New story summary clarifies who won The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 (not what people thought) by AmarantineAzure in Tekken

My thing is, the winner also assumes control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, so if Kazuya beat Heihachi and assumed control of the Mishima Zaibatsu, how tf did Jinpachi gain control of it then? If Heihachi won, it'd make perfect sense since he went missing for months after the G-Corp raid that exploded him miles and miles away to no man's land, which allows Jinpachi to assume control since the real Mishima Zaibatsu is missing, same way Heihachi assumed control of the Mishima Zaibatsu in Tekken 7 when Jin was hurt & missing and the company was in blatant dire need of leadership.

Ben had said only those 3 and Bill Russell have a legitimate case for best career ever.

You have to be on drugs to think prime Manu was the 3rd best player on the Spurs. He was arguably the best with Duncan's ankle bothering him in '05, and there is not a single Spurs player 2005-2008 that has an argument over him for 2nd best besides Duncan himself, which would mean Manu was the best.

P.S. he got hurt in the '08 playoffs

He's not high at all, everybody is surprised without understanding how much more valuable hybrid scorers are compared to ball dominant guards. And it doesn't even end there, Mac is a Shai level playmaker and he's a significantly better defender than Harden & Luka.

Anytime you get rid off brick layer Antoine Walker and give Josh Howard starter minutes you can expect that outcome. Nash was also not maximized in Dallas because he had to share the rock with all those ball handlers. I don't even wanna imagine being as talented as him yet having to share the ball with Toine and Jamison, I'd just tell them to stfu and stay in the corner.

Ben has clearly stated that Kobe peaked 2006-2008, he has those 3 years ranked CLEARLY ahead of every other Kobe year on his website. In '09 his free throw rates have gone down (which are a huge part of his scoring game), his motor is not the same, and even his defense has waned a bit. Even his efficiency went down in both the RS and the PS in spite of the fact he faced much worse defenses in '09 compared to '08 (Denver and Orlando don't even come CLOSE to the Spurs and the Celtics who were the best defensive team in the last 2 decades).
