Hold up, hold up, hold up. I'mma let you finish—I'mma let you finish—but first I gotta say something real quick. You know all those retired old NBA farts, sitting back on their La-Z-Boys, looking down their long noses through their reading glasses at the 70-9 Warriors, shifting haughtily in their Depends as they come up with some kind of would-be, time machine shit talk about how they would handle Curry, et al? You know, the Pippens, the Oscars, the Stephen Jacksons, the Ceballos of the world? You know what they all have in common? They don't play the game anymore.But you know who you don't hear shit talk from? Current players. Yeah, that's right. People who have withstood the evolution of the game, adapted, and currently play at the highest level—and, moreover, people who currently play the Warriors. If anything, you just hear admiration and praise from current players. And now you can add The LeBron James to that list.LeBron—who will be receiving his own GOATness praise at his eventual retirement (and will likely be talking his own shit about Mugsy Bouges' grandson or whoever is up and coming at the time)—doesn't see the Warriors' amazing streak as anything to take a shit on. No, in fact, he came out today and said that he'd even like to see the Warriors break the 95-96 Bulls' 72 win record. He's talking about a team that he might see in the Final. That is how a grown man acts, people.Today, as reported by ESPN, LeBron sat underneath the Bulls' 72-win banner before the Cavs game against Chicago tonight, and waxed poetic on the Warriors' potential."Records are meant to be broken," James said when asked about the Warriors, who have three games left to win to beat the record. "That doesn't mean your record that's broken [and] anyone is looking less of you. You have rushing records that are broken. You have home run records that are broken. You have 100-yard dash [times] that are broken. You have all types of records that are broken, but no one ever looks down upon the record that is broken."You actually praise it even more. You look back at it like, 'Wow, they really did that?' So having Golden State in a position where if they win three in a row they can break that record, I think it's pretty cool."You hear that, you old fucks? LeBron James thinks that's pretty cool. You know why? Because beating your old, dusty-ass fish tales with objective, quantifiable proof is fucking cool. Alright, you can finish now.
