re MJ

[Dan Forant <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

While agreeing with most of the statement, I believe Jordan's exceptional
play affects the rest of the team in a positive manner. It's called
confidence, because they know the man is always there. As a Celtic fan, I
must give credit where credit is due. Jordan is the all time great of all
time. There is absolutely nothing the man can't do. There is Michael
Jordan, then comes the other icons at a lower level.
