<\/p>\nWatching Australia run over team after team evoked vivid memories of my dislike for Michael Jordan in his heyday. It was deja vu all over again.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I disliked Mike for every wrong reason: <\/p>\n
It was clear Mike was the greatest, but being an LA Lakers die hard I was just having a hard time accepting that. That is until something strange happened one day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The day came when I was literally forced to say to myself yes he is great, maybe even the greatest like many say. It happened kind of subconsciously. <\/p>\n
The game started and I had my usual Anti-Jordan Attitude. And then it happened! In a flash my entire body and spirit had surrendered to the greatness before me. It was like a burden was lifted, and I moved from I “hate” Mike, to I love Mike.<\/p>\n
Well Australia the same thing to me again. I am a die hard Windies fan (and by the way … they are doing a damn good job of killing me slowly). But anyways, I did not want to admit that the Australian team was so powerful. But by the time they showed up at Grenada National Stadium with their Army of fans it was a foregone conclusion in my mind.<\/p>\n

I had to strike that, because it’s definitely not true. Side by side Australia was clearly a superior team, with superior players, and administrators. And Windies being in or out of contention for The World Cup could not change that.<\/p>\n<\/a>Aussie Fans and Friends in Party Stand<\/h3>\n
