Man, this almost baited me until I realized it was 12 years old. LeBron has definitely been a first ballot HoFer for a while. Probably ever since the 08-09 season when, by that point, he'd finished top 10 in MVP voting 6 times, 5 All-star selections, 5 All-NBA selections, 3 All-NBA first teams, an MVP, an All-Defensive first team selection, a scoring title, and 4 deep playoff runs. By the time he won his second MVP in 09-10, you can just forget it, every 2x MVP is a first ballot hall of famer.
Barry Bonds is so much better then the second best in his sport. The distance is the greatest in sports history in this country and soccer as well. *Idk about cricket, darts, rowing crew, high jump, or pool. There's others but I have a grasp on most popular sports. LeBron has MJ where the distance is probably the closest it gets. You then have Nicholas and Tiger probably the second closest distance. I guess Bonds has Ruth but I think if we had a time machine for all these guys Tiger would overtake Nicholas something he couldn't do against his health and a much more talented field which transpires sports. Evolution is never more glaring then in sports it's part of the reason I think LeBrons better then MJ. It really is a testament to Wayne Gretsky still holding onto that belt in hockey also Pele in Soccer and Ali still in Boxing but the distance isn't as far away as the distance between Barry and whoever you got at second best, it may not be as close as the NBA debate but it's not glaringly far away for those three. You have to factor in so many things because this is a loaded premise but I stand by it and I will save it in my notes for the next time someone says Barry wasn't the best. Tom Brady's line has a distance but it's not as big as it seems. Look at what Brees did to the record books with Peyton also what Joe and Terry did with the rings and now what Mahomes is doing now. Consider he had the best coach in every game he played in as a pro and awesome defense in the beginning and a goat mentality with some arm talent as well. If only Kraft wasn't so cheap and a good GM drafted the players every year while belichick just stuck to coaching. They would of won even more and maybe the distance would be farther for tb12. A time machine would only help Bonds more then the rest of them as well cause if babe Ruth is who your calling second best and we just put em side by side.... Let's just say it would be embarrassing for one of them. Time machine might not be so nice to Wayne Gretsky or Pele either but we don't have one. On the subject woman's tennis has woman who are actually kind of close to Serina Williams but again a time machine would make that distance even greater. For this argument men's tennis is where it's at because I got to watch all three of the Goats all just take away from each other being truly the diamond era of tennis, talk about a small ass distance between first and third. That's one that's not even really clear like the NBA one. To me if it's not LeBron, MJ, and Kareem in some order I don't respect your basketball opinions in this comparison I think that Nadal would be Kareem cause for most people he is prolly number 3 on most everyone's list. I think if the joker wins one more somehow maybe he separates a little bit more. Also the distance between Usain Bolt and the guy right behind him is like the NBA. Usain Bolt racing against whoever is reading this that isn't a track star is the distance between Barry and second best.
I miss these guys... Stephen a stole skips show and is full of himself. All his takes are race based and how he reports sports. propts up a black man in america tells great stories million excuses and throws shade at any white person coaches players he has every reason to make it sound bland or given opportunities they don't deserve. Example Darvin ham hype him right up, he was a power dunker all athleticism no thinking the game, but jj Reddick he's just given a chance cus he's white and friends with lebron lol anyone who knows basketball can listen to jj and pick up he is very intelligent and under the right circumstances would be a good coach.
if the 2008 & 2012 teams were so superior how come they only beat spain by 7 and 11 points?? These superior athletes were given problems by 2 slow white guys in the gasol brothers. Why didnt they beat spain by 50 with their superior athletes then???
4:12 "he slapped my mom..." that would break ANY black man.. you watch your mom get slapped by a stranger, plus you cant do ANYTHING about it because of the laws 💯💯 PLUS, he probably felt GUILT because he probably told himself that if he didn't do that... she wouldnt had been slapped 💯💯 damn that was tough to listen to, man 💯💯😔😔
@@damiantavares3291 And most of them are not even BOX OFFICE!!! Do most of those guys get fans to walk through those turnstiles, most of them barely play all games
3:40 Skip literally tripping over his words when he tried to say “in his fourth year in the nba finals” cause even he knows deep down killing a 4th year player for losing in the nba finals is ridiculous 😂
While it was a good segment, most of the major points of arguement were never understood from both sides. Jalen has a point but was never addressed by SA and Skip. Skip had a point but it went rigth over Jalen. SA had a point but no one ever acknowledged the logic. There was not a real discussion or debate. More like a scramble of making statements.
I really don't know why this was in my feed. I remember watching it the time it aired. This was the the beginning of the end for the gasbag media and player empowerment. I remember 100% agreeing with Jalen. And I am shocked that SAS and Skip are still relevant
Rangers lost to the Cards because Ron Washington wanted to use Darren Oliver for some reason. They lost to the Giants because they were better than anyone realized, even themselves.
