    Correction (if I may). Manu does all the other things too. But only when needed.
    He gets to do those things because he has a guy named Tim Duncan in the middle. Who did MJ have in the middle?

    your take is getting worse and worse by the minute. Manu is not improving?
    He's not "young and improving" compared to guys like LeBron and Wade. It's not that difficult to understand what I'm saying.

    By the way, to the sports writer: Isn't it said "he's not young NOR improving"?

    I'll agree to that. His style/approach to the game is very different from MJ's.

    if the spurs did not press the issue would manu have even made the allstar game this year?

    not saying he did not deserve to go.
    I think manu has peaked this year

    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?
    Yes and that's what I did say. I used the All-Star game as an example (which I knew beforehand would get misconstued).

    No, because I didn't mean "NOR." I meant he's not "young and improving."

    he's not right out of high school, but he's improving.

    The young part you might be right. But how do you know he won't keep improving next year. He's been improving every year, why should this stop now?

    Even if Manu did awesome in the game I don't think it would make a difference in my judgement of him as a player. But thats just me.

    Here to make it clearer for you ... I'm saying he's not BOTH young AND improving, like guys like LeBron and Wade. In other words, we are not going to see Manu getting better and better for five plus years and get to the point of being with the likes of MJ. 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.

    So then he can be "old and improving"? Or "young and getting worse"? Or something like that. Please help, I thought there was no way around your point. Much better then.

    No it's like this.

    Manu is not young but is still improving. Players don't hit their peak till about 28. So Manu is barely rising to his prime.

    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.... Tony Delk had a 50 point game.

    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.

    Princess is feeling the wrath of the Manu Defenders. If you don't say that Manu is the best human ever created, you are bound to get bashed into submission.

    God is Good, God is Great
    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.

    All of this is just too damned funny! Obviously game one can't start soon enough.

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

    Your argument is that he's not even close to being a superstar, I'm telling you he's a superstar right now because of his performance in the playoffs not some crappy all-star game. He's not michael jordan, but he's a freak in his own right and clutch as . I'll make this clearer for you, without Manu the spurs are at home and don't win in '03 either.
