  1. If you’re a dude, I don’t care how young or old, these sort of badges and medals always means something more than expected. It’s like a unique Platinum achievement only LeBron can get.

    I bet most of his peers are going to geek out on it and ask to see it up close.

    I think the NBA should go farther with this. They should give the NBA Cup winner a subtle silver band across the shoulder on the winners uniforms, sort of like a military badge, for the rest of the year.

    They should give small permanent gold stars to anyone who wins an NBA championship, affixed to the lapel area. So Klay Thompson doesn’t need to count four fingers to brag to shit talkers, he just needs to point to his lapel.

    Walking around the court with 2+ stars has to be bad ass, even if you’re a scrub.

    It also allows them to sell more jerseys every time a great player wins another championship for the diehard fans who want the different jerseys for each championship run.

  2. Not that this is specifically a Lebron thing but anyone notice how athletes swapped out the phrase “an honor” for “humbling”? My guess is someone’s agent came up with it for PR purposes, to sound less arrogant, and the industry copied it. The first time I can recall it being used was Josh Hamilton’s MVP award press conference, I believe.

    This is definitely not humbling lol.

    Pretty cool for Bron though.

  3. Why do people saying _____ accomplishment is humbling? I thought usually bad things are humbling. Like losing the finals. Or getting your ass beat by your wife’s boyfriend. But how on earth is winning an MVP or breaking an NBA record “humbling”

  4. Ngl with beginning to jersey swap and this patch it seems like the nba knows something we don’t. I feel like he’ll hang it up at the end of this season.

  5. He’s gonna retire. I think he’d want the max but we can only sign him for 30M per year.
