Totally different sport with a hitter and fielder not usually having the impact of a pitcher like Koufax or Gibson. In basketball, a great player can take over a game or a series or a season. It's one of five players and you can touch the ball every possession and pass, shoot or do whatever. The Splinter wasn't up every at bat. Not every ball was hit to him in right field. In basketball, you want to be the greatest, you gotta win the biggest prizes. The greatest players do. Stockton and Barkley were great but they were not the greatest. Barkley himself in his MVP season said he thought he was the greatest player in the league until they played MJ in the Finals. Paige is only on Second Mountain with Bird and Charles in my book unless she wins multiple crowns. Right now she is tied with Kara Wolters and Jenn Rizzotti for NPOY awards. I'm not ready to put a crown on her head yet. She has to earn it. [/QUOTE]
