Washed Up Player Hoop Theater: 1986 NBA Playoffs, MJ scores 63 against the Celts



It's been almost 10 years since his Airness hung up his kicks (yes, I'm not counting the Washington Wizard experiment back in 02-03; as far as I'm concerned, that didn't happen). What's most aggravating in the time that's passed is the "MJ" comparison us fans get every time a new, talented player jumps on the scene (See: Kobe, Lebron, D-Wade, Carmelo, Durant, etc.). It was bad enough that when LBJ had that nutty game to eliminate the Pistons last spring in the Eastern Conference Finals, some said the baton had been passed.

I say watch this video and come to my side of thinking: NO ONE will ever be as great as the original "23".
