Lol Jimmy Butler talked so much shit after Game 4, tonight he was nowhere to be found. If you're going to talk you better back it up. Herro was the Heat's go to guy in the clutch, Jimmy for whatever reason keeps passing up shots, dude wanted no part of the ball. Can't wait to see him talk tough after tonight.Mamba Mentality

COVID.
Guys, this no fan atmosphere is not appealing. Yeah, we're watching, but the hardcore fan is not the demographic they're worried about. Have you guys not noticed that the casual fan is barely aware sports are ongoing? Like, NOBODY gave a rats ass when the Jays made the "playoffs" for the first time since 2016 with a surprising young team. In normal years you'd be hearing about it everywhere. Here in Calgary, nobody gave a rats behind about the Flames being in the playoffs, when normally its around the water cooler, in the streets, texting with friends. No buzz.
Its a) covid atmosphere (crappy bubble, time of year etc), and b) covid/BLM/tense life we live now. Sports seems so meagre and inconsequential. They've been pushed back to page 9.
But either way they both tie back to the same root. Covid is reeeeallly hurting professional sports.
Sidenote - this Lakers team plays with zero joy. Like none. I'm not sure they even like basketball.
And to your point - I've talked to several very casual basketball fan friends who didn't know the NBA was even on. Everybody's lives are upside down."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

This whole "would LeBron be the GOAT with a title this year" talk is absurd. People have really lost their mind. And Isiah Thomas is still salty as fuck. LeBron is gonna win his 4th this year. Jordan has won SIX. He's 6-0. He's never lost one lol. LeBron is 4-6. Like, what are we doing here? what is the argument for LeBron? you're never gonna win that argument. Stats? yeah LeBron pretty much has all the stats. I mean, this is his 17th year in the league lol. Jordan only played 13 years in Chicago - really 11 if you think about it. He only played 7 games in his second year because of an injury. And he only played 17 games in his comeback year in 95.
Also, compare to MJ's era it's waaaay easier to score now. The fact that that he's still up in most offensive category tells you everything.
You want to talk about defense? MJ has a DPOY in his resume; LeBron has none.
Popularity? it's not close. Moments? Jordan has 1000x of them.
So what is the argument for LeBron?Mamba Mentality
