Who's the best player in the NBA today? LeBron James has that title almost by consensus. You're pushing it a little if you said Kevin Durant. Kobe Bryant? He's a great, but him being the greatest player right now is debatable—highly debatable. But if you really wanted to make an argument, you could say, "Hey man, Michael Jordan said so back in February. What? You're going to argue against a man with six rings?"
Fair enough, but since Bryant is still out with that Achilles injury and may not ever be the same, he surely isn't the best player right now. That's something even Jordan acknowledged in a recent talk with the Associated Press:
None
We'd also have to say Jordan doesn't have that much credibility on judging talent to begin with. Why? Becaue Kwame Brown. You're better off paying attention for if he's coming back...which he also touched oun:
None
So not only he shut down our hopes. He sort of made it look silly that we were speculating about his return to begin with. An epic comeback after a 50-year-old dunks on some little kids? C'mon guys.
