Now I'm a Knicks fan, but in doing some thinking I have stumbled upon an interesting revelation that could be a little frightening for Eastern Conference fans.

Consider this:

Steve Kerr/ Damon Jones: Decent enough point guards who can bury threes like it's no one's business.

Michael Jordan/ Lebron James: Godly athletes who are by far the best offensive players in the league. Born team leaders.

Scottie Pippen/Larry Hughes: Excellent defenders and versatile scorers who are comfortable playing second fiddle in an offense. Team players.

Dennis Rodman/ Drew Gooden: Hard-nosed PF's who rebound well and can score. Good defenders.

Luc Longley/ Zydrunas Ilgauskus: Really tall, foreign, white guys who can hit jump shots. Rebound well enough.

Toni Kukoc/ Donyell Marshall: Better than average sixth men with great three point range and accuracy for their height. Clutch scorers.

Jud Buechler/ Luke Jackson: Goofy guys who can hit threes... and nothing else.

Dickey Simpkins/ Ira Newble: Guys with ridiculous names who stink at pretty much everything.

Now throw in the fact that MJ and Lebron share the number 23, Rodman and Gooden both have numbers in the 90's, and the similarities are just eerie.

If Phil Jackson wants another champship, why didn't he get on board with these guys!?
