Oh, well, I think that there was something that LeBron was working against as far as from the masses that neither Brady nor Jordan had to work against, which is. Two diehard fan bases who were deeply invested in him not being considered as great as he was. Because you had Jordan fans and Kobe fans who it was a part of their individual identity that needed LeBron to not be LeBron.

And now he has seven. And now it's like, oh, he was always the greatest. So those were all those were very different stories than the one Patrick is having right now.
