MichaelJordan Still A Cut Above

It is always fun when you can compare different players it really sparks a lively debate. Maybe one of the best debates is who is better Kobe, Lebron, or Michael Jordan.The other day my son come home and asked me who I thought was better. He proceeded to tell me that he thought Lebron James was the best and that Kobe was second. I told him all three are great players, but without a doubt it is Michael Jordan. He asked me to explained which I gladly did.

First off all three are really good players, but Michael Jordan stands above them for a couple of reasons. First Jordan played great defense all the time.You would not see him take plays off like Kobe and Lebron does sometimes. Now I will admit both of these players are getting better on the defensive end, but no Jordan. The second thing that really made Jordan stand out is her rarely missed a free throw or a clutch shot. You knew if he had the ball in his hand it was game,set, and match. This is how good Jordan was and I just do not see either Bryant or Lebron ever reaching that height. I could be wrong, but only time will tell.

A-Rod The Billion Dollar Man?

Scott Boras the agent of A-Rod think he can play to the age of 45 years old and set records such as 1,000 home runs and also have the all-time hit record. What's A-Rod worth than around one billion if you crunch Scott Boras numbers. In a perfect world that maybe true, but we don't live in a perfect world. A-Rod has become non-existent in the playoffs so in turn should never be paid that kind of money.

Let's really be realistic in this whole scenario. The only player I've ever seen in modern day sports that is worth that kind of money simply put was Michael Jordan. Jordan put up numbers in the regular season and when the playoffs got their he was in another gear. A-Rod just hasn't done that. Be happy with what you have now A-Rod. Until you prove it to America in the clutch your just another high paid superstar that delivers in the regular season and not the post season.
