    Great news
    Soccer is coming back.
    Bundesliga first of Europe's major leagues to resume after play was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

    With France ending the 2019-20 season early and the Premier League and La Liga aiming for June restarts

    As far as I'm concerned that's a championship and we are now tied with Boston.

    You can have your opinions all you want. Lebron James can end up winning 6 titles, own every record known to man, he will never be better than Michael Jordan. And he will never be better than Kobe Bryant. Michael Jordan had an extra god given gear that no human ever had, ever, when it came to basketball. It's the only thing Kobe couldn't get no matter how much he trained. And that is the only reason Kobe is 2nd to Jordan. Lebron James is on his way to being the most accomplished NBA player of all time, but I watched Michael and Kobe in their primes, never, have i seen the mastery of basketball from every end, as good as through those two. Lebron is great but he has weaknesses in areas that diminished greatest ever. And they are all mental.

    Kobe and MJ may have come up short in parts of their career, but it was never do to mental midget issues. Lebron has had too many mental break downs, young and in his prime, for me to ever put him above those two.

    MJ quit on the game in his prime. No way he's the best basketball player ever. And I'm not saying that to be insensitive about him losing his dad. That was horrific. But he left basketball to play the game he truly loved the best and that was baseball. And he left right as the Houston Rockets ascended with the Dream, Drexler, Kenny Smith, et. al. If he had stayed during those two seasons and beaten them I might give it to him. But he NEVER faced competition like them in the Finals.

    Kobe didn't do that, Kareem didn't do that and Lebron didn't. They are going to all have 20 year careers barring injury for Lebron.

    Kareem still stands as my number one basketball player of all time. The NBA numbers, the stats, the years, the skyhook, and being the greatest college player too. I saw him play from a young age and he was the reason I got into basketball.

    If this had happened to the Clippers, they would have hung a banner by now!

    What do you mean by "extra gear"?

    The only things MJ had over Kobe were:

    Bigger hands
    Worse competition
    Scottie Pippin
    A championship quality squad surrounding him in his prime years rather than Smush Parker and Kwame Brown.
