No offense meant, but were you watching BBall during the MJ era? SP needed CONSTANT baby sitting throughout...even during the championship seasons. Always complaining about his role, always leaking comments about how horrible MJ was in practice.....it felt like MJ had to drag him kicking & screaming into being a competitive player. I googled SP stats earlier and came across several bio pages for him. His history/role has been drastically rewritten to paint him in a very different light from the whining brat he was for most of his career.
