Gah, Bleacher Report.

And for the record, Jordan wasn't Jordan until he started winning.

Not quite sure that is 100% accurate. Jordan sold like 100 million shoes when they released the first Air Jordans long before he won anything significant (besides an olympic gold medal). And unless you are talking about championships he went to the playoffs every year he played so he won from day 1 basically.

Titles made Jordan who he ultimately is today.

That said--Cam has won more to this point in his career than Jordan did dating back to college and his rookie year.

Jordan won a NC in college and actually went to the playoffs his rookie year. So I am not sure I agree with that either :o

Nah, a lot of people saw him as a flawed scorer and he was pretty disliked by other players (including the "freeze out" in the all-star game). He went to the playoffs every year because everybody goes to the playoffs in the NBA. I don't think he got over .500 in his first 3 seasons and got knocked out in the first round.

I don't think he sold 100 million shoes his rookie year, but I'm not a big shoe guy.

Yeah, that isn't true. Jordan had NCAA championship. Jordan was bigger than Cam is now after a year in professional sports.....much bigger.

the freeze out was no different than Cam being the only QB to be roughed up in a Pro Bowl game....since when....dinosaurs roamed the Earth?

Cam ain't in Jordan's league yet. Not comparing year 1 to year 1 in the books. Jordan was more dominate and just bigger in general.

Jordan was pretty huge even before he won all his rings... they made Jordan the legend he is today (people have called him the best player ever to play any sport, whatever that means), but he basically entered the league and was immediately one of the best players in the game at a time the league was STOCKED with talent. He wasn't JUST a scorer, he was also a good defender, and while you are right they lost early in the playoffs, they were playing the Celtics early on, and later the Pistons, and he was the only reason that team was anywhere at all.

I don't think Cam is in Jordan's league yet... but I'll look forward to when he is.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
