Agreed.
Contrarian and cynical - even for OKP
Comparing Eddie's stand up to Jordan's baseball career is ridiculous.
Some things you can take for granted, like when damn near every person in comedy says Eddie is a legend in comedy (stand up and otherwise).
Stand up requires many of the same muscles as sketch comedy. See: Louis, Schumer, Chappelle and Rock. So to pigeon hole him as a "comedic actor" is silly.
Also, not liking something is not the same as it not being good. We all have different tastes in food. The same is true for comedy.

Eddie has more to lose than to gain at this point. He could make an excellent special and yall would find a way to criticize it.
