Sydney Morning Herald Compares Jackson And Jordan

Friday's Sydney Morning Herald has a two-pager that compares Lauren Jackson to Michal Jordan ("Jackson the Jordan of women's game, minus the moolah"):

He was, and remains, a multi-million dollar brand. She spends her off-seasons playing in Europe or Asia to supplement her income from the game. In terms of earnings they are worlds apart - but close comparisons between Michael Jordan and Lauren Jackson are legitimate when it comes to the game, according to Andrew Gaze. ...

Gaze, Australia's best ever male player, was clear when asked yesterday if suggestions that Jackson is to women's basketball what Jordan was to men's are an exaggeration.

My respect and admiration for Lauren is pretty well established, and it definitely annoys me when people dismiss her simply because there's a "W" in front of her league's initials.

The article lists her numerous achievements; take a peek and decide for yourself.

(Tip o' the hat to Women's Hoops Blog for the link.)
