I think the BIGGEST problem is his teammates just don't have the drive that he always had. And like him or not, I'd be lying if I didn't say he was simply incredible in his day, but that day is LONG in the past. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 8:18 AM Subject: Re: Odp: Re: Odp:Re: NCR: basketball > He's not doing well enough to make a difference, IMHO.
