He's Back, He's Back, he's back, he's back, he's back, he's back, he's back, he's black, he's back, he's back.
Shaq-Probably not, Shaq is a totally different player anyway Kobe-Yes Duncan-Yes Francis-Yes Rasheed-Yes Webber-Yes Payton-Yes McGrady-Tough one... Vince-Yes Iverson-Yes Ray Allen-Yes Do it.
I thought he might have been trying to hide it or something, and had something to do with a post from a couple weeks back.
Hahaha. Heres my take. Younger players on Wizards will take a longer time leading a team but will learn alot from MJ. ( watching that is) Jordan is Still Jordan. He is the best in the nba no matter what anyone says. By the way, Im going to get my tickets for Rockets vs Wizards!
Although I also don't think he'll be top ten, I could care less what Mark friggin' Cuban thinks. Pimp, you've always been a great poster, but c'mon, Mark Cuban? Why the hell should his opinion be food for thought?
If you would have mentioned Jack Ramsey's name or David Aldridge I could have agreed. However, agreeing with Cuban on Jordan being a Top 10 is enough to have your Clutch registration revoked immediately. If you told me Cuban wears the players jock straps around his head when he sleeps I could agree with you. MJ is going to light up Dallas like a christmas tree, especially Micheal Finley.
Below is my guess is to who Jordan will be better than: Shaq: No way in hell Kobe: No way Duncan: No way in hell Francis: maybe Rasheed: probably Webber: No way in hell Payton: doubtfully McGrady: No way in hell Vince: No way Iverson: No way in hell Ray Allen: maybe I'll add a few more: Garnett: No way in hell Kidd: No way Marbury: maybe Finley: maybe Notwitski: maybe Malone: doubtfully Sprewell: probably Stackhouse: maybe Pierce: maybe Jamison: maybe McDyess: probably Abdur-Rahim: maybe Olajuwon: defintely So by my thinking the most optimstic you could put Jordan is the second half of the top 10, and in the #10 slot is still pretty hopefull. I would say somewhere between #12-#20 is more likely. That still puts him in fairly elite company and far from an embarassment, and I see no reason why he should not still play if he is at this level. I think ya'll who think he will be better than AI, Shaq, Duncan, Webber, or Garnett spent way too much time the last 3 years watching MJ film in NBA legend archives.
It's too complex to compare different positions and be fair. The question should be asked as to whether he is a top five SG or SF. Since he is a lock to make the All Star Team, that's probably not objective. How about, will Jordan make 1st or 2nd team all NBA? My list or similar position players: Kobe: better, but not smarter maybe yet. Vince: see Kobe. T-Mac: this freak of a human-being would dominate MJ IMO. Iverson: if he was taller, he would be Jordan's second coming. R. Allen: scorer, but not team leader...Jordan is better. Houston: see Ray Allen. Miller: too this day he is underated, but not better than MJ. Finley: underated; he is the heart of the Mavs...toss up Spree: contriversial, but a leader for sure...toss up Stack: scores, but is a perrenial loser...not better Pierce: best player on an awful team...toss up Cat: toss up for now Did I miss anyone? Remember, these are SG and SF here. Only the first 4 in my opinion are shoe-ins as better than MJ. That means MJ won't get 1st or 2nd team, but a good chance at 3rd team ALL NBA. Of course, they play the season for a reason, and anything can happen...MJ could get into the cream of the crop or he could suck.
I think it's more fair to predict that Jordan can in fact play well, than it is to predict that he can't. I doubt any of us have seen him play since those little smidgets from the Wizard's practices last season. And if you saw him in a couple pickup games during the summer, its still been about a month or two. I say Jordan is still the man to beat.
SHAQ DUNCAN GARNETT IVERSON KIDD PAYTON KOBE MCGRADY WEBBER MUTOMBO ...10 players better than mike... KOBE MCGRADY PIERCE IVERSON ODOM FINLEY STACKHOUSE ROSE ALLEN CARTER...10 at his 2-3 position that are better than him...
How do you know? And by that I mean how do any of us know? Until we see him, I say we give him the benefit of the doubt.
I am so sick and tired of hearing about Jordan coming back. I got two words for ya and it isnt suck it. Sorry a little wrestling throw in there. WHO CARES! He should never come back and he will never get to go out the way he did the last time. He reminds me of Sugar Ray Leonard. He cant stand to be out of the spotlight and basketball was just starting to get over Jordan leaving the last time. I hope that he gets punked out every freaking game.
