However it really is amazing how good Lebron is despite the fact he is clearly past his prime.

Crazy how fit GOAT athletes are. Thirty something is really the new late 20s. Lebron at 38, Djokovic and Messi at 35. Primes have been extended when past generation of GOATs had long retired by that age.

"The luckiest guy in the world" is a four part series on ESPN+/Disney+/Hulu that really is must watch TV if you want to get into the head of an athlete. Constant battling of injuries and self-doubt.

The mental fortitude is unbelievable and he always made others feel happy despite the pain he felt.

I saw that series and it was great. I'm a San Diegan and so was Bill Walton. He's much beloved here, kind of like an Ambassador for our city. I met him once (as have a lot of people because he was very outgoing and friendly). Big Bill will definitely be missed.
