However, Michael Jordan, Pippen , etc. are good becuase they're good, not
becuase they're plugged into an ISDN or a cable modem. They Have the same court
and gear as everyone else, unlike the LPB when compared to the HPW. I'm not
saying that all LPB's suck, becuase they're are alot who are very good no matter
what connection they play on. But I am saying that they're are a lot of LPB's
who, if made to play at the same ping time as the HPW's, would be scoring alot
lower than they are now.
