composure, focus, timing...

[LakersSpirit]

Just watching ESPN Classic T.V.... Those old All-Star Games... [I like the red, and white uniforms, not confusing].

What comes out at me, is Michael Jordan's poise, confidence, focus, and timing... This is something that I see today's young players trying to emulate, but you just can't top the original... This is what I see lacking, in today's Lakers... Plus, I see alot more teamwork. There's a difference, between pretending to be, and the real article, which comes naturally [...with some constant practice].

One of the biggest differences, that I see, is that MJ had a special "feel", for the basket... MJ seemed to always know where the basket was. Sometimes, I wonder if the reason we don't see as much focus, composure, and timing, is because players don't want to work as hard, to reach that next level, as individuals, and as a team... Maybe, they just want to sell shoes, and get out, with a nice "nest-egg", and retire.
