Well you seem pretty dumb, so I thought it was important to clarify.

Oh, wow, you’re just a fucking idiot. Why didn’t you just say so?

You don’t sound rational at all. I was being facetious.

You seem like you’re able to talk rationally about this. Please - go on.

Correct. The idea that a speechwriter for Obama is currently a ‘star’ is insane. Not everyone follows politics like most commenters here. Saying he could be made a ‘star’ is quite a bit different than saying that being a star would be more important to him than being a speechwriter.

Trying to clown Simmons is just so fucking boring. It’s Deadspin at its absolute worst. Too easy, too predictable, and not really clever or funny in any way. Shit like this actually makes me like him more.

The homerism knows no bounds.

Boston fan, eh?

This is a historically bad burn.

Here is how I approach these things: which guy would I want for the entirety of his career. I think it makes it easier, at least in my mind.

It’s about the totality of Chuck’s comments about him, including him not being a competitor. Again, the ‘top 5' thing is Deadspin speculating about comments made months ago. Lebron was asked about his recent comments.

Butthurt? I’m not butthurt. I was asking you to clarify your first statement thinking you might actually have a point. You didn’t. You’re just a dumb person.

There is no one in the league, or that follows basketball professionally that believes Lebron is in the 10-15 range. That’s ludicrous.

You sound like a fucking idiot.

I can tell by the way you discuss this that you’re not able to talk about Lebron rationally, so not sure this conversation would be very productive.

Come again?

These are the types of takes people make when they haven’t watched a regular season game since Jordan’s retirement.

“I can hardly imagine Jordan reaming out Jerry Krause for not finding him another playmaker.”

Lebron is clearly better than Oscar, Bird, Duncan, Shaq, and Kobe, so even using your list, he’s clearly in the top five, and probably closer to top 2-3.
