...folks who have no room for nuance and sports radio.....

It's one thing to say that player A) is not in the class of Magic, Bird, Russell, Cap and MJ because he never won a championship. I agree with that....

It's quite another to start a ring pissing contest.....

Jordan has less rings than Russell and yet people universally pick him over Mr. Bill....And that's because of context.....

It's all about context. Who were you playing with during your Chip run? What odds did you have to beat? Were you an important part of the team? Were u dominant during your Chip runs?

So even as a Bulls fan who has no use for the Cavs I begrudgingly can say that I view James better than Bird and Magic...

Context...Nuance....

Now as a crazy ass sports fan this back and forth is fun as shit...

But in the real world.....
