It is not only how dominant LBJ is but the fact that the NBA lends itself to being hijacked by one player. There simply is too many teams and not enough talent in a sport that lends itself to being facilitated by star power more than anything. Hence why Lebron holds all of the cards.

If they do that then they won't only win a WS but also a Noble Prize. The hubris of it all is just astounding. To think that with a certain algorithm…

When has he actually won anything?

I love my Cubs management. The reason being is that they will embrace new ideas but will also understand that there is no algorithm that predicts human interaction. If there was, then life means nothing. Might as well be robots. Billy Beane is in love with himself, and thinks that he is on the cutting edge of…
