Michael Is The Greatest Player Of All Time Until.....

"And now the starting line up for your World Champion Chicago Bulls" "AT FORWARD FROM CLEMSON 6-10 HORACE GRANT" "AAAA 6-7 FORWARD FROM CENTRAL ARKANSAS SCOOTTTTIEEE PIPPEN" "THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE FROM SAN FRANSICO 7-1 BIILLLL CAAARTWRIGHT" "A 6-2 GUARD FROM NOTRE DAME JOOOOHHHNN PAXSON" "FRRRROM NORTH CAROLINA AT GUARD 6-6 MICHAEL JORDAN".Anybody who was a fan of the NBA regardless of whether you liked the Bulls or not remembers that shit. I didn't like the Bulls but goddammit I watched them motherfuckers every time they played and that was because of one man:MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN. If you went to Webster's Dictionary and looked up the definition of a basketball player the picture would be that of Michael Jordan. I didn't get to see Dr. J during his prime, but his highlight reel is ridiculous. With that being said I have always said Magic and Larry were the best players on the ground Michael was the best player in the air. The only player that I can can compare to His Airness would be Muhammed Ali. Some 25 years after his debut in the league the NBA is still searching for his replacement. The problem is there is only one Michael Jordan and anyone else Kobe included is only duplicating what we have already seen.

• What separated Michael from Larry and Magic was not his desire to win, but his ability to do things they could never do. If Michael wanted to shut you down he could. If he wanted to drop 50 on you he could. He could post you up,dunk on you block your shit or just plain school you whenever he wanted too.Larry was a better shooter and Magic was a better passer and teammate, but neither could overwhelm you with their sheer athleticism. Magic could dominate you with his ability to play all five positions and Larry could do it all, but neither could isolate a man at the top of the key go baseline dribble in get confronted dribble back out, go back in again and dunk on a seven foot center who is waiting at the rim for them. Larry would have pulled up for a mid range jumper or found an open teammate. Magic would have made awesome ridiculous pass to a teammate for a dunk or he would have attempted a layup and possibly gotten fouled, but not Mike that was to easy. The reason why he treated his opponents like the Globe Trotters treated the Washington Generals was because he could. He wanted to let you know that on any given play I am capable of that shit and there is nothing you can do about it.
• Michael had the ability to be friendly with you on the court and kill you at the same time. What he did to Charles Barkley in the 92 finals was a perfect example. He would hold a conversation with Chuck and then say hold on I got to dunk on you. Then he would ask Charles where are we going to eat after the game. Wait a second I got to drop this three on Ainge. You know we should hit the clubs this weekend. Hold up I gotta hit this game winner on Kevin Johnson. Charles was so concerned with being Jordan's friend that with Game 4 on the line in the closing seconds Jordan drove right into Barkley and he stood there like Luke Walton with his hands in straight up in the air and allowed Mike to convert a three point play. This was the same man that body slammed Shaq and he couldn't prevent Mike from scoring. That is a testament to how powerful Mike was. Charles would have knocked any other man into the 5th row and then called him a Bitch and maybe even spit on him but not Mike. That's why there will never ever be another Michael Jordan, because his opponents worshipped him like his fans did.
• Last but not least David Stern won't allow it to be another Michael Jordan. With the ability to zone off the floor and triple team players, no defense even the Phoenix Suns D won't simply allow one man to beat them night in and night out.
• If Mike played today I think he would be even better because today's competition is much better at his position. I think having to guard Kobe,D-Wade,Lebron,TMac,Brandon Roy and countless others would have brought out the best in Mike and you know he thrives on challenges.
• Simply put stop searching for the next Mike and enjoy the first Kobe and the first Lebron, because of the different eras and the different rules there will never ever be another Michael Jefferey Jordan (THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME UNTIL........
