If the b-ball player on earth is having shoulder pain, and I’m also having shoulder pain, can I say I feel like the best bball player on Earth?

[Esmnewnew]

Yes, you can

No

[Ευδεμονια]

That’s not how syllogism works. There needs to be a causal relation with the pain and the feeling like the best bball player. You can say “I’ve shoulder ache, like the one the best bball player has”.
