The funny thing about EF and a players greatness...

[Hook'em Horns]

I came up with this as I read the post regarding the "insanity of Vincanity Peatros" as he pounded away on a guy who was a pretty strong coach and had a pretty strong team himself.

We all wonder how one may accumulate those kind of stats, we even question the legitamcy of the rules, the player and the opponent. We find it tough to give credit when credit is due because the story may sound unbelievable. But think of it this way...Would you have believed that Memphis would have beaten Texas in the elite 8 by 20 points? If someone called you during the first half of the Final Four and told you that Kansas was up by almost 30 points over UNC in the 1st half would you have believed them? Probably not. We are a "must see it with our own eyes" society. Had many believed Noah and got on that Ark when he said the floods were coming they would have been a lot better of. Lol (Hardly a comparison but you get my point).

I know we all want to see Mr. Vince. Frankly, I do myself and can't wait for the day! I have a burning drive to play this guy that everyone says is the best. However, I do believe what people say about him. I have no reason not to. It doesn't hurt me either way to believe it or not.

When a player is considered great one always questions the era in which he played. Would M.J. still be the best today in the era of showtime and the crossover? Would Kobe in his prime dominate M.J.? The truth is they are both great regardless of the era and/or what coast they play on. Vince will be great win, lose, or draw should he come east. Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone & Stockton all fell victim to M.J. but they are all great players. A loss will not tarnish a thing that Vince has accomplished nor will a loss tarnish anything that Norbert, myself, DC, Reg. Rutledge, Lavell Shelton has accomplished.

We all are asking Vince to come to the east coast...I'm sure he'd like to get a few of you in his back yard. Lol. I'm not defending Vince by any means. I don't even know the guy. I just see things from a very nuetral perspective. However, I do love the debate. I love it! I just wish that we would debate topics more rather than criticize, it would lead to much better message board rhetoric.
