      @Grant the GOAT I’d say the second best behind Wilt imo.

      Fusionn Wilt is a legend but I’d take Kareem cause of how he changed the game with his sky hook shot

      The Ultimate I disagree with that but I respect taking Wilt over Kareem that’s not a crazy thing to say however Wilt is not the GOAT its MJ

    Only voices that are liberal democrats will be heard. If a athlete is prolife, antigay and a republican they don’t count.

    Where is the NBA’s outcry against China? Bend the knee. Bow down to your new savior. Pathetic.

    I believe him. He is right. But these youthful ignorant are not. I agree if you do not fit a narrative or agenda none of these strong words matter. Your literially saying make America great again. This is insane.
