I saw him cut teams up when they tried to double him, all without freakish size to rely on to get to the hoop, which will increase your shooting %. Didn't have freakish size yet can dominate in the post. Constantly sets up teammates for open shots because he has 2-3 people chasing him, even now, Doesn't get rattled if he misses some shots, hit shots I have never seen anybody else hit, the best "bad" shot shooter I have ever seen. Those are not bad shots for him, makes it seem routine to where you believe anything he throws up has a chance. His overall skills are just off the hook, probably the most SKILLED player ever, that's why he has played for as long as he has. Even won titles with mangled fingers and knees that had to be drained during the playoffs. His kind will be missed and only comes around once in a generation. He is a throwback. Had to learn how to subjugate his game to play with Shaq. Not everybody could have won with Shaq, contrary to popular belief. Ain't that right Penny. He had to be Magic Jordan every game. "He needs to get everybody involved and take over in the 4th". He did more with less, meaning without freakish size that can cover up certain skill deficiencies.
I got plenty more but don't ask me again.
