There is a club of players that are strikingly similar. With the players intent or not, this club may be larger than you think. Let me put it in perspective for you.
Shaq is strong and dominant but so was Wilt Chamberlain
Kobe Bryant admits that he purposively copied Michael Jordan’s game
Jerry Lucas was a exceptional rebounder, and then Dennis Rodman proceeded him
Spud Webb defied gravity before Nate Robinson ever one the dunk contest
I’m not trying to take away from the players, because some are exceptional, but a great player is one that is not only exceptional but also original. And only a select few players belong to that club. Here’s a hint:
B.R, L.J, J.E ..
There is history and soul of other players in each player that steps foot on the court. History is repetition. It is not a surprise that there are drastic similarities between each of these stars. There are many more who have an equally established relationship with eachother. It would be great to see you dig into that more I am sure it will bring incredible interest.
ReplyDeleteGreat players are great leaders. Great leaders produce followlers and those followlers become leaders and continue the cylcle.
