    Before peeps rip me, I know there is & will only be one of a kind MJ, but the more I see Manu play, especially his performance in the Olympics & this season during the reg season & playoffs, he reminds me a lot of MJ.

    He reminds me of MJ in his style of play, his compe ive nature & drive, wanting the ball in crunch time, creating & delivering, the numerous BIG plays he's come up with on both OFF & DEF & his humbleness about it all.

    His circus shots that make you go WOW just like MJ used to, whether you hate him or not. I have a feeling before it's all said & done, that people will be mentioning MG in the same breathe as MJ!

    There's no next MJ. Manu isn't even close to that level.

    Did you notice at the All-Star game that Manu wasn't even at the same level as some (most?) of the other All-Stars on the court? Manu is flashy and he's damn good, but I don't think he's close to superstar status.

    No.

    Manu prefers driving, but MJ has a way better jumper. Manu barely takes mid-range shots. Manu only has 2 attacks: driving to the whole, and the 3 pointer...I'm not saying that's a bad thing, it deffinetly works.

    MJ could do it all...

    What do you consider a superstar?

    Name players that are superstars, and players in the category right before "superstar"

    He shows flashes of being great/superstar. PHX 48pts, Denver series. He just doesn't do conssistently enough. He'll be lucky if he gets another allstar.

    Not MJ, but he is going to be a top 5 draw in the NBA in 2 yrs, as far as jersey sales, and endorsement contracts.

    Sure, but it's a long list you'd be adding him to. Kobe, TMac, Grant Hill, Vince Carter, Dwyane Wade, etc. Have I missed anyone?

    Please don't tell me you count the Allstars to grade a player's level.

    The only other player I've seen that made me think of MJ, was Kobe & the stuff that guy did on the court. How he would take over games & his circus type shots.

    MG this season is like watching MJ, you just sit there screaming @ the TV "Give the ball to MG!" & just sit with anticipation trying to figure out what move he's going to pull off next.

    I disagree.

    It seems that Manu has only gotten more popular than he was before the all-star game. He's been on a bunch of commercials, his team is back in the finals, he's getting all this media attention, so I think he will be an all-star next year.

    No, I was giving an example. I count the 5-10 NBA games a week that I watch to grade a player's level.

    The next off the map superstar name belongs to Wade, Lebron or Ben Gordon. Ginoboli is to out of control.

    Manu did belong in the All Star game and did blend in with those players. He was better than half of those so called superstars.

    Someday, someone is going to be asking "Who's the Next Manu?".

    Maybe, but none of those players have excelled in leading their team to a championship(yet). Manu has a chance to do it this year and the next few as well.

    He'd have to average 25+, hit multiple game winning shots, and win at least 5 les. Plus, it isn't his team, which will hurt him...

    Sorry man, but being a HUGE Manu fan I have to say you are INSANE. Seriously dude, get professional help.

    Kori, I'm not sure what you mean. If you compare Manu with other guards, I would probably put him behind only Kobe, Wade and Lebron. I would never say Allen, T Mac or Carter. Those are players with no heart that only care about money and looking good. I would keep a warrior like Manu every day of the week.
    Sorry to hear you wouldn't.

    I bet if you told this to Manu, he would probably say " no."

    Manu's favorite player as a kid was MJ.

    I remember before the all-star game, Manu was on a post game interview, and the reporter asked him about how he feels that he might be an all-star...
    Manu responded: "Even if I don't get chosen as an all-star, I'm very proud of myself for even being considered being all-star." ...or something like that.

    He is not the next MJ.
    There is only one MJ, just like ther is only 1 Dr.J, Bird, Magic, etc.
    they can never be equaled, each is on different platform.

    BUT: Manu is sure on his way to being a basketball GOD. Maybe not at ^^that level^^
    but prretty near too. He is amazing, and still has time (age wise) to improve nad build his skills thru experiance.

    Cool, 'cause even he said it, he shines brightest when there is the need to win. He was actually pretty pissed off when he played in the Rookie All-stars, and those fools turned the game into a dunk contest.

    He'll probably won't give a damn if he ever plays another allstar game.
