MikeJoPro @HeatherThomasAF What part of what I said was not true? Please point me to the source. The question was, “Is there anything Trump has done that in any way has benefited the average American?” That answer is objectively yes. (Which doesn’t imply that everything’s great or anything)

@ManicuredSavage @irie_deby @MikeJoPro @HeatherThomasAF So, even if what you said is true (it’s not), Americans are still paying more for fuel, food & utilities. Job numbers are down. Epstein files haven’t all been released. We’re at war now with Cuba on deck next. Trump has broken all his campaign promises. Stop lying for the pedo.
