Remember those days...hooping in the rain, sleet, snow, mud...hooping with Timbalands and boots on....trying to hoop after an ankle, foot, knee, or finger surgery or fracture...I remember once I was hooping with some homies during a storm and we only quit playing when lightening struck the backboard. :lol
I say all that to say this....you can tell the truly great players, those who play for the love of the game and not the money....those who will play anywhere at anytime...This is what I respect the most about MJ and Kobe....and I begrudgingly suspect Timmy is this way as well since he's trying to play through bad knees :lol...but MJ played all those years for basically peanuts...and it wasn't until I think the last 2 -3 yrs he was actually paid his worth. He played for the Love of the game which is a rare quality these days...
Now my real point in all of this is simple: ( Lebron and Shaq seem like the same kind of players) not in it for the Love of the game.
