The Something to Say Radio Show – July 25th, 2026

I guess the biggest news in the sports world is, of course, LeBron James has made his decision on where he is going to play.

Now, if you've been listening to this show for any amount of time, you know that I'm not a big, huge LeBron James fan at all.

I think that puts it mildly.

However, is he one of the greatest players of all time? Yeah.

Is he as high as everybody thinks he is? No.

To be honest, me personally, and I know a lot of people would disagree with this statement, and I'm not just trying to give a hot take, but I don't even put him in the top.

I don't put him in the top five.

Maybe he's in the top ten.

Certainly not the greatest of all time.

Longevity doesn't make you the greatest of all time.

Sorry.

It just doesn't.

If that was the case, you'd be looking more at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or one of those guys who played forever.

I just don't see it.

And yeah, he's going to have all the stats when he retires, of course, because he's played forever.

But I just I don't think that he's he's the guy.

And, of course, it's been a big deal for the last three weeks since he's announced that he was going to be leaving the Lakers, which, you know, the Lakers then took that money and promptly started signing free agents.

And good for them.

They've loaded up.

And I think they're going to be a better team without him next year than what they were with him.

However, you have a team, you know, he finally made his decision that he is going to be signing with the 76ers.

And he got a two year deal for eight million dollars plus a player option for a third.

I hope he doesn't stay for three more years.

I listen to a lot of podcasts.

Well, not a lot of podcasts, but I listen to a podcast specifically, and the guy on there likes to use the phrase, how can we miss you if you never leave? And I feel that's how I feel about LeBron James.
