I disagree with Mychal Thompson and his son Klay, my "Showtime" Lakers would beat the Warriors.

The latest to weigh in on the age old debate of which team is better? The ever insightful, Magic Johnson. Magic believes his "Showtime" Laker team would beat the Warriors team. This was in response to Klay Thompson's remarks about his Golden State team beating that same Laker squad. THAT was in response to whose dad could beat up the other dad!
OH MY GOSH!! SHOTS FIRED!! Mr. Magic, you little devil you! For the love of all that is sacred can we please stop bringing up this USELESS fucking question, please?! The fact is, none of these teams will ever play each other, Steph Curry is not going to check Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson, Scott Pippen is not going to grapple with Draymond Green (or leave a tip for anyone) blah blah blah. Why can't we just live in the goddamn moment and appreciate what we are watching? This goes for all sports and all eras. An NFL linemen today would literally kill a linemen from the 60's in sheer bulk and mass alone, but dammit to hell I think those 1960's Packers would beat the 2000's Patriots teams with all of their heart and determination! Why would we be asking a hypothetical question that will NEVER come to fruition in the first place? I think my 2001 Little League All-Star team would beat the 2001 New York Yankees, but it doesn't mean we will get the chance to find that out. In this case there is no need to embrace debate, eat my shorts Skip Bayless and Stephen Ass Smith.
