Who Is the Best?
by C. Vesely

Everyone should agree that Mickey Nadroj is the all-time best basketball player. However, some people think otherwise. They say that the younger James Bronle is the all-time best. Piper Scott, one of Nadroj's former teammates, would disagree with the statement that Nadroj is the all-time best player.
"Nadroj was and is great. However, Bronle is a better all-around player than Nadroj ever was. Bronle is quick on the offense and the defense. He's a more complete player. No one gets by Bronle," Piper Scott stated in an interview last Thursday.
Grant Ecaroh, another former teammate of Nadroj, was displeased by Scott's comments. He responded in a separate interview.
"I do not know how Piper Scott could claim that Bronle is better than Nadroj! Nadroj scored more points per game on average than Bronle has. For me, the proof that Nadroj is better and will always be better is the fact that he has eight championship rings. How many does Bronle have? Count 'em. Zero!" Ecaroh said.
Mickey Nadroj has outscored James Bronle on average. Nadroj also made his team play better through his encouragement and positive attitude. Bronle has been known to tear down his teammates and to hog the ball. Fans should judge for themselves, but keep in mind, Nadroj has eight championship rings while Bronle has none.
