Comparisons

[Steelerone]

My favorite has always been Mantle Mays and Snider as the best centerfielder in NY
The day the music died was the day my Dodgers left Brooklyn. I don't want him in hell but I hope Walter O'Malley is the unhappiest man in heaven.

Making comparisons in all things is not only a natural condition of humanity, IMO it's also really critical.

It is in essence delving into history - using the past to make hopefully better decisions for the future.

For my money, I wish our political leaders were more willing to look at history before they make some of their decisions that turn out to be rather disastrous for the country.

Diana, Sue, Maya, Stewie....all unique; really unlike any other...
Same in the pros...Cousy, Sharman, Mamba, Wilt....could go on.

Did things their own way; really impossible to compare except for cold stats.

Even sub-greats...Will we ever see a teeny-tiny like MoJeff intersect with the trees so effectively and fearlessly?

Perhaps not.

In regards to Sue....I have no idea who she was compared to, but my guess is that Jennifer Azzi was a commonly used comparison. Both were stellar shooters, great decision makers and pass first point guards. Azzi also had a really good pull up jumper. Both also ended up winning gold medals for their collegiate coaches and were POY winners on standout title teams. Later on in their careers, each also developed reputations for being ridiculously fit as older players. Not that it matters, but physically they look somewhat alike too.
