There was a good article by Adrian Wojnarowski suggesting just that. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=Aikq...o&type=lgns It's been over 10 years since he retired (The Wizards years never happened as far as I'm concerned), and there's still just no way to 100% put into words or fully describe his overall impact on the game, sports and society in general. I was hoopin' at the park the other day and some kid, who couldn't have been anymore than 10 years old, was sticking out his tongue and doin' Jordan's famous fist pump as he drove to the basket and after made baskets. This kid should be mimicking Kobe or Lebron. Not a guy who was just about retired from the game before he was even born.

lostfan Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 My Facebook status earlier said they may as well just rename the whole thing "Michael Jordan Basketball Hall of Fame" and then we start talking about Jordan's impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangercal Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) So I get the NY feed for tonights Bulls-Knicks game and apparently Larry Hughes is making a big fuss about Pax not sending him a courtesy call and only a text(when he was traded to NY). The Knicks pregame team were siding with Hughes to the point where they were questioning the Bulls Organization as a whole.

rangercal Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Walt Frazier's pick for Rookie of The Year is OJ Mayo His reason is because mayo is a better shooter than Rose. Maybe so, but I will still take Rose's 47.1 fg % over Mayo's 43.4 fg% (even though I know this is due to better shot selection and drives to the hoop rather than high volume 3pt shots Mayo takes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm calling it right now. He can't do anything but chuck up shots. He makes a lot of them, but he's a one dimensional player.

He also is a great play-maker. Thing is, he has a poor squad with and Rudy isnt anywhere as good as last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Grizzlies fans. You got to watch him play and you realize that he's had a year where his impact on the game is Luol Deng like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he's terrible, but his impact is that of when Luol Deng was even having decent games. Somehow at the end of the game, he ends up with his stats, but no one knows how he exactly got them outside a few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be huge and as has been mentioned on the broadcast many times. the 76ers have a tough schedule to the finish. I think it's 1.5 games out though, not .5.
