Michael Jordan vs. Vince Carter
In today's society, athletes are inevitably compared to one another, especially basketball players. It seems that every time a young player is introduced and demonstrates above average talent or has one spectacular game he is dubbed the next Michael Jordan. Vince Carter is one of those players, however his comparison to Michael has very few resemblance. There are numerous similarities between Jordan and Carter, however Carter has yet to prove himself the next Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan stands six feet six inches tall and weighs around 200 pounds. He sports a clean-shaven head and a marked grin on his face. Jordan is from North Carolina and attended the University of North Carolina. While a freshman at UNC, Jordan led the tarheels to a national championship, hitting the last second shot to win the game. Jordan left the University of North Carolina after his junior year and was selected third in the NBA draft, by the Chicago Bulls, which twice won 3 NBA titles in a row. Michael Jordan matured in the NBA and reached his maximum playing ability, that is why he is considered the greatest player of all time. Like Jordan, Vince stands six feet six inches tall and weighs about 200 pounds. He also has a clean-shav
Michael Jordan always had a calm demeanor on the basketball court as well as in his personal life. Even though he was always calm on the court, he was tremendously competitive. He knew what it took to win and he showed it throughout every game. Jordan knew that to be great you had to sacrifice your body for the team, and he demonstrated that during the playoffs in 1997. Jordan came down with the flu before the game, and although extremely ill, he played. During that game, he scored forty-five points and led the Bulls to the finals. As great as Jordan was he never acted as if he knew it, it was as if he did not have a sense of how good he really was. Basketball was just a game to him, a rather competitive game. However in order to be considered the next greatest player of all time you have to exhibit more than just moments, you have to dominate. Given time Vince Carter will develop into one of the greatest ever to play, time that he might not have if he is drilled with inconsiderable amounts of injuries. So for now Michael Jordan is still the greatest.
