An internal Trump administration document claims that having a Michael Jordan "Jumpman" tattoo and wearing "high-end urban street wear" makes you a likely member of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang.

    While this is all of course incredibly stupid and incredibly reprehensible, I also have to point out the author’s disrespect:

    one of the greatest basketball players in history

    One of? Jordan is the undisputed greatest of all time and Kareem is the only one who’s even near his level, but it’s not really arguable between them.

      I’ll have to point out your disrespect too towards LeBron.

      It’s fine if you don’t think he beats Jordan but to say he’s not even in the conversation is silly

        I did acknowledge Lebron, and Kobe, and others when I said Kareem is the only one who comes close. That’s their place in that conversation: incidental mention as part of a collective.
