Apples and Oranges

[gene kirkpatrick]

I interrupt my reading of this discussion to state my firm belief that Al is better than O'Neal right now.  Sure, if they were on the same team, you would start O'Neal but you would see Al doing things (mainly on offense) that JO can't do.  Do any of you remember the games when Al overwhelmed JO last year, or again early this year?  Al is better offensively than JO is defensively right now.  Sure Al has to fill in the gaps of his defensive game, but we're looking at a superior talent in Al and that can be seen already--the preceding is an opinion based on watching Al eat JO's lunch in various games.  Furthermore, Al has the desire that JO doesn't seem to be able to call upon.  Sometimes, I think you trade potential for actual, but not Al's level of potential.  Let's recall this thread next December and note Al's progress.  I've seen enough to crown him.  Now, back to reading your interesting discussion.  Gene
