    Was Greg Ostertag an elite player even though he played over 20 minutes only once in his career (21.1)? That sounds like a fairly petty reason not to list Jordan higher. If the guy is efficient, then I think he should get the recognition that occurs when he plays at that high level, but I don't think that minutes played is the reason he should be disqualified as not being 'an elite' player in the league. He's one of the toughest matchups in the league, and the fact he played only half the game, but yet was able to play a full season, is much more meaningful, IMO. No need for the guy to play 30 min/game like Oden did for one year, and then be injury prone afterwards due to such large amounts of minutes played over a season for a 7'0"+ center.
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

      P to the B - that's an interesting comparison. Ostertag played at Kansas, which is why he probably didn't disappear into oblivion. He was also drafted in an incredibly weak draft. I'm not making excuses, but had Ostertag played in the Valley, his numbers would probably have looked a lot better. If memory serves me right, Ostertag split his time with a young Scot Pollard.

      That's a pretty solid comparison, statistically. I wouldn't have come up with that.
