Did you wathc ESPN classic Canada last night? I'm not sure if you get it or not. But anyways. They showed Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Bulls and Suns. What a game!!!! Whatching basketball being played back then makes you realize what crap the NBA is serving these days. And this was only 10 yrs ago. What has changed this?? Well I do know and I'm sure you do too so I won't get into it.

If there was any worry in my mind about Kobe's ascension to MJ's crown, it has been vanquished. It's amazing how quickly one can forget about MJ's skills. MJ was unbelievable in that game. For three quarters he would chill and let his teammates get involved, but by the 4th quarter if they haven't done anything, which they didn't, he would take over which is what he did against the Suns, or more specifically against 'Thunder' Dan Marjele and Frank Johnson. Jordan had 42 pts as well as Barkley, but once again, what separates Jordan from others is that he scores his points when it counts. Like he did many times over the years including those finals.

I will say it again, and say it proud. Michael Jordan is the best there ever is, the best there ever was and the best there ever will be.

Wesley out!

Wes hit the mark on the general difference in the decade...but missed the target on His Airness. As a Bulls fan that watched 100s of reg season games, I can assure U that on many nites he wasnt even the best player on his TEAM! He may be the best athlete to play the game, but not even in the top 20 as a basketball player. He is of course # 1 in league and media hype.
