Actually, SI compared him to Bird.
And I think fluidity is important to a casual fan. They want to see someone do amazing things. Elton Brand puts up fantastic numbers every night, but no one cares b/c he's BORING to watch (not saying LeGlenn is boring - but he isn't AMAZING). Jordan was faster and could jump higher than anyone we'd ever seen. LeStan is not. Yet. He's incredibly talented, but he's not yet amazing.
But you could come back with Bird again. You're right, he wasn't fluid. Unless he was shooting. That was a thing to watch.
