First of all - I hate myself for posting unconfirmed reports in my own "Confirmed Reports" thread. But that went out the window a long time ago. We are on page 2 of this thread and all I can confirm is that you people are animals! And I mean that in the nicest way possible.
This is why we can't have nice things.
As for the MJ story - we aren't talking about 90% of the NBA. We are talking about the greatest player ever. Kobe started as a Freshman. LeBron started as a Freshman. Earvin Johnson had already earned the nickname Magic by his Sophomore season. The greats ALL played early. Except one.
So yes - it is interesting that the greatest of all time couldn't get on the floor with the varsity squad until his junior season.
