It's the reason Karl Malone is looked at as a lesser player than Tim Duncan. It's the reason LeBron jumped ship and went to Miami. It's certainly the reason Durant ran to the sure thing in Golden State. If only Barkley and Ewing would have been smart enough to team up with the Bulls instead of trying to beat them. All in all, it's weak. I also found it uncomfortable the way KD's mom was talking to him post game... "You did it baby!... It don't matter what they say!" Dude's just sobbing away while she's talking to him.
Excellent point re: the Mailman. He somehow isn't on the list of the top 10, or even top 100 because, you know, no rings! So clearly, he was not a great, or even a good player according to Lord of the Rings logic. Dude was an absolute beast at both ends of the floor, #2 all time scoring...
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
