Consider that brady has had a better career than lebron in his sport, that is way more popular than the nba, but isnt nearly as famous as lebron as an individual.
griffey seemed like the only onethat could approach capturing hearts and minds lile mj did when I was a kid. A guy that only plays 20 times ayear or so behind a facemask cant have that kind of impact to an american kid or something.
That 45 second sequence is so epic. Imagine being the most famous human on the planet, and then doing a quick drive to cut it to one. After that you strip the best power forward ever and then bury the game winner with your final shot in that uni to clinch your second personal three peat. No one will ever top that kind of career arc.
lol come on man who's to say if Manning went to San Diego and Leaf went to Indy that it's not Peyton who is the disastrous, drug addicted malcontent and Leaf winning Super Bowls and MVPs while being on track to own every significant passing record??
I could be forgetting some guys but I think Sloan is only clearly behind Jackson, Auerbach, Riley, amd Popps as far as NBA coaches go. I'd put him ahead of a LOT of guys that have won titles and pretty much on par with Larry Brown, Chuck Daly, etc.
SSR is just conflating us clowning the Knicks for not having much to offer Lebron in free agency in terms of talent already on the team with us saying they don't have the pieces to trade for Melo. I don't remember anyone saying that at all.
