What part of that is difficult to understand??? The classic players that were rated, I agree some rated much lower or higher than they should be, are players that are in the game....Mateen Cleaves (I am a huge MSU fan) is not in the game...Shaq, not there either....Should be but isn't..

It was the 1982 title game. And that team was James Worthy's team. Jordan was a little known freshmen who hit a big shot(open shot, because G'town doubled off him). How did 1983 and 1984 go? Any titles? His collegiate career was nothing special. Jordan was the greatest TEAM player ever? Um, hell no he wasn't. Magic Johnson or Bill Russell hold that title. Do you know ANYTHING about Jordan? Prior to his title years this guy was a complete ballhog and bashed the shit out of all his teammates. When they asked him about making his teammates better, he'd say get me better teammates. If MJ was the greatest college player, he would have been the #1 pick regardless of position.
