LeBron James can never match Michael Jordan's level of legendary asshole-ness

LeBron could never. Never, ever. ... MJ talks such great shit... [He] has a full staff walking around with highlights ready to go, depending on which NBA players he runs into. ... LeBron could never.

Jordan's reputation for competitive pettiness is legendary and well-documented compared to LeBron's more curated public persona.

Dwight Howard is the worst teammate of all time

Dwight Howard, the worst teammate. Can we say he's the worst teammate of all time? Embrace the bait... Dwight Howard just being the worst teammate ever and no one wanting him. He alienated his teammates before we met him.

While Howard's reputation was poor, he later redeemed himself as a valuable role player for the 2020 Lakers championship team.

Dwight Howard would work on the Celtics

I actually think he would work on the Celtics. Call me crazy. But they wouldn't let him be the alpha. And if he didn't fit, he wouldn't fit. But I think he could fit.

Howard never played for the Celtics, and they didn't pursue him, opting for different frontcourt configurations.

If LeBron James didn't call 'bank' on his game-winner, it shouldn't count the same

If you don't call bank in a situation like that, I don't think it should count. [Big Cat:] I'd rather be good than lucky... [PFT:] It was a bad shot that happened to go in. Correct. Which doesn't count the same as a good shot.

Hot TakeBasketballFireSarcastic
The shot was obviously intentional and successful, and bank calls don't actually affect the score in NBA rules.

The Golden State Warriors are a worse team with Kevin Durant

I said that they were going to be worse with [Kevin Durant]. I said that. I was the only one. You called me an idiot. Guess what? The black hole is leaving Oakland, but he's the new black hole. You pass the ball to him, it disappears... I think he's the second best player in the NBA, but I think that they're a worse team with him.

The Warriors won the next two NBA championships (2017, 2018) with Durant, and he won Finals MVP both times.
