Dope. The experience that is. I hope he didn't pay all that money expecting to see a win.
I guess they see him as an immediate future upgrade over Andrew Wiggins, who is 5 years younger and has been unreliable.
Wiggins is making $24M next year...
George's option is for $48!!! He damn sure is not twice as good as Wiggins. As much bitching as they do about the luxury tax, this doesn't make sense to me. I'd rather keep Wiggins and spend on better supporting players around him & the core.

Folks are still doing deep dives on MJs game film from the 80's. Only at the tip of the iceberg.
Most Jordan is the GOAT fans are choosing to ignore the smoke, which is fine for now. But it's setting up a cottage industry of media that will cover all the cheating in the future. I say give it 4 years or so. Negative stories in media about Michael Jordan will soon be very profitable because Gen Z and Gen Alpha are hungry for them.
He still is. High school, college and pro careers are top notch.
He's "A" GOAT, he wasn't and isn't regarded as "The" GOAT in general conversation when speaking about NBA basketball.
If your experience is different then I respect it but that's not mine.
Nobody that scores less points than LeBron James is considered the sports greatest player. The average Laker fan doesn't even consider him the greatest Laker. You guys didn't have the heart to argue Kareem over Jordan for 20 years, now that Brons legacy has exposed how over rated MJ is, everyone got the heart to say someone else is the GOAT now.
Weak.

The Father-Son Drama of LeBron and Bronny James
At the upcoming N.B.A. draft, perhaps the biggest question is where a likely role player—whose dad is one of the greatest athletes of all time—will end up.
This is a GREAT move. Deni was a trash pick as i said on draft day. Moving him for a good locker room vet and a near lottery pick tonite is some of the best GM'ing ive seen from this shit org in decades.

Korneheiser is excited about the possibility of the Wizards getting Alex Sarr from France (whom I've dubbed "Welfare Wemby"):

Thats pretty good YP... thats gonna spread and stick like butter if it gets out. Get that on social quick so you can timestamp its origin one day.
Notice with this generation its not about sucking corporate white dick to the top and hating on the young Black men after you all day like @LordSinister's era. These Black American men want to see the ones after them get paid. They're not sitting on the internet trolling either.
