He doesn't get a chance at an NBA title every 48 minutes and Biles gets more chances than just every 4 years. Like you said she has 17 gold medals at age 24! How many nba titles did Jordan and LeBron have by age 24?

Worth a watch because it was the 5% of the show not about the Packers & Rodgers

I agree. That HBO special with Phelps is worth the watch IMO.

He’s got a point. Jordan and Brady have a chance to win every single year.

I disagree. There are too many differences, as you pointed out several, to

But not every athlete gets to the finals or super bowl yearly. Some only make it

May have been. But they don’t have to wait four years to find out.

You both are ignoring the fact that they compete in several competitions per

And Jordan competed in 82 competitions a year so the stress was divided by 82.

The stress was divided?! Haha yes we will have to “agree to disagree” because

ChiCityCoug

After you say her stress isn’t that much because she has other competitions each

StalwartBraveTrue

Not because stress is some how divisible by the number of stressful situations!

Well that makes more sense than your original assertion.
