FWIW, I thought the Matthysse and Lemieux fights more than made up for the lack of action in the Canelo fight, which was enjoyable at least for the clinic Canelo put on.
MJ is my #1, Bird #2, and LeBron #3. I just can't overlook the fact that those two have a level of "it" factor that LeBron has zero shot of ever matching. LeBron is the greatest talent in NBA history, but he's not the alpha that Jordan or Bird were. I remember watching warm ups and seeing opposing defenders take deep breaths over and over. They were stressed to the max at the idea of going out and having to defend them. LeBron just doesn't strike fear in defenders the way MJ and Bird did (and that's feedback from NBA clients who've guarded LeBron).
a. Yes, I can say the bar is low. The sport is having a good start to the year. Here's hoping it picks up steam from here.
You're putting words into my mouth to a degree. I do believe Herman thinks Zaire could be the best option.
You think Bird has a different level of "it" than Lebron?
I hope so, but the way you worded it sounded like you weren't focused on him because he was committed to LSU.
Dak and Zeke upgraded the Dallas offensive by producing on field production/results not projection. You're saying the Texans have upgraded their offense based on draft projections. Your claim that the Texans have upgraded their QB position is false at this moment because there is zero evidence to back that claim in terms of performance. Slow down, everything you're saying is purely projection.
There are literally hundreds of players in the state to keep up with. My somewhat miscalculation is that he would be more active in the camp/combine circuit, but that hasn't quite been the case this year.
I get what you're saying, proven production has less risk than probably or possible production. However, it's probably fair to project Houston to go from perhaps the worst starting QB in the NFL too something less worse like, say, 8th worse with a 4th year in this system Tom Savage and a talented DeShaun Watson. The offensive line should be better with Nick Martin coming back from injury, and many talented skill position players drafted last year will have another year in the system including Fuller, Braxton, and Lamar Miller. Adding Foreman should increase the efficiency of Lamar Miller.
It's true, unless you want to inflate what he accomplished against unskilled players in an era where his team was stacked with more HOF players than anyone else.
There you go trying to push that progressive agenda again.
It's a different era. LeBron's personality is different. All these guys vacation together and are truly friends.There you go trying to push that progressive agenda again.
All jokes aside, there's something MJ & Bird had that LeBron doesn't. I can't define it. There is no question that LeBron is the better athlete, but people feared MJ and Bird in a way that they don't fear LeBron.
That's crazy talk. LeBron is in the head of every player in today's game.There you go trying to push that progressive agenda again.

I can only speak based on my clients in the NBA. They all recognize him as the best player in the league, but none of them fear him. Maybe it's a reflection of the fact that the players are all friends, like @NovoHorn said. But, they don't fear Cleveland the way I perceive that teams did the Bulls.
Bull Corn....I respect your opinion but, that is ridiculous, seriously. I guess we just totally disagree. I saw him play growing up, he was an unbelievable athlete....unbelievable.
No, I'm mostly talking about Russell, whose resume gets overhyped because he happened to play for the most talented team.
Hmm... I can only speak as a Spurs fan but doesn't ever seem to be in Kwahi Leonard's head at all. I do still think Lebron is the best in the league at this point but Leonard plays him better than anyone else and seems to relish playing against him.
