MJ seems to me to be a totally miserable human being, though. Like nearly friendless, finds little joy or satisfaction in anything I consider meaningful.

Kobe is harder to read. He had a legendary killer-instinct and drive. But I get a bit more personality, even warmth to a degree, from him than MJ. Kobe (RIP) might have lived a better life than MJ.

LeBron is a bit of knuckle head, can be a crybaby, etc. But, you know what? I think it is totally healthy to say something like "Its just basketbal in the end." Because that's true. I don't approach my profession with the kind of crazy focus of MJ or Kobe, and that's part of why I am not super wealthy. And Peak LeBron might have been better than Peak MJ, even. He seems to have maintained some normalcy while also achieving incredible success. Ain't nothing wrong with that.
