LeBron would have been just fine.
Better question is how would those old players feel about Kawai barely playing but being compared to Jordan?
RIGHT!
Good Morning guys!
Like a funeral in here this morning
Disappointing display by him and Ingram.
Kyrie is officially a top 5 human in the NBA. (Pretty sure he is not a billionaire, though, as this article weirdly claims.)

ST. LOUIS — When she officially launched her campaign for a third term, U.S. Rep. Cori Bush (D-Missouri) called on her supporters to help her define the donors lining up to oust her from Congress.
"It's called AIPAC," Bush told the crowd in a January campaign event. "I need y'all to make it clear that they're trying to buy this seat."
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and its affiliated political action committees have made a concerted effort to bankroll moderate Democrats in contests against incumbent progressive members who criticize and oppose efforts to send American military aid to Israel during its ongoing war with Hamas.
The funding boost has given Wesley Bell, the St. Louis County Prosecutor, a sizeable cash advantage over the two-term incumbent. The most recent campaign filings with the FEC show Bell's campaign has more than twice as much cash on hand ($1,142,508.22) as Bush does ($528,622.20). ...
In addition to progressive groups like 'The Squad Victory Fund,' and 'Progressive Voices for Peace,' Bush also has an unlikely billionaire backing her campaign.
NBA star Kyrie Irving donated to Bush's campaign committee, according to documents filed with the FEC. The address Irving used to make the donation traces back to a oceanside high rise condo in Miami. The Bush campaign confirmed the donation did come from the Mavericks point guard.
It's unclear what drew Irving to invest in Bush's campaign. The controversial athlete has no recorded political donations to any other candidates or elected officials and has no known ties to the local area.
Irving was suspended by the Brooklyn Nets in 2022 for his involvement with an antisemitic film and then his "failure to disavow antisemitism" when given the chance.
Bush has highlighted a number of progressive Jewish voters in her camp to defend herself from accusations of antisemitism.
"You heard the Progressive Jews of St. Louis up here. They understand my Congresswoman is not anti semitic," Bush said in January.
"This is not about antisemitism, not about whether I hate Jewish people or not, because I absolutely don't," she said. "What it is about is white supremacy. It is about one group being greater than another group."
Which deep-pocketed donors are backing Wesley Bell, Cori Bush in their rival bids for Congress
Big money from some big names is pouring into campaign coffers as Wesley Bell and Cori Bush prepare for the final 100 day stretch in a contentious primary.

It doesn't bother them, just like when Luka, Jimmy Butler, SGA, or Ant Edwards gets compared to him now. They don't view those guys as legitimately better than him or threats to his overall legacy but gladly use their names (as long as they are having success) to keep the brand, 21 years in retirement, relevant. Ant Edwards is a #3 seed so it's cool to clout chase him today, Jimmy Butler had a down year and is hurt so no MJ comparisons this year you notice
. Jordan fans knew when LeBron was in high school he would have a bigger career arch than him so it's different. His arrival to the NBA was a bigger story and league draw than Michael Jordan's final season and retirement in 2003. ESPN and Sports Illustrated were giving him waaaaaaaay more coverage than Washed Wizards Jordan. The jealousy and envy and fear of losing ground with the basketball public started there.
Miami Heat fandom in 2024...
Again, Erik Spoelstra is a white passing Filipino, so he's judged differently than a melenated Black American.

And you should include the rest
Tonight is the night everyone finally agrees Jokic is better than Kobe. How many 30 point trip dubs did Kobe put up in Crypto in the playoffs? Jokic is gonna get that on Anthony Davis, arguably the best defensive big in the game. Back to back years over the GOAT and chips elevates him into top 5 status with Bron, Wilt, and gang, @M.H.C. .
You love to see it, but it’s only 1 gameLike a funeral in here this morning

Plus ain't there only one Celtics fan on here?
Yea but there's a few heat haters
@LordSinister the word is, if Darvin isn't fired directly after the season, Anthony Davis is going to ask for a trade publicly again. AD & LeBron are both Klutch athletes, Bron can and will opt out, and DLo will not resign if Ham is retained. Kobe stans just may get their wish at a restart, just without the team's top 3 scorers and few draft picks. They foolishly believe Anthony Davis will play for the Lakers without Bron, when all indications are he has no interest whatsoever. 
Name one fagget.
The first Black American NBA player was drafted into the NBA on this day. Shout out to Chuck Cooper, the pioneer. Now white America wants to replace us with their Euro cousins and immigrants from Africa.
@Costanza & @therealjondoe have posted that guy's account here before. Unfortunately, Elon is trying to get rid of "engagement farmers" who just troll nonstop for a Twitter check, so some of them Kobe and Mike dickeat accounts are getting packed up.
Where ? Shanghai?
The front office wants their superstar to STFU.
