Yeah, I wasnt growing up in the Showtime era or I was too young to watch basketball. But does any vet know if Marion will have a chance to be the next James Worthy? They are both excellent finisher in fast breaks and they both can sky th sky?

decent comparison. I think Worthy had a more reliable J. But the Matrix still might get even better. Good comparison.

So all are new aged fans?

Marion doesn't remind me of Big Game James too much. Worthy was not a superb rebounder at all and Marion is. They both finish well and that is about the only thing in favor of relating one to the other.

Worthy could glide & finish like Drexler and they were more alike than Worthy & Marion, IMHO.

worthy was a much better offensive player. marion much better on defense and the boards. similarities in athleticism and size, although i'd say worthy had more of both.
