Sheva is better than van Basten (?)

Is like:

Who is better? Trezeguet or Van Basten?

Exactly right, Jeff. Being an AC Milan legends involves much more than banging in lots of goals and then moving clubs when the opportunity arises. It also involves CHARACTER, and it also involves performances on the pitch that cannot necessarily be quantified. I dont care how many goals Sheva has scored for us, but when it comes to character, loyalty, and love for this club, he is nowhere near being a legend. Secondly, if anyone has seen MVB playing football, you'll realize that the grace and elegance he demonstrated is something which has not been seen since he retired, and it is unlikely that there will be another player like him in our lifetime. Sheva was a great player. Marco van Basten was a legend. Period.
