Who is the GOAT

[Cascadia]

Then break it down for me. What's the difference between being the best all-around player and being the best player? If there are 100 categories in a game, and you're better at 75 of them, how is the other guy better at the game?

Let me break it down for you.

MJ is the GOAT and that isn’t changing anytime soon.

You’re welcome

Also, here is a translation of Magic’s comments.

“LeBron might be a better all-around player, but he’s a massive pussy and MJ would take his fucking lunch money”

Hey - None of us are perfect. My guess is everyone has done something inexcusable themselves and yet we tend to judge others before we judge ourselves.

How old was he when he impregnated a 13 year old?

19 or 20 I believe.

Yuck.

Okay I dont like Karl Malone anymore.

Good to see you're using reason to back your opinion. For a minute there I thought you were one of those guys who get defensive about the idea of someone being better than your childhood hero. Then when asked why you think he's untouchable reply with "HE JUST IS!" Glad that's not the case.

My feeling is you can still like him - but maybe have a little less respect for him?
I like him. I just don't respect him for some things he's done in his life.

While having sex (I believe it was consensual - but of course that doesn't make it right) with a 13 year old when you are in college is inexcusable, I also have a huge issue with him blowing off his kids.
I think he's garbage for that but it doesn't mean I can't still respect his skills and appreciate him for the fact that he's done some good things for society too.

You’ve proven time and again that you’re too fucking stupid to comprehend complex arguments.

I guess it's a good thing the question I asked is pretty simple and not very complex. But instead of answering that simple question, I suppose a personal insult works, lol.

One of his kids came out the other day saying he has always been a good father to him and has always been present in the rest of his kids' lives. Your posts are the only time I've seen he was some dead beat dad. I apologize if I have missed it and has been well known publicly, just never saw it, or obviously forgot. I knew he had more than a few kids, by more than a few women. Outside of that, I have no reason to not believe his son saying he has been a good father.

Don't know how "reliable" complex.com truly is but I'm providing this as one of many sources that I found just now by doing a Google search.

When Karl Malone was 17 years old he had twins, Daryl and Cheryl Ford. He didn't claim them until 1998 when the tabloid The Globe ran a story about a couple paternity lawsuits involving Malone back in his hometown of Summerfield, Louisiana. The other paternity suit involved Demetress Bell. Malone fathered Bell when he was a 20-year old college sophomore. Nothing wrong with that, right? Except for Bell's mother being 13 at the time. In both cases Malone fought tooth and nail to not have to pay child support—it didn't work.
He has since maintained a relationship with the Ford twins and made it out to Cheryl's games once in awhile when she played in the WNBA. But he told Bell, who plays in the NFL for the Eagles, after he graduated high school that it was "too late" for him to be his father. Jackass swag on infinity.

Yes sir, GOAT drafting 2nd GOAT.

I remind people of that on a rare occasion.
Michael's brother Larry used to come in the Peache's record store that I managed. He was shorter than I was.
Unlike me, he was pretty impressive athletically. We had a checkout counter that was probably between 3 and 3.5 feet high. I don't recall the reason why he felt the need to show me he could do it but one time when he was in the store he stood in front of the counter and then from a standing jump, leaped on top of the counter.

Good Wilt story

KU prof and Oscar-winner Kevin Wilmott's film "Jayhawkers" about Wilt is now free to stream for Prime members. This is the one starring Justin Wesley as Wilt.

POTD except that Justin Wesley fouled out before I could finish this post

[pdub]

I remember seeing it at Liberty Hall and any film about Wilt and KU is automatically going to be something i'm into but without the kool-aid, Jayhawkers is not very good.

They showed that here on KET (Kentucky Educational TV)
Pretty good.

I just saw it today. Really cool film. For all the anti slavery brag Lawrence was pretty racist! I thought the most poignant scene was the Langston Hughes poetry reading and the words in light of the recent happenings. We’ve come a long way from 1957 but still have ways to go (and the movie was from 5 years ago!). Explains a lot of Wilt’s feelings towards KU prior to 1998.

On a lighter note haven’t we all felt like Phog listening to the radio as we watch KU games? And we still don’t FT worth anything!!!!! How many more NC would we have if we had made even half of what we missed!
