In the 2013 NBA Finals, the San Antonio Spurs had the championship slip right through their fingers. The following season, the Spurs set out to avenge that loss and right a wrong that would have broken any other team. That pursuit resulted in the best basketball ever played.

When they came for Magic and Larry, I did not speak out - because I was not an 80’s stan. When they came for Jordan, I did not speak out - because I was not a 90’s stan. Then they came for Tim Duncan - and there was no one left to speak for him.

It took arguably the greatest basketball player ever 20 years of consistency and durability, combined with the 5th highest scoring average EVER to pass Kareem. 1- That speaks to how high Kareem set the bar 2- LeBron’s still going. (!) That mf is going to stand for a long time

Since he was 16 years old, LeBron James has shouldered grander expectations than any other athlete in a lifetime. He has surpassed them all. Today, I make the case that LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time.

When Kevin Durant joined the Warriors, he made them invincible. We hated them for it. They might not have been popular, but the 2017 Warriors could not be beaten. And that makes them the greatest team of all time.
