Prince or King, it doesn’t matter, James will never be Jordan
Yesterday I heard the comments Michael Jordan made about the Lebron show and the “super team” the Miami Heat are creating.
ESPN caught up with Jordan at a celebrity golf course. This is what he had to say.
“There’s no way, with hindsight, I would’ve ever called up Larry [Bird], called up Magic [Johnson] and said, ‘Hey, look, let’s get together and play on one team,’” Jordan said.
This could be biased, since I have been a Bulls fan since I was four years old, but James will never be Jordan. He doesn’t have the competitive edge that stand players like Jordan apart from the rest. LBJ is a great athlete and a good basketball player, but it ends there.
Stoudemire a Knick…can he lure another free agent?
Stoudemire is a five time all-star and is revered as an explosive low post scorer. By signing him, the Knicks have a little more leverage to get guys such as LeBron James or Dwyane Wade.
Phil Jackson might leave the basketball world for good
Jackson left the Bulls more than 10 years ago, but I’ll always remember him as the Bulls coach, not the Lakers. At 64, Jackson has had medical issues. Lets face it, it will happen to all of us. No one is immortal. The problem is, with him out of the picture, who will be the main dominant coach in the NBA?
Kobe is not better than MJ
Quickly, the Los Angeles Lakers are once again the NBA champions. The Boston Celtics played tough and made this series great, but the Lakers had too much for the Celtics aging roster.
Besides Rajon Rondo being younger and faster than Derek Fisher, the Lakers had the advantage at every other position. The argument can be made with Paul Pierce being better than Ron Artest. Pierce had better stats, but Artest’s defensive pressure was a defying element of the Lakers taking the championship. Pierce is also the Celitcs first option, while Artest is fourth or fifth behind Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom.
Now to the reason I’m writing this.
Research Proves Wade Wrong on comments about Managments Loyalty Toward Players
I have been doing some research after Dwyane Wade made comments about the Chicago Bulls organization having loyalty issues since Michael Jordan is no longer involved. Wade said Pippen too, but we can argue the claim later.
His statement sparked some interest to see if any players have worked for the team after retirement. I knew John Paxson, Johnny Red Kerr, Norm Van Lier and a few others had returned to work with the Bulls, but I didn’t know the full lineup.
Norm Van Lier
I contacted the Chicago Bulls office, and exchanged emails with Bull’s public relations man, Shaun Hickenbottom. He was able to give me a lengthy list of ex-players who work or have worked within the organization or have been an ambassador for the Bulls in the community.
