Message: [QUOTE="homer the dog, post: 3856954, member: 7607"] The way i look at it there hasn't been player in basketball like Paige since Bird retired, High praise indeed, but consider. Both: Beyond fundamentally sound Both clutch Both great shooters Both great leaders Great teammates Are without peer as passers Make others around them better Statistics don't begin to measure their total/true value Same work ethic Play hard Seek out the best competition Court vision Court smarts will go on the floor And still there's more to both of them i that they have an indescribable something (like a hand emerged from the heavens and touched them) that allows them to play in a different dimension than most other people. Comparisons are just not fair Like Bird said "I ain't much in the classroom but put me on a basketballl court and I'm an A+ student." Now Geno needs to find the next Bill Walton [/QUOTE]
