The debate centers on Nets-era Kevin Durant’s 2021 run (34.3 points per game over 12 contests), 2019 Raptors Kawhi Leonard’s championship charge (30.5 points, Finals MVP with 24 games), 2020 bubble LeBron James (27.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists in 21 games), and healthy Jayson Tatum’s deep playoff outings like his 2022 Nets demolition. KD leads many lists for scoring, Kawhi for two-way play and the ring, LeBron for playmaking despite Anthony Davis’s edge in stats, while Tatum fans highlight his head-to-head wins over Durant. Patterns show chaos in rankings, with Celtics supporters claiming Tatum tops them all.

Massie's 'No Immunity for Glyphosate Act,' unveiled Friday, blocks federal funds for Trump's February 18 executive order and removes liability shields for manufacturers facing lawsuits over injuries from glyphosate exposure. The order uses the Defense Production Act to boost domestic production of the widely used herbicide and phosphorus, citing risks from import reliance that could threaten food supplies and national security. Critics like Massie argue it protects Bayer amid thousands of cancer lawsuits, while backers emphasize defense and farming needs; the bill highlights tensions in Trump's coalition despite slim chances in a GOP-led Congress.

Key Takeaway

Rep. Thomas Massie teamed up with lawmakers from both parties, including Lauren Boebert and Ro Khanna, to challenge President Trump's push for more glyphosate herbicides like Roundup.
