the only good argument i've ever made him make in the last year was for kareem vs mj and he immediatley forgot how to make good arguments when chris responded to that. His lebron arguments are usually terrible. Was on the money with giannis in 2021 tho.


He's very good at narrative crafting though. First things First has some really strong storyteeling **** fwiw


I am gonna guess that because he is (or plays the character) of a lebron stan, he automatically is high and defends players similar to lebron

Usually people who are high on a player are also high in ones with strong similarities

that's fine, but shouldsnt he use more confident takes then? If he's tryna be lebron's skip then **** like whining "WHAT ABOUT JORDAN'S TURNOVER VS THE MAGIC" doesn't really cut it does it.

I would expect **** like "almost choked a 3-0 lead on a 72 win team, couldn't win more than 50 without a superteam" ect type arguments

Instead he tries to form complicated logic chains to justify nonsensical conclusions.

Funnily enough it seems like quite a few posters in the lebron thread could play a much better skip bayless heel as far as pro-lebron, anti jordan trolling goes. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously. I thino you find better trolling on this board lol

My man martinvaught would be out there destroying durant or harden "apologists" lmao

If i was paid to write anti jordan troll scripts i would start a gimmick of saying hakeem didnt need a superstat pippen to win and that jordan was lucky the real most talented player of the 84 draft didnt get as much help to win

It would be so bad faith but i wonder how everyone would react if someone "credible" ran with it

Edit: can you imagine hca losses arguments in first take?

"2nd year Hakeem smoked the defending champs and nearly beat bird's superteam by himself, prime Jordan barely squeezed by the cavs with mark price hurt!"
