This kid, Jafar Jackson, is as good as Rami Malek, as Freddie Mercury, and it's as good as Timothee Chalamet, as...

Bob Dylan, and I say that with love and respect for both of those actors.

And I don't know how many Oscar nominations they give out.

I don't know if it's five, six for best actor.

150% this kid, Jafar Jackson, should absolutely positively get nominated for his portrayal as Michael Jackson.

2007, Spurs defeat LeBron's Cavaliers in the sweep.

You know, the Cavs dropped the first two games in San Antonio and then they lost games three and four at home and they got swept.

Game three, the lowest scoring finals game since 1955.

Score was 75 to 72.

That was like, I mean, LeBron missed a potential game tying three, like a bomb.

It was, it was deep.

LeBron was only 22 years old.

So, you know, when be like, he was playing in his fourth season, it was his second playoffs, but his first go in the finals.

And as many as noted, you know, LeBron probably carrying an ill-equipped team to the finals.

This was not a very good Cavaliers team going up against a great Spurs team.

Now, you might push back and say, was LeBron actually the best player heading into that finals?

You know, Duncan, I guess, technically finished higher than LeBron in the MVP vote that year.
