What More Can They Say About Jordan? Oh, a Little

Regarding the brilliance of Michael Jordan, I have just two words (well, maybe more) for those still in denial: Magic Who? Larry Who? Wilt Who? Bill Russell Who? Kareem Abdul-Who? Doctor Who? Karl Who? and Isiah Who? C’mon, this is a game we all can play! Pick a player, and I’ll tell you Michael’s better.

The Utah Jazz is only one player away from an NBA championship. His name is Michael Jordan.

What sort of thought-out, deeply professional commentary did I get from the print and broadcast media over the past week? After Game 1, a home game won by the Jazz, which was fully expected: “The Bulls are in trouble.” “Bulls really have to work to get back into this series.” After Game 2: “Utah’s in trouble.” “The Jazz have their work cut out for them.” Game 3: “It’s over.” “Jazz might as well go home.” Game 4: “Karl Malone is disgusting. Hall of Famer? He’s a disgrace.” Game 5: “The Bulls really have to prove themselves now.” Game 6: “It’s over.”

Hey, they finally got one right.

When the Bulls lose, the L.A. Times says they’re old and tired. When they win, The Times says, haven’t we had enough Bulls’ championships?

What do you want?

After watching Game 6 of the NBA finals, I feel that the MVP award should be split three ways: Dick Bavetta, Hue Hollins and Danny Crawford.

If the NFL doesn’t like reinstating instant replay, maybe the NBA should consider adopting it.
