      Jordan had only 2 all stars and hall of famers to play with his entire career and during his title runs (Rodman had hall of Fame numbers before going to Bulls).
      During Brady's time in New England, he had a pro bowler and hall of famer at one time or another at almost every position and on both sides of the ball.
      I hated Brady most of hide career, but we're the same age, so I respect his will to win, but Brady's had a ton of talent to back him up.

    I fondly recall pre-season against the Jazz. 1984-85 season. Tickets on the floor at the old Chicago Stadium were $25 each. We arrived early to watch the pre-game workouts. Rookie MJ shooting jumpers. I shagged a rebound for him. Then watched him destroy the Jazz. No one knew what he would become. The NBA was a mess back then. Cocaine ran the show. Orlando Woolridge should have been Scottie Pippen, and was for a time, before the cocaine took him down. I am fortunate to have witnessed the birth of the Bulls dynasty. This will never happen again. Picasso on the circus-floor hardwood. Lessons learned and legends made. Amen.

    MJ's measurables (jumping ability, speed, agility, etc.) would still have him in the top 1% in today's NBA. Then you add the huge hands, footwork and fundamentals. Add to that the intangibles (competitiveness, creativity, clutchness, etc.). And finish it up with the aesthetics (the beauty of his game). It's as close to perfection as you can get when it comes to being a basketball player.

    I love to hear when the "greats" like Kareem throw low shade at MJ. Yet folks like Kareem forgot that MJ was only 6'6" tall and did way way more for the NBA than the likes of Kareem. MJ redefined the NBA unlike any other player. I saw both play in their prime and Kareem was nothing special to watch. As a matter of fact, Hakeem Olajuwon was way more exciting to watch and to me a much better player, especially given that Kareem grew up in the US vs. Hakeem in Nigeria where basketball was not popular. Hakeem was a force! Imagine a team with MJ, Hakeem, Scottie, Gary Payton, and Isaiah Thomas; no combo of players of any era would beat such a team.
