it's an OOOOLD phenomenon, too. i remember riggo and dorsett. DC dudes just be so pressed to say they guy better and they DON'T BE BETTER!!!

sonny wasn't better than roger and that was long over before i was born, but i STILL HEAR ABOUT IT!!!!

this the most L taking town ever with this player comparison stuff. i'm guilty, too. i be lookin at bryce v. trout like "NOOOOOPE....bryce younger and got more natural talent"...man, trout better, but damn if I ain't gonna cyse bryce over him if he hits for better average over their careers. so.

only thing that's close right now is wall/kyrie and we know that L coming. at least i'm on the other side of that, but it's a HUGE deal here. so glad murray got traded so some of the intensity got taken out of murray v. morris ("alfred would have 2000 yards behind that line")

i don't understand why this town so pressed. it's across racial lines, too. tell a white guy here that crosby still better...SMH...WWIII.

gotta get outta here. they crazy.

only for the Mets to go NOPE! We got four of those! And both Harvey and de Grom (if not also Syndegaard and Matz) BETTER.

Which, in a twist, would pour extra salt in Mets fan's crusty ass Pastrami-sandwich-eating wounds.

unless you guys plan on sucking for the next 3-5 years

Besides, Matt Harvey owns his soul.

history is what Mets fans would think about it?

good grief.

above the guy who got the highest percentage of Hall of Fame votes ever?

It was in response to a post that said a guy that has made 2 starts at the major league level might already be better than Stephen Strasburg.

or was that 2012?

I'll give you the other examples, but history hasn't been kind to Jason WIlliams. Or Jay Williams. Or whatever he calls himself.

Meanwhile Blake's had a better NBA career than Chris Wilcox OR Juan Dixon (or Jason Williams)

You hate, why for Ba? Blake, quiet as kept given the emotional impact Juan had on the team, was the lynchpin during those Gary Final Four years. He was underrated then and remains under appreciated locally even now.

dudes said blake was better IN COLLEGE!!! IN COLLEGE!!!! STOP
LYING!!!!

why would ANYONE compare them in the NBA when they weren't even in the L at the same time? only a crazy pressed bamma would do that.

Like when a female writer writes an article about internet commenter misogyny, and someone inevitably replies in the comments, "This isn't true, you dumb bitch."

He also sprinkled the "Harper >>> Every Met Ever" gem above, just in case one example wasn't enough. Pretty awesome.

their heads have just gotten so big with all the winning over the last 25 years.

...

but those Wizards/Cavaliers rivalry games back in the days were fun. From my somewhat foggy memory, I remember one of the Wizard players getting physical with LeBron. I'm certain it wasn't Arenas; I think it was some dude with Lincoln tattooed on his throat/neck area.

Try to tell 2002 Bryan that Peyton was the best QB in league? "You better get the fuck out my face" (c). I might also have cysed Howard over Pujols for a while too.

>Try to tell 2002 Bryan that Peyton was the best QB in league?

LeBron/Gil was nice for a little bit. Gil a bigger choker than LeBron was though in those playoff games.

Didn't know folks was comparing Demarco Murray and Alfred Morris...That's a wash to me.

>Didn't know folks was comparing Demarco Murray and Alfred
>Morris...That's a wash to me.

I'd like to ask any and all non-Cowboy/non-Redskin fans who they'd rather have. Something tells me 95-97% of the people would say Murray.

cause that era of the wizards were fun (HIBACHI!).

the rest are sad and silly

very curious to see how kessel fits in with the pens. a line with him and sid would be sick, maybe kunitz on LW to add a solid two-way guy to the mix. ovie should carry over from last year and this year he will have considerably better scorers around him between guys improving and new additions.

...for u to be from "da urrea" you know muhphukkin' well this would start some IMMEDIATE arguments amongst old heads who came up in the '80s and whose current occupation (i.e. hustle) includes landscaping or hangin' out in barbershops sellin' black soap still talkin' about how the refs ain't cheat Hagler because Ray beat him.

I'm an advocate for working smarter, not harder. If you just
focus on working hard you end up making someone else rich and
not having much to show for it. (c) mad

No one tells the tragic story of Len Bias WITHOUT a "he was better than Jordan" or even "he would've been better than Jordan was...."

Hard to picture what "better than Jordan" would've looked like but it's widely believed locally

It's to the point where I don't even consider Kyrie a rival to Wall, but just the King's shot happy sidekick.
