A basketball rim diameter is 18 inches. You can’t use a 20 inch diameter rim, make a thousand baskets in a row and then tell the world you made a thousand free throws. They’re not free throws and you can’t make it so with fine print that says “I define a free throw as using a 12 inch diameter rim.”

If someone tried to profit off doing this, the NBA and basketball community would shred the person.

So this idea, that people on this board are being petty by calling James out, is ridiculous.

I call it protecting the integrity of the sport and I think more people should be speaking out about it.

James is not doing 100 Ironman’s, let alone 1.
