Was listening to a Bill Simmons podcast and he talked about how Bill Russell will never work with ESPN because he hates ESPN.
Anyone know why?

I'm sure his reasoning isn't any different from the rest of ours :confusedshrug:
Because of their overrating of players of today's generation and skipping them over past greats like they're yesterday's trash.
People keep saying Lebron vs. MJ. Shit, Lebron hasn't even passed Hakeem, Shaq, Duncan, Kobe, Kareem, Wilt, Magic, Bird yet. They bumped him up to God status while by passing all the past greats.
The guy is senile as fck.
Probably doesnt know what ESPN even is.
Probably because he's mad that they label Michael Jordan the G.O.A.T. even though he has 11 rings.

MJ/Kareem/Russell/Bird/Magic are the Mt. Rushmore of the NBA.
Lebron will never be on that echelon.

How do you know? We gon' act like LeBron's career is over? :confusedshrug:
Larry Bird/Magic is on the NBA Mt.Rushmore but Kobe isn't?
Explain yourself.
When it's all said and done,
Bryant will be at least a 5x NBA Champ..
Top 2 GUARD of all time.
2nd all time scorer in history.

Lebron JOINED a super team in the prime of his career. No player in the history of the NBA has ever done that. I repeat, no player in the history of the NBA has done that.
He kissed his legacy goodbye in 2010. :confusedshrug:

Ok..? Can you explain why LeBron had to score [b]more[/b] points than Kobe has EVER scored in his 5x post-season run to win the championship? I guess that means Kobe's teams were the Avengers. :confusedshrug:
No he is not Kobe is overrated.
But anyways Lebron will be a part of that Mount Rushmore. Also Shaq is a part of it along with Duncan.

That's... Pretty questionable. To many, he's only the 3rd greatest Laker of all-time. His torn Achilles isn't helping at all.

He probably wants nothing to do with retards like this guy^^:lol
Claiming LePiggybacker is better than any of the top10 is fu*king disgraceful, even bronzey himself claimed "this gon be easy". Ie easy way out for a no heart quitter. That attitude should not be getting praised.:facepalm

Well youre certainly right that lebron, shaq, and duncan along with the other guys mentioned are superior to kobe by a substantial margin. and while shaq and duncan may be every bit as good as russell, jordan, kareem, magic, and bird, i think from a perception standpoint, those five really are considered to be the 'mount rushmore' of basketball royalty. if lebron continues to have a significant period of team success, because of how popular he already is, he does have a chance to join that group by the time his career is over.
but kobe is def on the mount rushmore of post-jordan 1-on-5 streetball chuckers, along with iverson, t-mac, carter, carmelo, and westbrook .

Pretty much this.
ESPN has caused the birth of kobetards worldwide. A great abomination in the history of sports and mankind.

Saltyyyyyyy
Then :oldlol: @ your follow up post
Unbiased basketball fans know Lebron is going to clearly pass Kobe barring injury. The whole "b-b-b-but he went to a great team" argument is for clowns who don't realize every player in the top 10 had great teams around them. And fools who just hate Lebron because their insecure about Kobe's legacy. I'm not going to argue Kobe vs Lebron because god knows nobody wants to hear it, but the fact that you're 16 years old is really showing right now. Like I said anyone who is objective about basketball and doesn't consider their opinion to be fact can see Lebron is on his way to being top 5. Kobe is 7 at absolute best. U mad?
Leave Lebron alone!!!!!!!!!!! :(
