In a hall of his own

John Stockton and David Robinson were great, Michael Jordan was the greatest.
At 3:30 p.m.(PT) today, these three will be enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame as this might be the most memorable ceremony ever.
Today, the greatest basketball player of all-time will finally be formally recognized as such.
The man who is a world-wide icon, will finally take his spot in basketball greatness.
Having to wait five years, only by hall of fame rules, but he was a hall of famer from the first time he blessed the court with his presence.
Loved by many, hated by few, respected by all. That cliche applies non better than to Mr. Jordan.
He'll be joined by maybe two players who have the most reason to hate him. John Stockton never won a championship because of him, and Robinson had to wait for him to take a break before he won his.
Jordan embarrassed both equally; he embarrassed all equally. No one matched his level of play and maybe no one ever will.
No one will ever do all that Jordan did.
No one can blend the iconic status on and off the floor the way he did. That's what makes him the greatest.
Five will be inducted, but only one will be the most memorable.
It almost isn't fair for the rest to go in at the same time as Jordan; not only becuase he should be remembered alone, but because no one might remember the rest of them going in.
Jordan was his own man, and probably should have gone in by himself. Would it have been unfair to the rest? To some degree, yes, but Michael deserves it. To have anyone mentioned in the same breath is almost criminal.
I love our players of today, and on any other day I'd argue for my hometown hero in the city of angels, but today reality has its time to fly, and it must fly with "air" Jordan.
