Members of the Harris - Biden administration are likely working on it right now, since Biles out of the Olympics, is such a huge, tragic, loss for all Americans and the entire world.

Lol. Ok


And would you even remember that if it weren’t rehashed on The Last Dance? If someone came up to you two years ago on the street and asked you if Scottie Pippen belonged in the Hall of Fame you would say no?

That's two different things. He can still be a quitter and be a HoFer.

I would say I remember him being a quitter, but let me look at his stats, etc., and I'll get back to you on the Hall of Fame question. Quitter, is a part of his legacy.

Yeah I think Quitter is listed after 6 X NBA Champion and 7 X Allstar on his wiki.

It was a different era.

Nobody gave a damn about mental health bsck then so you either succeeded or failed and then dealt with your personal demons later in private.

Some dealt fine and some leaned on alcohol and drugs to cope.

And a lot of people can’t stand this changing

Does anyone know why she went through the trials if she was struggling mentally or did she decide she wanted to focus on individual events?

It's an objective opinion in my opinion. Just like my opinion of Michael Jordan being the greatest basketball player of all time is my opinion (though with some pretty strong backing).

I tend to think the person who did it "first" and elevated a sport to a new level like Jordan or Comaneci or what Johnny Unitas did for the QB position tends to be "better" in my book than someone with all the stats in the world. Yeah, Tom Brady broke every record in the book, but did so while standing on the shoulders of giants.

Nothing against Biles at all. But I personally look at the new levels Comaneci took the sport to as just as or more important than winning a thousand gold medals.

Jordan coming up in a discussion about Biles quitting makes me think about the ultimate conspiracy theory...

Did Jordan quit to play baseball for a year or did the Commish secretly suspend him for gambling for a year?

I will say this, my opinion of Béla Károlyi changed after I watched Athlete A. While he was never specifically mentioned, there is no way the things that happened under Nassar happened without him and his little harpy wife knowing something.

If you've never watched it, I'd highly suggest it. But don't blame me when you get the urge to go out and kick the living **** out of a whole bunch of people in the aftermath.

Just so cowardly. And rude. Now when you lose you tell your opponent I am struggling with mental health. You didnt get my best today.

That's a different thing all together. He actually hurt the team when he played with a broken thumb his senior season and had to do those goofy handoffs. Crompton should have been playing.

Scottie Pippen, a guy who is in the basketball hall of fame, quit on his team. Literally refused to go into a game in a clutch moment in the playoffs because he wasn’t the guy getting the last shot. Do you remember him as a quitter?

If somebody brings up Pippen, I think about that. I also think he was a great player overshadowed by the greatest player. Sitting out will be part of his legacy.

The following season showed why Crompton wasn’t playing haha. Ainge won the SEC East but his pick six in the title game was rough
