Maybe he reached out to XM and they knocked him back. That would explain the salty bitterness.

Look, pal. You obviously dont know what exactly was going on with XM.
Forps wanted to receive freebies?

Having no Tube channel or never posting photos?
Freebies were received by Tubers or even by guys posting photos on eg an online forum
as long as they PUSHED XM narrative down our throats.
XM studios had an online army of pushers and hypers receiving their "gifts", they even had Tubers working for them and bashing Sideshow. Then Tubers started pushing eg retailers/resellers or other companies.
Sideshow fans hate XM for the same reason Sideshow hates XM.
You obviously dont know HOW XM REALLY STARTED. What were the roots of XM and why Sideshow would and will never cooperate with XM.
But the
"Forps wanted to receive freebies" is the most funny thing i've ever read. Forps is like archangel. We dont care about freebies or receiving free stuff to "review" it.
I can buy the pieces i want with my own money, i dont care for promoting or hyping or pushing agendas down collectors' throats.
Regardint IronLungs, read again what i wrote, my friend. I wrote that ONLY Shaq would be a top5 or top10 player nowadays and only due to his physical dominance. He would be a better version of Gobert. But he would also be vulnerable not being able to shoot in an era when your center should have the ABILITY and TALENT to also shoot the 3. Shaq would still be a superstar but not the best player of his era (cause Shaq IS the best player from the 90s. PERIOD).
Jordan is a poor mans Anthony Edwards. Edwards is what? No 7-8 in the league nowadays? So Jordan would be somewhere around 13-14.
Edwards shoots better than MJ, he is more athletic, has a HIGHER basketball IQ, passes a lot more, is better in every single aspect than the glorified by guys @ their mid-40s and boomers glorified volumen shooter aka MJ.
I view 90s the way guys in the 90s viewed players from the 60s/70s. Plumbers, carpenters, bouncers. Limited talent, extremely slowwwwwwwwww games, NO pace, no talent etc.
You are simply idolizing the players you've watched while you were young kids. Its ok, i UNDERSTAND it. Its psychology 101. It is the same reason you hear guys telling
"ohhhhh, the good ol' days" in every aspect of life.
Lebron is the ULTIMATE basketball player. He does everything at an elite level and he is a basketball machine. He is the UNDISPUTED GOAT and deep inside you, setting aside your hate towards him due to politics (the crazy politics of the last ~10y stemming from, well, you all know), you all know it. He is the GOAT.
Nuff said.
