Not just easier, but better

Questions such as “Who’s the basketball GOAT?” lead to more important ones such as “Why ask?”

It’s not only easier, but also better to make room for a variety of heroes.  Whereas Michael Jordan may have more of a “clutch gene” (as Scottie Pippen would have it), LeBron James

is a social-justice role model.

When Laura Ingraham relegated James to simply being a ball bouncer, he responded with a brilliant documentary called “Shut Up and Dribble.”  This three-part series featured other NBA players who had plenty to say about civil rights.

One of those players, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, recently wrote a Newsweek article lauding James’ all-around example.  Along with his basketball and activist accomplishments, LeBron has been relentlessly committed to a healthful routine.  He faithfully practices dietary discipline and assorted workout routines.

There’s room in this world for more than one GOAT; in fact, the high peaks host many.
