With the news that Bron has passed Kareem for minutes played, it got me thinking about the mileage some of these greats have compared to this generation.

Kareem played all 82 games 5 seasons in his career, 18 of those 20 seasons never missed more than 10 games, (on top of 4 years of college).

Bron has only played 82 games one season in his 21 year career. Still, he’s racking up pretty much every accumulation record which will be his main legacy, but falls short of Kareem when it comes to rings, scoring titles, and defense awards.

Same can be said of Mike; played 82 games 9 separate times over his career, only played under 78 games three seasons out of the 15, and his resume is just far deeper than Bron’s.

Playing fewer 82 game seasons has helped to prolong Bron’s career, but has it also diminished his legacy when compared to guys like Mike and Kareem who played fewer years but accomplished more?

Anyone who grew up watching Manu knows what I’m talking about. The guy was a baller. Arguably the greatest sixth man in NBA history. But this is probably where the biggest departure is from Lillard; Manu didn’t have the same green light.

Dame averages 25 6 playing 36 min a night. Manu 13 4 playing around 25 minutes.

But Manu’s 4 rings and the impact he had on those chip years was insane. I still remember him outplaying Wade in the finals. The guy had some GREAT moments in his career.

I miss this guy so much, just had to shout him out real quick.

For me, Kobe still #2 behind MJ.

Let me guess, this was the IST court’s fault.

Jordan Poole hasn’t uttered one bad word about Draymond nor the Warriors since he got punched into the multiverse; the guy doesn’t even have any flagrant fouls on his record. He doesn’t complain to the refs, and all reports show him to be a hardworking dude despite his lack of on-court IQ.

And, I’m just going to say it, the guy played pretty darn good when he needed to in the 2022 playoffs/finals, which is a big deal. He’s got talent but, again, the IQ needs to catch up.

Yet, the media is always going on and on about how immature JP is and how nobody likes him.

It’s just weird how almost everyone unanimously agrees that Dray is a violent maniac whilst simultaneously almost applauding him for socking Poole, and I’ve never heard anyone call Dray immature.
