Welcome to the standard that Mayweather, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Tiger Woods and Hussein Bolt have to live under.

:manny:

But she already lived up to that standard. People are treating these Olympics like it hurts her legacy or puts an asterisk to her name, but it doesn't. She said it already. She did it already. She's here, so what's happening? :yeshrug:

This is the equivalent of Brady on the Buccaneers or Tiger winning the Masters in 2019. Their spot was already solidified, anything beyond their previous dominance is just gravy.

Yeah I agree she’s still the GOAT. But Jordan with the Wizards still got criticized for not maintaining the standard he set.

Simone winning a bronze is like Jordan averaging 20 ppg. They aren’t competing against their peers. They are competing against the standard they set.

Anyone that says she isn’t the GOAT still is just hating. Anyone patting her on the back for winning the Bronze is pandering.

She has over 30 Olympic medals total. No one is even close to what she accomplished over her career. Some of y’all really hate black women amd need counseling.

nikka what :why:

Phelps got the most at 28 with 23 golds. He is the GOAT olympian :camby:

Simone has 7 with 4 golds :mindblown:

I hate when people just make up shyt for no reason :rudy:

Under normal circumstances, people wouldn't be impressed by a bronze medal, but Simone's name rings off differently than most. With the mental problems she's been dealing with, and the fact that a gymnast with performance anxiety can lead to paralysis or death, her being able to pull through means something.

Imagine Usain or Phelps not participating because of mental issues :russ:

Phelps almost put a bullet in his brain because he had to push himself through mental issues. If things were different, we would be talking about him in the past tense. :huhldup:

I think he meant that Simone has over 30 medals from the Olympics and World Championships, which makes her the most decorated gymnast of all-time.

I support Biles. I got her back.

But I don’t have a very good feeling about how these sponsorship deals are going to workout. I don’t think they signed her to not compete and walk away with a Bronze medal :patrice:
