    A League of Their Own is a great movie, was pleasantly surprised to see that as the pick.

    I meant more in this movie. His character was great. He was on Conan's podcast a year ago and was way funnier than I ever thought he was.

    Bills LeBron hate seems directly proportional to how strong LeBrons case is as the goat

    He's lost his mind post lakers title

    I think it’s more that he’s he’s on the Lakers and he hates the Lakers. He bagged on Kobe too. He moved Lebron ahead of Russell in his rankings so I doubt it’s that. If he felt Lebron was better than Jordan he’d move him I think.

    Majority still consider Jordan and I don’t see him passing him. Nothing wrong with being two.

    his mom remarried rich and he was driving a Porsche in high school, I’d say that’s probably more responsible for him being an awful person

    The difference between Jordan and Lebron is it isn't LeBron's fault he doesn't have a dad

    I’m sure I just wanted to attack his upbringing like for like.

    Imagine having your head so far up your ass to not realize the extremely low odds of someone in Lebrons childhood situation making it to where he did. As opposed to, as discussed here, Bill becoming wealthy.

    Im definitely team Bill with Lebron. Absolutely amazing player and easily the second best of all time, and that is not a slight at all.

    At the same time he is so fucking annoying with everything he does off the court and is so easy to hate.

    You’re right that in context it isn’t as disrespectful but the flippancy of which he felt comfortable saying it is a problem, part of transitioning from “rich fan blogging” to “actual voting member of NBA media” means leaving comments like that behind
