So how many players can you think of that were thought to be the next Jordan? Jordan 2.0. Micheal Jordan like. The list maybe longer than we imagined.
1. Reggie Williams. He was called a Micheal Jordan like player when he was coming out of Georgetown in 1987.

2. Harold "Baby Jordan" Miner. Two time dunk contest winner. I remember him at USC, he was a good scorer and super athletic. Just didn't do anything in the pros.

3. Jerry Stackhouse. He was compared to MJ coming out of High School.

4. Kobe Bryant. His whole game is an imitation of MJ.

5. DeShawn Stevenson. I was suprised with this one. But coming out of high school he was compared to MJ. The next MJ...ok.

These are just 5 examples. There are dozens upon dozens of these guys. Some of these guys are future HoF'ers but yet pretenders or imitators to MJ. Some people say it's a curse to be compared to MJ. Everyone falls short. I hated Jordan when he played, but once he retired I really learned to appreciate him.
