He's a poor man's MJ, which is a helluva compliment.

He's a poor man's MJ, which is a helluva compliment.
He gets to do those things because he has a guy named Tim Duncan in the middle. Who did MJ have in the middle?Quote:

not saying he did not deserve to go.
I think manu has peaked this year
Yes and that's what I did say. I used the All-Star game as an example (which I knew beforehand would get misconstued).Quote:
Isn't it more accurate to say that through watching the 82games that Manu is a borderline all star, as opposed to the actual game?
No, because I didn't mean "NOR." I meant he's not "young and improving."Quote:

After a couple more years, Manu will begin to decline, not just because of his age but because of exhaustion of his type of play.Quote:

Too many posts arguing who's better, Manu or Jordan...earlier in the season it was Manu vs Kobe and now he graduates to this level of comparison....man...I'm tired of reading this nonsense. He's good...but Jordan.....1 48 point game isn't going to do it....hell Tony Delk had a 50 point game.
:lol Beware of the Church of Manu, Kori. I've had to experience it myself, and it wasn't pretty.
If you actually read the thread, you'd see that everyone agrees the comparison and this thread is stupid.Quote:

We thank Him for our Manu
Yeah, chill out people. Manu is good for you? Great, now don't try to be the Manu's witnesses and convert other people. If they don't want to believe it's their choice.

You mean Jordan can be a dominate presense of every minute of the game, Manu cannot.Quote:
