I’ve made breakfast for LeBron James, Kevin Love and also Denzel Washington. I was the breakfast cook in a hotel they stayed at. LeBron was a dick, never even said thank you. Denzel and Kevin were some of the nicest humans I’ve ever met.

No matter how many records James sets, Jordan will always be considered the greatest. Maybe it makes him sullen, but he should have worked on being more charismatic instead.

Jordan is also notorious for being a major asshole

I fully agree, but somehow he's a charismatic asshole

Whole heartedly agree with this. As an immigrant, back home, everyone knew Jordan, Michael Jackson and Mohammed Ali. I’ve even watched Ali’s fights on VHS tape (if that’s the correct term for the old video tapes) back in the 80s when I was a little kid. I did the same with Jordan’s games later on. I’ve listened to Jackson songs and danced (horribly) with them (to them?). In my country now, hardly anyone knows James, or any of the new generation.
