re: LeBron Fans: Ever Ask Yourself Why Tiger Is So Beloved?

Or maybe it’s because Tiger is within reach of Jack and LeBron will never make it past halfway to Jordan. Yes there are some other golfers who could be in the convo for GOAT but mostly it’s Jack and Tiger and it’s merit based. LeBron status comes from the media and social media, not from his own accomplishments or merit. There are other basketball players objective people would put between Jordan and LeBron, some even have an argument vs Jordan for the greatest of alltime. The truth is LeBron is nowhere near MJ and never will be, once his career is over and the hype machine that drives his narrative has no more use for him his place in history will be much more clear. And that place isn’t 1st or 2nd alltime.

I've never heard Tiger regarded as "beloved".

Y’all have fun in your 3 page playoff threads.

in the Ryder Cup, yes, but he has done well in the Presidents Cup. The Americans in general have done poorly at the Ryder Cup most years since the early 90s
