Wow. He beat a mediocre Houston team without Kevin Durant.
Give me a flop — I mean a break.

LeBron James is the GOAT. What we just witnessed vs. Rockets was stunning trib.al/bIbq3GQ

@JustinWStapley Again false.
To get 270 you only need the 14 biggest states, while ignoring all other small states. The fact that did not happen is because U.S. population distribution, not electoral college itself.
English
Under the Electoral College, the President is elected by the states and it is the states who choose to run popular elections to select electors. This is actually an integral part of the longevity of the union, because the great compromise ensures that small states are not subsumed by a national policy driven be the population advantage of large states. Remove this framework and why would a state like Wyoming stick around and be dictated to by a government that only represents the coastal enclaves?

PETE BUTTIGIEG: "What if we selected our President by letting the person who got the most votes take the office, instead of the Electoral College?"

@Thelscwxman I think you need to learn the difference between merge and acquisition.
English
U.S. Airways and American merged and it was ok. United and Continental merged and it was ok. Yet somehow Jet Blue and Spirit merging was a violation yet it represented less than 10% of the market. D’s brought this to court. Own it.
Tom Santos@tommysantos14
Since the paid MAGA influencer losers are executing their marching orders on this Spirit story, let’s inject some reality. The Biden administration didn’t stop any Spirit mergers. The issue went to trial and a judge ruled that a Jet Blue/Spirit merger violated US antitrust laws, and would likely increase prices on consumers. The courts ruled, correctly, that the merger violated the law and would hurt Americans. So, fellow Americans: what MAGA is really saying is they don’t give a shit about the law, and they don’t give a shit if you had to pay more to fly. politico.com/news/2024/01/1…

@ShowCaseShabazz They were not kidding when they say LeBron can be a quarterback.
English
@NBAStatGuy_ Jokic got a huge boost in 23 because he helped sweep the Lakers, potentially prevented James' 5th ring.
English
People want to tear down Jokic and say ‘if this was LeBron’ but nobody is LeBron and nobody has ever been held to his standards. Kobe was 28 when he blew a 3-1 first round lead, losing in OT in gm 6 and lost by 31 with a game low -28 in game 7.
But ‘Mamba mentality’ persists.

@VnrutaS @thesanityrevolt You need to make up your mind. Are you going to complain about that district or say it's good?
English
gerrymandering is when republicans draw maps based on a balance approach to land and population density.
fair districting is when democrats draw districts especially for racial minorities so they can have free power.
Top Girl Keiko, J.D. ✝️🙏@TopGirlKeiko
They are rigging the elections through gerrymandering because Republicans can’t win otherwise.
English
@TonerousHyus Except it was Texas that started the mid-cycle redistricting.
English
Without Gavin trying to comically flip his state 48-4 none of this would have happened.
All because he wanted to get a slight poll bump for 2028, which has faded completely now.

The Virginia referendum is an underrated reason for the Southern states moving in lockstep to ratfuck the dems as hard as possible.
English
@Zeus_z3 @thesanityrevolt Yeah because otherwise GOP would dilute black voters as much as possible so as to disenfranchise them.
That is the whole point of VRA.
English
@VnrutaS @thesanityrevolt Clearly a VRA drawn district, specifically drawn to give Democrats a strong house seat. The only reason Republicans would do that is because they were forced to by federal law and courts.
English
@Alexjakes8 Drarymond can choose not to hit LeNuts.
Too bad he cannot hold his temper.
English
He had all the space in the world to simply walk around Draymond.Then he looks down & timed exactly when Draymond would get up so he could sit on that man’s neck to get a reaction. These type of details are what’s left out of the “3-1” narrative
He knew exactly what he was doing
80’s/90’s Plumbers Rep@MoryMagisSprts
Any logical person knows Bron is the culprit. There’s video evidence. Bron throws Dray down, purposely steps over him then urged the league to suspend the victim. CLE comically vied for a 2 gm suspension. Bron constantly insulting our intelligence.
English
@apexjones22 MJ release his playoff footage during 2016 finals is definitely a coincident.
English
MJ never f..cked with Lebron because he always saw the b*tch in Bron. He was Kobe’s big bro because he saw himself, the killer competitor, in Kobe.
It’s not complicated, dummy
NBA Courtside@NBA__Courtside
Nick Wright on the lack of relationship between Michael Jordan and LeBron James: “Just my speculation here. I think that Jordan became less and less comfortable with LeBron’s place in the basketball ecosystem as LeBron started getting closer and closer and closer to becoming the people’s choice for greatest player ever. I always felt one of the reasons Jordan embraced Kobe was not only did Kobe model his entire game and at times his persona after Jordan, it was very clear relatively early that Kobe was never going to, like Kobe’s ceiling in the eyes of the majority was going to be second to Jordan. And so Jordan felt comfortable putting his arms around him. There was no threatening of his stature. And it’s not lost on anyone that people had been trying to make the last dance forever. That footage had been around forever and Jordan did not okay it until two days after the 3-1 comeback against the Warriors. The story is that it was the day of the Cavs parade that Jordan finally green lit that. So I think there’s always been a little uncomfortableness, but I think it is very interesting that LeBron is saying, “I hope I made him proud.” (Via @WhatsWrightShow)

@timeless_peon @thesanityrevolt You still have not realize that just because the district looks ugly does not meant it is wrong?
English
@VnrutaS @thesanityrevolt You were the one who pointed out how dumb the shape was! I pointed out that it was the VRA requiring the creation of "Separate but equal" Congressional Districts, which countered *your* point about the shape of that district.
English
@timeless_peon @thesanityrevolt Are you really going to use "separate but equal" as your accusation here? You have no clue where that phrase come from do you?
Not that I am surprised.
English
@VnrutaS @thesanityrevolt And changing it so there is a district local to San Antonio and local to Austin instead of that abomination should be rational in the 21st century, and I would say that should be rational even if the outcome is two Democrat leaning districts.
English
@timeless_peon @thesanityrevolt "Look at this ridiculous Dem district."
"Look at this ridiculous GOP district required by VRA because otherwise GOP would dilute black voters which is by definition racist."
"This district is ugly!"
English
@VnrutaS @thesanityrevolt "Look at this ridiculous Republican district"
"They were required to make it per the VRA, it is pretty ridiculous isn't it."
"You're racist for wanting to change the ridiculous district"
English
@timeless_peon @thesanityrevolt That is the point?
"I am not racist, I just happen to purposefully dilute black voters."
English
@VnrutaS @thesanityrevolt Because the proposed map isn't the one you are showing in your image.
English
@timeless_peon @thesanityrevolt Why do you cutoff the quote before?
"The proposed map splits voters of color in Tarrant County among multiple neighboring Republican districts and changes the shape of the 35th District in Central Texas."
English
@VnrutaS @thesanityrevolt "The proposed map splits voters of color in Tarrant County among multiple neighboring Republican districts and changes the shape of the 35th District in Central Texas, which was originally created as a result of a court order to protect the voting rights of people of color."
English
@TheJordanTruth It took Jordan 3 years to get Pippen, it took LeBron 8 years to get even a decent help and he had to find it himself.
English
It took LeBron 9 seasons to win a championship. It took MJ 7 seasons and he played when the East was the stronger Conference.
Vincent Bonsignore@VinnyBonsignore
Oh really? LeBron got to his first NBA championship series when he was 22 and won his first when he was 27. It took LeBron 4 years to lead a team to the NBA finals. It took Jordan seven years to lead a team to the finals. He was 28 when he won his first championship.
English
@RWPopulism You must be special kind of stupid to think Texas has a Democratic gerrymandered map.
English
Ignoring the fact that the Texas map is a dem gerrymander, that configuration is horrific and you should be ashamed
Michael O’Brien@DrOBrienMD
The GOP is acting like the only reason there were blue districts in the South is because they were “court ordered” via the VRA. Meanwhile, they were packing Black people into districts to protect their own incumbents instead of drawing fair maps like these: It’s nonsense.
English
The South will look like this in 2026.
Then we start ICE raids on Atlanta and Charlotte to finish the job.
Don’t be mad.
This is just reparations to hard-working disenfranchised Deep South Americans who have had their civil rights unconstitutionally stolen by racist Democrats.
English
Now do New England for Republicans.
David@davidslosttt
It's possible that the Democrats only have 6 districts in the ENTIRE DEEP SOUTH
