MC vs 3rd year is closer to Nash/Zeke(IT11) vs Iverson/Drexler. flashy passing/Elite playmaking vs iso scorer who primarily scores. A modern comparison could be Wall/Lowry vs Beal/Booker
MC uses his dead brother as an eternal rival to inspire him while emulating him. I'm still waiting to see if it has any real psychological effects other than giving him MC powers.XD
