Patrick Mahomes has started 36 games in the NFL.
He’s won an MVP.
He’s quarterbacked a top 5 scoring offense in NFL history.
He’s lead the 4th greatest playoff comeback ever... in a quarter.
He’s lead the 2nd greatest comeback in Super Bowl history.
He’s won Super Bowl MVP.
LeBron is in Year 17, has played 3rd most mins in NBA history, coming off the only major injury of his career.
In the last 48 hours he’s thoroughly outplayed the reigning league MVP & reigning Finals MVP.
He’s still FAR & AWAY the best player in the league & the greatest ever.
John Elway endorsed a Supreme Court candidate on Broncos letterhead.
The owner of the Cardinals endorsed a Supreme Court candidate on their team website.
The Dolphins just told people how to vote on a specific ballot initiative.
But Kap brought politics to the NFL.
Last night in the win over Giannis & the Bucks, LeBron James became the 3rd player ever, and youngest, to score 34,000 points
He was also the youngest to...

Bills fans DO NOT blame Tyler Bass… deep down you KNOW even if he made it, Mahomes was just going to rip your heart out in even more excruciating fashion.
Helluva gesture and financial commitment.
Now, the Benson family, who OWNS THE DAMN TEAM, should release a statement saying the 19 year old employee doesn't need to do this b/c they are going to do it.
Can't believe the onus to pay stadium workers is falling on the players.
Zion Williamson just posted this message on his Instagram. He says he's covering the salaries for all Smoothie King Center workers for the next 30 days.
So, to be clear, as brilliant Jimmy Butler was this entire playoff run, carrying his team far past what their talent should allow, these playoffs actually *hurt* his legacy because he lost in the Finals, right?
Aren’t those the rules?
LeBron James:
Ended the Pistons.
Ended the Celtics.
Ended Big 3 in OKC.
Ended the pre-KD Warriors.
Ended the post-KD Warriors.
That’s 5 iterations of championship level teams over a SIXTEEN YEAR stretch just wrecked by one man.
The NBA did a multi week celebration in anticipation of Steph breaking the all time 3pt record.
LeBron is going to score more points in the NBA than anyone ever has later tonight & nobody has even noticed. Sad!
LeBron James hasn’t played his best basketball these Finals.
He’s only averaging...
28 points per game
11 rebounds per game
9 assists per game
On 53% from the field
He can be better.
In a league of load mgmt, superstars taking nights off, and guys who are supposed to have been taken over the league being totally unreliable…
LeBron & Steph just keep showing up for work & putting on a show.
Shoutout to two legends continuing to put the NBA on their backs.
LeBron James, who folks consistently say “isn’t a scorer” and “scoring isn’t what he does best” now has scored more points than anyone who’s ever played in the NBA.
And he did it in fewer games, fewer minutes, and on fewer shots than Kareem.
This has been Paul's stance ever since LeBron scored 10 straight, including 2 3s in his eye, to eliminate him in 2011, and then ended the Big 3 in Boston with his 45-15-5 masterpiece.
Paul been in his feelings ever since, and it clouds his otherwise intensely mediocre commentary
How absolutely horrifying. Watching Kobe totally embrace post-basketball life has been awesome. Getting to do all the things he didn’t get to do while he was playing. Getting so wrapped up in his daughter’s basketball. The films. All of it. This is just unspeakably awful.
The amount of criticism being levied at Mike McDaniel right now, whose team was 14 point dogs, on its 3rd string QB, and started the game down 17-0, is simply astounding to me.
The running game gave him 34 yards on 17 carries.
The top 3 WRs were out with injury.
He was on one leg.
He threw for 326, 2 touchdowns, a 105 ratings… and ran for the game winning first down.
He’s Patrick effing Mahomes and we’ve never seen anyone like him.
The fact that LeBron being an exuberant, involved & supportive father is being used as a cudgel against him is utter insanity and borderline infuriating.
LeBron is clearly being the father he wished he had and his son, along with his son's teammates, obviously love it.
QR Codes replacing paper menus as the default option at restaurants might be the single best example of a supposed technological advancement simply making things far, far worse & more complicated with literally no tangible benefit to the consumer whatsoever.
FOLKS TRYING TO FIND EXCUSES OR BLAME THE OFFICIALS… I’M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SAY THE EAGLES LOST BECAUSE PATRICK MAHOMES SCORED ON EVERY DRIVE OF THE SECOND HALF.
10 years ago on the day of Sandy Hook, I cried while I picked up my daughter from kindergarten, unable to explain to her what happened.
Today, I sit just defeated with my other daughter, who’s a 3rd grader, readying to have the same fucking conversation.
It’s all just so awful.
Steph, Klay & Draymond are 23-2 in playoff series when they’re all healthy… both losses are to LeBron James.
Steph, Klay & Draymond were 19-0 in the Western Conference playoffs… until they played LeBron James in the West.
Anointed at 16 as the next all time great.
18 All NBAs, 10 Finals, 4 Rings, 4 Finals MVPs… and still going.
No one has ever scored more… and people insist scoring isn’t what he does best.
The most hyped athlete ever… exceeded the hype.
The Greatest to Ever Do It. 👑 🐐
The Bucks overpaid to make sure they could get Jrue Holiday, the best defensive PG in the league, to make sure Giannis would be there long term.
On the biggest play the franchise has had in 50 years, Jrue ripped Booker & trusted Giannis.
What an iconic moment.
This week, one of America’s most famous athletes baselessly & flippantly implied a colleague of his was a sexual predator & the entirety of the discussion around it has been about company politics & policies… rather than the objective fact that Rodgers has gone off the deep end.
THEY SAID KC-MIA WOULD BE CLOSE… THEN KC BLEW THEM OUT & THEY BLAMED IT ON THE COLD.
THEY PICKED BUFFALO TO WIN… THEN SAID BUFFALO HAD NO CHANCE DUE TO INJURIES.
THEY ALL CALLED FOR AN EASY RAVENS WIN… WHAT WILL THEY SAY TOMORROW???
I don’t talk politics on here but this isn’t political, this is obvious: This is abhorrent, obviously racist, dangerous rhetoric and not calling it out makes you complicit.
The “send her back” chant + the “go back to where you came from” are so antithetical to what we should be.
Trump fans eventually break out in "send her back!" chants directed toward Ilhan Omar, a Somali refugee who serves in Congress who Trump viciously smeared.
I’m sure this will be dealt with in the media with same seriousness of
@obj
’s multiple criminal violations, such as wearing an expensive watch, wearing a multicolor visor, and wearing mismatched shoes.
Grown ass woman assaults & racially harasses a child. She then fights two cops, biting one so hard she breaks the skin.
Her sentence for these crimes... zero days in jail. Zero.
$1,000 fine, tho.
Steph learning what LeBron’s life was like in 2015 & 2018 Finals: Clearly be the best player on the court, play every minute, lead everyone in everything... find your team trailing anyways.
PATRICK MAHOMES, WHO IS THE GREATEST COME FROM BEHIND QUARTERBACK IN PLAYOFF HISTORY, AND LAST YEAR WON A SUPER BOWL ON ONE LEG, IS NOW UNEQUIVOCALLY THE GREATEST UNDERDOG IN SPORTS HISTORY.
10-1-1 ATS, 9-3 STRAIGHT UP AS AN UNDERDOG.
What a final 8 QBs we are going to have:
2 first year starters coming off *perfect* playoff games
2
#1
picks discarded by their original teams
2 MVP-caliber unicorns with their best chance yet to make a Super Bowl
1 GOAT-contender going for a back to back
And Brock Purdy
Aaron Rodgers taking a shot at Travis Kelce for doing Pfizer commercials when his checks are literally signed by THE HEIR TO THE JOHNSON & JOHNSON PHARMACEUTICAL FORTUNE is a bit rich even for me.
The Lakers are now 56-0 when leading after 3 quarters, the best in NBA history.
The 2018 Cavs were the 4th best team in NBA history when leading after 3, at 50-1.
Which means in LeBron’s last 2 full seasons his teams are an impossible 106-1 when leading after the 3rd quarter.
OF COURSE it was real money Odell was handing out. Who in the world thought it wasn’t?
Good for him, too. It’s his damn money & he can do with it whatever he pleases.
Excited for my media colleagues to give this roughly 1000x the coverage & scorn they gave Edelman’s arrest.
I think my favorite part of Iggy saying KD is the "greatest scorer ever", is he also said KD can score "30 points on 12 shots."
KD's literally never once scored 30+ on 12 or fewer shots.
LeBron's done it on 11 shots, tho...
The Lakers winning the game when Poole matches LeBron’s scoring and the Warriors hit FIFTEEN more 3s is not exactly a good sign for the defending champs.
Pats fans, I understand your pain on the Kelce fumble being whistled dead. It’s brutal.
But you know who can understand it even more? Jags fans. Who didn’t go to the Super Bowl 2 years ago after that exact blown call went in the Patriots favor in the AFC Championship Game.
Giannis has been in the public eye for nearly a decade, and been a super super star for 5 years.
This is his first even kind of bad moment. I’m gonna go ahead and give him more than the benefit of the doubt, if that’s OK.
So, since we all know the only losses that count against your legacy are Finals losses, I think we can safely say that when the Heat lose tonight Giannis had a far better postseason than Jimmy Butler.
(See how insane it sounds when applied to literally anyone else?)
"LeBron can't be the GOAT with that FT%, lackadaisical defense & lack of 'clutch' gene!"
LeBron goes 15-15 from the line, game saving block & game winning 3.
I just looked this up & check this out...
Luka Doncic & LeBron James just simultaneously became the youngest & oldest players in league history to put up a 30-10-15, and they did it in the same game.
Very cool.
LeBron James, in the playoffs and now also the regular season, has Michael Jordan beat in the following:
Points
Rebounds
Assists
Blocks
FG%
3FG%
TS%
Offensive Win Shares
Defensive Win Shares
BPM
VORP
When it's all said & done, this isn't even going to be a debate.
Game 1: BK up 5 with 4 minutes left
Game 2: Tie game with 8 minutes left
Game 3: 5 point game with 8 minutes left
Game 4: 1 point game with 90 seconds left
Boston won all 4.
If only the Nets had a closer.
Folks claiming the game was rigged remember the Chiefs having an *interception and a touchdown* wiped off the board due to bang-bang penalties, right???
Two of KC's biggest plays of the game were wiped away due to penalty.
Take your loss with some damn dignity.
I legit feel for KD… he had to be 2nd best to LeBron for a decade and the MOMENT he might’ve passed LeBron, Giannis passed him.
2nd player out of high school. 2nd pick in the draft. 2nd best player in the NBA for life. Legit awful luck.
Heat hadn’t won a playoff series in 4 years when LeBron got there.
Champions by Year 2.
The Cavs hadn’t even been at .500 for 4 years when LeBron came back.
Champions by Year 2.
The Lakers were in the midst of worst stretch in franchise history.
Champions by Year 2.
"LeBron James went to the Lakers, who had not played in a playoff game for 6 years, and by year 2, they were champions. This is what LeBron James does. ... That's what the greatest player of his era or any era does. And he just proved it once again." —
@getnickwright
LeBron was absolutely gassed and did not have it offensively AT ALL all night…
So, of course, he ends regulation with an impossible layup over the DPOY and then ices it in OT with an And-1 against the WWE villain who’d been talking shit.
You love to see it.
The leading cause of death in children in America for the first time ever… is firearms.
Not car accidents. Not pediatric cancer. Not any of the things we parents tend to think of as the worst case, most unimaginable scenario.
Nope. Just guns.
Tiger Woods, the greatest golfer the world has ever seen, has now completed one of the greatest comebacks the world has ever seen.
11 years, 3 back surgeries, and hundreds of mortifying headlines between Major championships, and he’s back on the top of the mountain.
