      - Yup. He was or is nearly the perfect player at his position. He was just a driving scorer when he entered the league. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 21, 15:01 1
        
        I just remember all those games where it was just blatantly obvious that he was not going to allow the team to lose. There is no way you can really - pmb Jul 21, 15:10
