I'm sure your comment is implying good perspectives but, there's a perspective that part of myself could see where your comment could be insinuated as coming from, " you think other people that exist besides yourself are here to just entertain you?" I was wanting to add that his qualities and knowledge of this sport are mere fractions of the rest of his qualities and importance for others. Though he is skilled in a sport, I wouldn't want to just perceive the secular capability of a human being as just entertainment. It's also a reminder of the hard work it takes, the mental and physical grit, the importance of remembering not everyone is evil and some use their free will to create sportsmanship like atmospheres. Where many groups of people or like minded individuals can congregate and work together, etc. I apologize if I seem like I'm attacking you because I'm not. I just want to emphasize a little more on the subject of how some people look at others as merely entertaining and that's all.

This is the kind of ball I like to watch. Joker rewards his teammates for cutting, for being open. He says it himself, he prefers the assist because two teammates are happy plus his accuracy on passing is amazing although they better have good eyesight, strong hands and have an awareness of how and where Joker will pass! Actually watching Joker and looking at his stats give me an appreciation of what Lebron has accomplished?
