MJ: "You only got three, I got six." When asked in 2017, who ranks higher between LeBron and Kobe, MJ picked Kobe. His reasoning: "Would I rank LeBron over Kobe in terms of best of all time? No. There's something about five that beats three." The goal has always...

The 2007 Cavs were not a horrible team. I cheered for LeBron to win it all. Larry Hughes, Big Z, Drew Gooden and Eric Snow was basically like what Hakeem had with 93 Rockets. The Cavs playoff run... -Swept a weak 41 win Wizards (Arenas Sucks) -Beat the 41 Nets in 6 -Took out the 53 win Pistons in 6. The Cavs were a 50 win team. It wasn't a miracle that they won. I was impressed with what LeBron did to the Pistons. Those were some of his best games. The Spurs were a 58 win team but, the Cavs swept them in the regular season. After the ECF, LeBron had all the momentum but, he came up short. All those Finals games were winnable. The defense did it's job but, LeBron's offensively came up short. LeBron went from 27ppg to 22ppg on 35%. Looking back, Kobe would've absolutely won if he switched places. Are you kidding me? The 22 year old version of Kobe would've lit the Spurs up. The mid version of Kobe was averaging like 33+ppg. Swap Kobe and LeBron in 2007, the Cavs would win a title while LeBron wouldn't make the playoffs with that rebuilding Lakers team.

The KLUTCH Sports Group / LeBron affect trying to erase Kobe Bryant from the GOAT debate exposed in 4k 📸: Colin Cowherd 2011: “Kobe been the best player for about a decade” vs. 2016: “LeBron has been the best since 07’, & Kobe may have never been the best player in the league” shannon sharpe 2012: MJ Kobe are the top 2 all time. vs. 2017: Kobe is 10th all time. nick wright 2012: Kobe 5th all time, & the second best player I’ve seen. vs. 2017: LeBron the only person to join the list.. but somehow Kobe goes back 3 spots to 8th. Also he had Kobe>Duncan (like everybody else) but now argues that Duncan may better. Stephen A Smith 2012: Kobe 2nd all time behind only MJ. vs. 2022: Kobe isn’t top 5, then goes on to talk down on Kobe’s 3 rings with Shaq.. when he has BOTH Magic & Kareem top 5. The agenda pushing to get Kobe out of the GOAT convo is so obvious it’s insane. Good thing NOBODY fell for the agenda only kids & Kobe haters take it serious 💯

kobe averaged 10 more ppg than any other player in the entire 2010 finals, with a broken finger on his shooting hand. while boston fought with all they had trying to prevent him from scoring. in game 6, they said even if the lakers lose he would STILL get fmvp, bc he was that far and away the best player of the series. my brother, lets be real. 😂

Darryn Peterson credits him looking up to Kobe for his ability to thrive in late game situations 🔥 "I'm a Kobe guy, that's something he did. Anytime i can assert dominance i try to. So at the end of games, i try to kill" Notice how Lebron is NEVER mentioned when talking about being a killer and taking over games, thats because he is a known choke artist 😭😭😭

50 IN THE FINALS Elgin Baylor (61), Michael Jordan (55), Rick Barry (55), Jerry West (53), LeBron James (51), Giannis Antetokounmpo (50), and Bob Petit (50) are the only players in NBA history to score 50 or more in a NBA Finals game. They all did it in a win.. well except for ONE GUY When that guy scored 50 in his Finals game, he quit in that same game, turning what looked to be a competitive series into a 4 game one-sided sweep, the 4th most lopsided Finals ever. Facts like these are why the supreme importance of WINNING is campaigned against by LeBron & his podcast partners, and by his defeated fans

The Pelicans started doing something that could help us win A LOT of money... Dejounte Murray 6+ Assists (+115) Feel Free to Ladder after reading the reasoning below and the videos attached⤵️ Last game vs the Lakers, Dejounte Murray had 15 Potential Assists in 28 minutes, and they were all pretty good quality looks The big change they made to the offense is using ZION as the roll-man in the Pick and Roll. This 2-man game that has Dejounte as a willing and creative passer, sending chances to Zion who is one of the premier finishers in the paint in the NBA lead to 4 of his 8 assists alone. Today he gets to face a Suns defense that is missing one of their big bodies in Mark Williams and another one of their biggest enforcers in Dillon Brooks, while also being on the 2nd leg of a B2B. Dejounte just returned from a lengthy recovery of an Achilles Tear 4 games ago but had 13 months of recovery. This is on the longer end of recovery time (at least in modern medicine) and has ramped up to 28 minutes last game. Anything above 25 and we should cash out here! If you made it this far.... I hope you are tailing! Make sure to show some love before you leave

Ok. So, it is very early and I'm only catching up now. If I got this right: 0. The organizers of the event took government money to facilitate the event, fully knowing that Messi playing was key to the money being awarded as a grant. 1. Messi and Suarez were injured, but Martino never mentioned to the organizers that they wouldn't play. The game was held without warning fans that the main reason they were there was not going to feature. 2. David Beckham was booed during the award ceremony for this friendly. 3. Martino acknowledges the failure in letting folks know Messi was not going to play. 4. They play Japan's Vissel Kobe on Wednesday after embarrassing losses and a win in Hong Kong. Yup, this preseason tour is going great and leaving a wonderful image of MLS to the rest of the world. Well done, Inter Miami. #InterMiamiCF | #mls Inter Miami CF 📷:CNN and Joel Chan

I have not seen enough about the decision from Mike Vrabel and Tim Kelly to go for 2 down by 8 last night. Here’s why I loved it: 1) NFL teams this season have been successful on 55% of two-point conversion attempts. The odds were in the Titans’ favor. 2) Will Levis was dealing in the 2nd half. 3) Titans still had all three timeouts and the two-minute warning. 4) Miami struggled to move the ball on offense all night. Their three scoring drives went for 12, 7, and 59 yards. 5) If successful on the two-point conversion, a stop on defense and a TD wins the game. If unsuccessful, you can still send it to OT. 6) Titans offense marched down the field, scored the TD to make it a one possession game and essentially told Miami, “we are going for two because we know you cannot stop us right now.” The odds are in your favor. It’s a good mathematical decision. You want to psych out an opposing offense? Give them the ball knowing they need to run the clock out, or you are going to have a chance to WIN the game, not send it to overtime. They saw what your offense just did to their defense. They saw your QB on the sideline screaming and hyping everyone up. Cutting the lead to six put WAY more pressure on the Dolphins offense. You want to hype up your defense? Put them back on the field knowing your offense just did their job. Put them back on the field knowing a stop and a TD wins it. At that point, they aren’t in the mindset of “we need a stop to have a chance to go to OT.” They are thinking, “let’s go out here, get a stop, and give our offense a chance to WIN.” There’s a fundamental difference in playing to WIN and playing NOT to LOSE. This was a decision by a coaching staff that was playing to WIN. Brilliant game by Vrabel and Kelly. Brilliant execution late in the game by the offense and the defense. Completely out-coached one of the best offensive minds in the game. #Titans

HOW TO DODGE EVERY SKILLSHOT IN LEAGUE OF LEGENDS SO YOU GET ACCUSED OF SCRIPTING - Script in your mind - Draw out how far, wide, fast an ability is relative to your character thats all the easy stuff that I have been preaching already you can find in my free discord for improvement however one thing that League coaches fail to explain is the human aspect of it every game you play in League of Legends, every single person in the game is constantly building their profile in a game on how they operate both sides are constantly trying to mind f*ck each other to land and dodge skillshots. I have broken it down into layers the three layers to dodging are layer 0 - no dodge (unconscious) layer 1 - dodge (conscious) layer 2 - no dodge (conscious) Notice how in the clip in a challenger game below Olaf shoots a layer 0 skillshot, but because I am playing at a layer 1, I dodge his axe. Now the Thresh hook gets a little deeper bare with me, because I built the profile that I will dodge an ability in that moment, he thinks that I won't dodge and is shooting a hook at a layer 2 thinking that I will dodge at a layer 2 also. However I know that he knows I will likely not juke and walk straight so I make the conscious choice to dodge AGAIN playing at a layer 1 resulting in me dodging the hook, of course he could be accounting for my tumble but the point still stands. There are many deeper things to consider like zoning abilities, environment etc but you generally want to always play at a layer 1 until you gain more data in a game to adapt. However one thing that always stays true throughout my 13 years of playing League is in teamfights that have gone on for awhile, human beings tend to panic and default to layer 0 of shooting abilities, so if your able to operate at layer 1 as a teamfight progresses, you will likely dodge that one final skillshot that wins you the game. study the saskio way

Rashad McCants calls 🧢 on Lebron saying he could fit in on any team because hes NEVER been able to play without being the main guy and having everybody else adjust around him 🔥🔥 His whole career Lebron has only been able to play one way because he doesn't have a bag. He has always needed to be the system because of that in order to get his stats to make it seem like hes great when hes not A fraud who always needed 2 other all stars in order to win because of all the weaknesses in his game

A few years ago, I was at St. Sebastian’s covering a basketball game for the Herald. There were about 1,500 people crammed into the gymnasium, all excited to witness point guard Trevor Mullin eclipse 2,000 career points. Then, a freshman took the game over. He began things by posterizing three defenders at the rim. Later on, he pulled off this alley-oop, catching a pass from Mullin in the process. It was then that I turned to Trevor Hass from the Globe, and said: "I think this kid could play in the NBA one day." That freshman turned out to be AJ Dybantsa, and that day has arrived. He has officially been selected with the No. 1 overall pick in tonight's Draft by the Washington Wizards.

The confusion about whether former Eagles OC, Kevin Patullo, was fired or not isn't that confusing. They never used the word fired. In short, they care about him, value what he has done for the organization, and are allowing him to weigh his options and decide if he wants to come back in a different role. Philadelphia, & their entire front office, are a class org. They value people, respect them, and treat them right. They also know what he has meant to their 2 Super Bowls runs, despite not working out at OC. The players who praised him all season and after the wild-card loss do so with sincerity. It is not lip service or professionalism. They genuinely respect him. Almost every player was asked about him after their loss, nobody wavered in their praise for him. Nick has explained what they are doing, and the players have expressed their role in the season's struggles. Below is from right after the game.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio: "Like any country in the world, Ukraine wants their long-term security. They want to make sure that this [the war] doesn't happen and we all do. What is the point of spending all this time to get a ceasefire hopefully and then a negotiated end of the war only to see it re-spark up again in about six years, four years, three years? We're not interested in that and they certainly aren't either."

even so, I trust that any new watcher will be able to pick up what's going on. The people who made the OVAs shown from time and time again that they have faith in their viewers that they'll be able to understand the world building that culminated to this point. You can start the other shows prior to this, either before or after this OVA and it will still feel like a proper climax leading up to this. The story beats in this show are pretty good in the sense that anyone can understand it, it's not universally profound but it does a good job in highlighting perspectives of every side and have a glimpse at what happened that lead up to it.

There is a rule in Florence that has not been broken in over five hundred years: nothing in the city may be built taller than a dome finished in 1436. The dome belongs to the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and it is the work of Filippo Brunelleschi. When you look at a photograph of Florence and notice that its skyline seems strangely, impossibly intact, you are not imagining it... The city has protected that view, by custom and by law, since the Renaissance. To this day, no building in Florence is permitted to rise higher than the cupola. What it guards is one of the most astonishing structures ever built. When Brunelleschi began in 1420, no one in Europe knew how to raise a dome that wide. The technology had been lost with the Romans. The cathedral had stood for decades with a hole in its roof, because the span was considered impossible to cover, and the city had essentially gambled that someone would one day work out how. Brunelleschi built it without the wooden scaffolding everyone assumed was necessary, laying over four million bricks in a self-supporting double shell, one dome inside another, in a herringbone pattern that let each ring hold itself up as it rose. Six centuries later, it remains the largest masonry dome in the world. Nothing built since, in brick and stone, has surpassed it. The Italian director Franco Zeffirelli, who was born in Florence, once explained what that means to him. "When I feel depression creeping in," he said, "I return to Florence to gaze at Brunelleschi's dome. If human genius was able to achieve something so great, then I too can and must try to create, to act, to live." That is what a skyline can be when a city decides that beauty is worth protecting...
