re-BIRD/JORDAN COMPARISON

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

Unfortunately Bird never had or has Jordan's personality. Jordan's an
extrovert, Bird almost an introvert. Larry always looks pissed off. Jordan
has class and charisma. Much easier to market. Bird never made himself very
available to the media.
