Jordan and LBJ on the court are interchangeable. LBJ will have the stats where MJ has the rings. Where things differ for me is the little things that surround it or are off the court.
LBJ, KD, Steph, Kyrie, Kobe, etc all have shoe deals because of MJ. No one in the world could re-release the same exact shoe every year and people spend 300+ on em. There are football and baseball teams/players wearing a basketball logo on their shit. LBJ logo isn’t doing that.
The game is played the way it is today because of the flair and showman type of style MJ brought. Hell LBJ wears 23 because of Jordan (just like any kid that played ball from the 80s on). Every kid that can dunk with some athleticism tries to dunk from the FT line. Why? Jordan did.
LBJ is a top 3 player ever. Not the GOAT though.

My OU insider has never been wrong. Today at lunch he told me: "Georgia quarterback Justin Fields will announce a transfer to OU the day before the Orange Bowl. Rattler knows it. Receiver Jadon Haselwood will sign with OU too. #boomersooner #NewWave19 #OUfootball #Recruiting
(No embedding on phone, don’t know how)
19-10 after a dismantling of the Bulls tonight.
I’ve watched Russ play for day one and watched the roller coaster of emotions people have felt about the way he plays. Growing up around OKC, there were a ton of different opinions. He stayed true to his game and mentality for every. Until this year. He seems to be a different guy. He still has his games were he has 30-15-15. He still has his games where he goes 4-25. But this year he seems to have a different mindset. I think he sees what PG is doing and how he looks and doesn’t want to make some of the mistakes he made with KD. Ball movement has been astronomically better. PG is having a career year because of it. He looks like he’s trying to be a true point with bursts of what makes him who he is.
Playing good ball right now.
This probably means not shit, but i had a buddy (OU Fan) tell me the OU boards are saying the mystery visitor was Trejan Bridges (Hebron WR) and that he’s taken all the OU stuff off his twitter.
I just read an article on Harper.
Broke it down as this basically:
sign Harper for 10-350 leaving the Astros with roughly 35-40 mil left
sign Grandal/Ramos for 12-15
Trade Tucker package for ace (named Syndergaard)
Sign another lower level starter (named Lance Lynn)
lineup would be
Springer CF
Altuve 2nd
Bregman 3rd
Harper LF
Correa SS
Grandal/Ramos C
White DH
Yuli 1st
Reddick RF
With a rotation of
Verlander
Cole
Syndergaard
Lynn/ McHugh/ Morton/ James for last 2 spots
Burton and Diallo need Ferg and Abrines minutes. Those two (Ferg and AA) are suppose to be knock down shooters and help us 0. I’m thinking Presti should see what he could get for em.
As If you need more reason to hate OU fans, but I was told today by a sooner fan that the refs wanted Texas to win the October game and proved it by waiting until the 4th quarter to call penalties on us, right around the time our offense stopped working and OU scored 21 straight...
...fuck these people.
This kid is good. He’s played against the school i work for a few times over the last few years. His numbers are down this year from last because the guys he plays with aren’t as good (plus the starting QB has missed multiple games).
On the flipside, he’s a smaller back. He can’t be any bigger than 5’8-5’9. I would imagine TCU is planning on using him like they did Turpin. I don’t know if he’ll ever be an every down back because of his size.
