What was my argument exactly?

doesn't make a championship is lwed.

Yeah! FUCK this guy for making a shit ton of money and being the best player in his sport, which is wildly popular. What a prick!

LOL, you believe in heaven

Players like Scottie Pippen, BJ Armstrong and Tony Kukoc were all consistently great

the idea of Kobe ever taking Cleveland to a finals alongside Anderson Varejao and Delonte West is laughable. Same for Jordan.

There aren't any numbers that point to LeBron as the greatest player of all time. Want to know why? Because such a statistic doesn't exist.

there's no way on earth Jordan or Bryant would have taken that Cleveland team to a finals series or even past the first round of the playoffs. Lebron is the best all around player the league has ever seen and he's already evolved more than either one of them to become the best player ever in 11 seasons.

Listen, Dan, I understand you're excited about the new signing, but I'm not going to get into this with you. You're clearly a bit biased on the subject.

To your other point, though, they are arguably the two greatest students of the game that the league has ever seen. It's an incredibly difficult, intangible thing to try and measure, but based on how the both of them started their careers as freaksihly gifted athletes with above average basketball skill and gradually…

I wasn't trying to make a point to you specifically, just a general statement, and I arbitrarily chose to reply to you. My b, man.

Kobe is Michael minus the hands. Phil said it himself, Michael had hands that allowed him to do things Kobe could never dream of doing.

That's two zingers in a row. Keep 'em coming, I'm having a slow day at work

If it's any comfort to you, I don't use the word in my day-to-day speech. Primarily because I don't want to come off as a giant weirdo in my professional and personal lives (ok, I'll use it occasionally with friends and loved ones). But give me the anonymity of a Deadspin comment thread, and I let it fly!

Oh. Well, in that case I'll make sure to strike it from my lexicon. Effective immediately.

Ohh but it's so yummyyyyyyy to say the word yummy. Try it with me, now: Yummmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyy
