Gotta love judging a guy completely based on his skin color and not his game.

Uggh, don't remind me. About 50% of the people on this board, and 99.9% of all non-Celtic fans were using that comparison too, which drove me and others freakin' insane. I remember many long posts in draft threads by several different posters about how stupid a comparison it is on every level, which would ineveitably be ignored and followed by countless more "I saiz go Morryson cuz u cantz pass da next lrry biard!!!!!" Or slightly more intelligent posters trying to draw some assinine comparison based on each players' "will to win" parroted directly from the hacks at ESPN.[/rant]

Well, I view comparisons as a a comparison in the style of the players game, not the skills.
