Spielberg would never...

This just in: Michael Jordan wanted to BEAT Bird and Johnson, not join them. The silliest story in basketball gained momentum again as MJ claimed that he wouldn't have joined his rivals, but rather, he wanted only to defeat and humiliate them. First, let me point out that LeBron did not join Bird and Magic. Which one of these two is Chris Bosh (maybe the 4th or 5th best power forward in the league) supposed to be? Wade is one of the better players around today, but again, is neither Larry Bird nor Magic Johnson. Second, LeBron is not Michael. This is a false comparison and one that needs to end. The only things they share in common are the number 23 (...), playing in the midwest, and having the most enjoyable, pure athleticism of anyone around them. Other than that, they are different: LeBron is a nice person, Michael is not. Michael is incredibly competitive, LeBron is not. I could discuss how LeBron would never cheat on his wife the way MJ did, or the way that LeBron would never retire n times to play different sports, or that LeBron never had to push someone to make a humongous shot, but I won't (Cicero!). Instead, I'll point out how silly this all is. This is akin to criticising Spielberg for never directing movies in Japanese that take various Shakespearean works and place them in ancient, samurai-filled Japan. While true, it is completely irrelevant and takes away from the issue at hand. LeBron is not Jordan, Spielberg is not Akira, and Chris Bosh is not Gasol, let alone Larry Bird.
