I wonder what part of that 64% are kobtards who notoriously dont like LeBron or maybe those who think Kareem is the GOAT. I see a lot of the younger generation who have never seen jordan play who think hes the GOAT out of hatred for LeBron or just because they are in awe of Jordans status as a cultural icon. In the end it wont matter, I'm glad you understand the trend. An MVP trophy and a couple of rings later we will have enough to bury your "goat" in the history books where he belongs. Who do you think is going to run this world in the future? Thats right the dreaded younger generation and trust me, LeBum will reign supreme. Its the cycle of life, so he should be alarmed. You and your goat are outdated. Theres a new GOAT in town and his name is GOAT James.
Nobody hates your LeNomad. They just know he's the faux GOAT mimicking and copying MJ both on and off the court and are appalled by that

If LeNomad was deserving of the title there wouldn't be need for the younger generation to take over. It's not even about ageism. When Tom Brady surpassed Joe Montana in the GOAT conversation nobody waited for no younger generation to give him his title.

MJ did two 3peats! Why do you think he was crowned the GOAT. Do you know how difficult that is to do in any level of Sports?

A while ago many will not even entertain the thought. And then a few brave souls dared utter the words. Slowly the gospel began to spread like a wild fire. What started as a minority is now very close to 40% . Now hes consensus number 2 and hes not even done. What do you think is going to happen by the time he retires? Like I said, our victory is inevitable. Your man had a good run, now its time he takes a backseat to the real GOAT.
Actually you should be worried LeNomad is way behind the curve. In the NFL for instance most people already consider Tom Brady the unanimous GOAT. In football it's Messi and Ronaldo. And they are still active

Recency bias isn't even enough to rank him over MJ as we speak

The fact that even in a mostly Generation Z dominated internet an almost 2/3rd majority still consider MJ the GOAT is remarkable. Especially considering that the number flies to over 70% among his basketball peers.

By the time Kawhi and PG deliver a crushing blow to your guy come playoffs this whole charade will be extinguished

9-27 from the field, even though he shoots from inches away from the basket
What's your point? Your MCM was 5-15 the other day and he only attempted 2 3's. Try again

Ahhh but Giannis really bricking everything this 4th quarter. Lmaoooo missed all 9 shots! This is Westbrook level of bricko mode

Melo still looks nice man. Can't believe he was out of the league that long.
SportsRe: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:25am On Nov 22, 2019
Giannis dropping 22-15-15. We're really taking this ninja for granted with the way he's dragging that Bucks team to a 12-3 record without his second best player

He's tired of the Doncic and LeNomad hype.

A good chunk of the 64% are just flat out haters. Nothing more.
They are haters because they are actually right? You need to pass the Igbo you're smoking to the left hand side bro

Don’t be alarmed, the bulk of the 36% represent the younger generation who for the most part have to rely on YouTube and other sources to watch the GOAT.
If anything, this is a testament of the GOAT’s dominance considering he still beats everyone in that conversation despite retiring 16 years ago, which ironically is the number of years LeBum has been playing in the league.
Lol you make a good point. Still too close to 50% for comfort

It's still a remarkable feat to have as many as 64% especially in this new social media age and with fewer people who saw the GOAT play active on social media

Mehhh. Two decades since the GOAT really retired and 2/3rd still consider him the GOAT. Could be better but a lot of other oldies in different fields have it worse

Wild that even the Nets have a winning record since Kyrie went out. Something is definitely wrong somewhere

Vettel is involved in far too many crashes for my liking, and I think his time is up. Sack him!

See how many he's involved in here.

Please note that I'm just stating my opinion which Ferrari would never hear not to talk of act on it as they've never listened to me in the past!
Max?? Did people talk when Hamilton ran into Albon and ruined his race? I don't like double standards. What is good for the Jews should be good for Uganda

I don't agree with that! Leclerc actually did very well indeed! He would have been 3rd overall behind the two mercs if not for Vettel's red mist moment.
Your opinion. If I recall correctly Vettel was actually past Leclerc in that accident and if we're being objective that accident was not entirely Seb's fault either

MrBrownJay1:
bro come on...it doesnt worlk like that. you fully well know who the Vettel haters are on this thread (its been years we are against the Vet), and every time he is going to fukc up, we will rejoice about it.... just like you rejoice and celebrate each and every single time Alonso (or any other driver you dont particularly like) was fukcing up.
Exactly which is why I expect people to own the hate instead of trying to be faux objective with their analysis. Nothing wrong with a little schadenfreude
SportsRe: FORMULA ONE F1 Official SeasonThread - Revamped by A40(m): 6:08pm On Nov 20, 2019
MrBrownJay1:
i certainly dont think he should be fired, far from it.... but you have to admit that Ferrari/Vettel this year are quite a "joke".
They have been a massive disappointment this year no doubt about it. We have Vettel who has driven poorly quite often, a Ferrari team that shoots itself on the foot and a Leclerc who shines in qualifying but flatters to deceive on race day. Enough blame to go round

No they are not, though Vettel has form for colliding with his teammates.

MrBrownJay1:
every time there has been teammate crashes, we have talked about it extensively here on this thread.... the fact that you would expect us to "suddenly" be quiet about it, just because its Ferrari/Vettel is really funny.

when Ricciardo and Verstappen crashed last year, you had no problem with it.... same with Magnussen and Grosjean this year...or better yet, when Hamilton crashed with Rosberg a few yrs back, we all talked about it, and there was no issues whatsoever..... but suddenly you have a problem with us talking about it now because its AGAIN Vettel crashing into his teammate?! these are the juicy bits of Formula one.... lol!

btw...same as always, it is Vettel crashing into his teammate once again.....

Nobody said don't talk about it. You don't need to lie unprovoked

However I am seeing people here call for his firing but they never display the same energy when it involves other drivers.

All those points, all those beautiful red prancing horses, all the hard work of every team member, all the money?

I bet if those horses were your's you'd call him a priq.
Simple question. Are they the first set of teammates that will collide in F1 history?
SportsRe: FORMULA ONE F1 Official SeasonThread - Revamped by A40(m): 7:56pm On Nov 19, 2019
Are Vettel and Leclerc the first teammates to crash? The Vettel hate is really mental!

If only the Mavs had someone like Giannis instead of Kristaps, we would be talking about them being a Top 3 favourite for the Title.
I want to believe Kristaps is still rounding into form and give him the benefit of doubt. Maybe my expectations were too high ab initio. I just feel Luka is carrying too much load right now and certain players (Hardaway Jr, Steph's bro etc) are underperforming badly thus far

I was of the opinion that Gomez was at fault initially and Sterling should not have been sent home, but having seen this I think sending him home is notenough. He should have been fined or something. How petty of Sterling, fighting like a girl scratching someone's face...
He runs like he's holding a handbag. Zero surprises there lol

I agree, I think everyone worries about it. The hit he took during the last play before he was subbed on Sunday buttresses that point. I would say he is more elusive than RG3 and a better passer and as he matures I hope he picks his battle.
One thing I would say though is that no one should turn him into a pocket passer because he would regress tremendously. Next season would be interesting because DC would have enough tapes to game plan for him, how he adapts to the changes would determine his long term success.
Better passer ke? RG 3 had like 25 TDs and 2 picks his rookie season with the highest ever QB rating for a rook.

Lamar is electric no doubt but RG3's rookie season was spectacular. He might not have been as elusive a runner but he was just as quick and a much better passer than Lamar Jackson is even now. I honestly don't know how he regressed so terribly unlike Lamar who has done the exact opposite

Luka Doncic is averaging 29-11-9. How is this even possible?? No sophomore slump?

And the Mavs would have an even better record if Kristaps wasn't looking like a scam thus far and the rest of the roster was flotsam

I just need him to remain hungry and not allow the noise from outside overwhelm him. If he remains humble and hungry, man!!!! He would be one for Canton..
He should. My worry for him is not getting hurt with his playing style. RG3 is a good example.
