    The legend Karl Malone spoke about Michael Jordan:
    "Throughout my entire active career and what I have retired, I've never seen a more consistent playoff player, than Michael Jordan."
    "Instead of going down, in every playoff and in every final, his level and mentality rose more, I always noticed him relaxed, nothing bothered him at that time, he was always calm and focused on the game."
    "I think the real dangerous weapon Jordan possessed, was his mentality."

    Ask anybody besides the LeChoke jock riders and they agree. Historians of the game, former players, coaches, etc. Jordan is the GOAT! Your boy is top 10 easy; nothing more!

    You might think that human beings, exhausted by competing for resources and rewards in the real world, would take it easy and stick to cooperation in their spare time. But no; we are fascinated by competition, and invent games and sports to create artificial competition just for fun. These competitions turn out to be wonderful laboratories for exploring concepts like optimization, resource allocation, strategy, and human psychology.
