    SAS you gotta let this Lebron thing go big bro. We all know n agree to Lebron always wanting to control the narrative but I can always hear the diff volume in your voice on the Lebron topics.

    I am pretty disappointed in his comments. You gotta win, that’s it. All athletes are paid to win. The you guys earn is enormous. You gotta win for validation.

    If you wanna say like this, you have to give up on your salary that average people can’t even earn for entire life. Come on….

    What makes Jordan so loved is that he brought 6 championships to the city of Chicago. Who else who played for any of the four major sports teams in Chicago can say that? Just like Kobe is so beloved in LA, because he brought the city of LA 5 championships. Players in the past cared about their city almost as much as their team, and took pride in that.
