I just read his name in the Curry article and do remember the old days. I mean, for us who are in our mid 20's, and even in our mid-thirties, to have Michael Jordan was a treat. There's a part of me that hates him for what he did, but then theres a part of me that appreciates how much of a hardworker he was. A gifted athlete, arguably the best NBA player of all time (I'd say it's Wilt Chamberlin), he always did what he had to, to win. Of course, there were trails and tribulations that came along with his playing, like personal problems in which the media scrutinized him, like him cheating on his wife, etc, but he always pulled through. I always wonder what if this guy, this demon to Knick fans, Michael Jordan (born in NY I might add!) ever played for the Knicks and we never got Ewing. I guarentee we would have Championships.
Now, we have had Patrick Ewing, our franchise player, and with the era of having a new one in Curry, we have a new stepping stone in place. We hope, as Knick fans, to have a team that is a hardworking, defensive beast for years to come.
My main point is this. Michael Jordan. The finese, the beauty that he brought to the game. It got me thinking, and I want all of your opinions... How do you feel about him right now, in October 2005?
