"Objectively horrible take" -- about an opinion.

I don't think you know what the word "objectively" actually means. I think you mean to say "I strongly disagree with this take and have good reasons to support my view." Regardless, you're right that LeBron is a physical marvel. But don't forget he plays in the era of load management. Look at how many times Jordan played 80-82 regular season games. It's insane. Nonetheless, LeBron's longevity is ridiculous. However, there is something to be said for sticking with a single franchise in the pursuit of championships (Bird, Magic, Kobe, Isaiah, Duncan, Steph, MJ (essentially)). It makes players less appealing when they are quick to jump from franchise to franchise -- always looking to join a better situation rather than BUILD the better situation where they are. There's something admirable about the toil of building a championship team. Taking your lumps, inching forward, until you're ready to win it all. This is just my opinion (not an objective fact). It's why -- as good as KD is -- he's rarely mentioned among the all-time greats (even though he is one of the most unstoppable offensive players of all-time). It's why many people roll their eyes at LeBron going to his fifth franchise in search of more rings. He's entering season 24 and still trails MJ by two rings. IDK, it just seems like maybe staying put and building a roster is better than joining another super team. Again, just my opinion.

Likely unpopular opinion
VTFuzz 07/27/26 08:43 AM ET
It should be unpopular. It's an objectively horrible take.

Pride_and_Joy 07/26/26 07:34 PM ET
I guess I don't get why "ring-hunting" seems to have a negative connotation

Nostalgia. Back in our day, players were more likely to play for a team or

For me, it's not nostalgia.

Well, after the Miami mess I'm not surprised.**

He’s several years too late unfortunately.

I disagree. This Sixer team is legit. **

The 1980s had Bird, Dr. J, Ewing, Moses, Bob Lanier, Isiah Thomas, etc.
