Like I said, It's never been a big preoccupation of mine... but there was a level of, dare I say, artistry to Jordan's playing during those years that made it kind of magical to behold. Kind of like watching Bill Clinton at politics. You realize you're seeing a genuine one-of-a-kind phenomenon.

And thanks for the kind words. Right back at ya.
