My point was not that he was bad, just that he got so much better in his career as a pro.

You said he "wasn't that great". I'd say hitting the game-winning shot in the national championship as a freshman and being the consensus player of the year as a junior is pretty great.

OK I give! I would have been better saying high school vs. college or pro as I believe he could not even make the high school team. My point was simply when horses at 3 retire there's alot of potential improvement we never get to see.

I gotcha. Your analogy was accurate and well taken, I was just saying that Jordan was the wrong example.

Maybe he was thinking of the guy who played at Penn
