Kareem played 20 seasons, appearing in 1,560 regular-season games. He even played 80 games during the 1983–84 season when he broke Wilt Chamberlain's scoring record, and played 79 games at age 38 in 1985 when he was the best player in the world during the Finals against the Celtics. Kobe believed he owed everything to the people who saved up money to watch him play, knowing it might be their only chance to see him live. He played every game he could walk, famously playing the entire 2009-2010 season when the Lakers beat the Celtics in the 2010 NBA Finals with a broken index finger on his shooting hand.

@Gerry Hamilton Neither Kareem nor Kobe took a game off for "load management" in twenty years of regular season play.

Here we go. Kobe Bryant is the only man known to have told Michael Jordan straight to his face that he could kick his ass in a 1-on-1 game when he 21. Jordan later stated Kobe was only man who could have possibly beaten him 1v1.

Glad to see AI says 22 year old 2001 Kobe would beat prime 1986 Bird 1v1. Curry ain't close.

Let's go to Curry. Given that he couldn't defend my grandmother, why should I think he's anything other than a gen z pansy? There's no way Kobe or Jordan wouldn't kick his ass. I don't care about shooting metrics in the post man defensive rules. What say you?

Arch is going in the draft in 2027. He'll go first overall because no NFL GM would ever try to explain to his fanbase why he didn't draft Arch Manning. My guess is the Mannings have the pull to force trade away from a team they absolutely don't want. Doubt it comes to that. Atlanta is trying to tank. Miami is trying to tank. Jets, Cardinals, Panthers, Titans, Raiders, Browns, Saints... They'll all suck and they'll all want him.

I think something must have happened recently with Blue and Cowboys. All reporting all camp long was that Blue would have a roll and there was no way he wouldn't make the team.

Arnold's still a one read goober who holds the ball way too long and takes too many sacks.

Doesn't make any sense to cut Ewers if they traded for him. If Miami cut him, they could have simply claimed him off waivers without the trade.

While congress is in the mood to save college sports, they need to ban CW from broadcasting games.

Jaguars are much better than the Dolphins, and Cohen is a pretty good offensive coach. Hopefully Quinn can solidify a spot and remain for a while.

Hard to enjoy watching a game that includes UNC. These ESPN executives need to be fired.

Kareem best center ever. Magic best point guard ever. Notice it's all Kareem scoring and all Magic passing.

Kareem was the oldest basketball player to be the best best player in the world. Kareem was the best player in the world in June 1985 when he was 38 and kicked Bird's ass. Kareem was the best player in the world in 1971 when he was 22 and kicked Wilt's ass.

Gerry, I know you love Shaq. Do you think Shaq was better than Kareem?
