the media needs its stories to dish for ratings/revenue. they hyped him from the start and created the new overman for basketball, and he gave it all the finger and decided to play with his friends. fully supported him then and now cause he's having fun, winning more, and raking in tons of cash (proly literally if weighed out). that whole episode was bs grandstanding from anyone who didn't want to read the reality, but consume the story...my cynical two cents on that. will he be better than jordan?, depends on how people want to see the comparison, and bill russell is the best ever. the rings argument...robert horry has more rings than jordan...

I was listening to an Open Court discussion on NBA TV where they were talking about Legacies, I think that was the name of the episode "Legacy" where one of the guys said it's almost impossible to compare players to players when they have never played against one another.
Instead he went on to say that the best player argument is generational, IE people that watched Michael is his prime will always think he is the best. A lot of us now watched Michael.. but lets say 15 years... 25 years from now... will Michael still be held that high? who knows.
