Ja says he would cook MJ

[Richard Glidewell]

At this point we know the caliber of play Morant brings to the floor. Talk his shyt, but it's coming right back to him on the other end. Most players in the NBA is instant offense with a green light......defense is a whole other story though.....it will be back and forth.......can you really claim chef status is you ain't shooting the lights completely out or seriously disrupting the other guys offense.....

Anyone who actually watched MJ knows this is obviously true. He was never good on fast guards, especially fast guards who could shoot.

On 87-88 Jordan? Who won DPOY and averaged 35ppg? I don't even think he getting a move off

That's not the kind of defender MJ was at all. He didn't lock guys down like that, he was super disruptive using his athleticism to gamble for steals and blocks. Which was extremely effective in disrupting the other team's offense but players could get theirs on him too. When Phil came in to coach he actually got on him to stop gambling more and play disciplined defense instead.

I mean look what the Cavs' starting guards did against the Bulls in the 1988 playoffs:

Mark Price - 21-4-8 on 57% from the field and 41% from 3pt (Price was a 2nd-year player who averaged just 16ppg in the regular season)
Ron Harper - 18-5-4 on 48% from the field (Harper was a 2nd-year player who averaged 15ppg in the regular season)



If MJ couldn't lock down an inexperienced Mark Price or Ron Harper in 1988, how the fukk was he going to lock down Ja Morant?

You would never see/hear the new gen say this about Kobe

Maybe he meant he'd cook him in a dance off

MJ got cooked by fukking Mark Price and dudes are acting like Ja couldn’t do anything to him.

Did you even WATCH the video Mark Price was nasty as hell and would have been a BEAST is this era hell he used to give Zeke and the Pistons that work

Like I told breh, invincibility armor lol

Jordan wasn’t no 210 most his career that was only in the second 3-Peat and that version of Jordan is definitely getting cooked he couldn’t stay in front of shifty guards

Nah breh he got his weight up earlier than that as he was tired of Detroit's bigs literally beating his ass

 

[Ukbrotha]

In an NBA game, anyone can get cooked, even the GOAT. its not a big deal.

 

[Elim Garak]

He wouldn't but it doesn't bother me that he said that everytime I've seen him speak he has supreme confidence and that's how the greats are. I don't need him to humble himself I'm not a white man.

Whatever you gotta say to impress Taylor Rooks you SAY that shyt!

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

MJ's defense continues to be the greatest urban legend in NBA history.

 

[King Poetic]

Shawty amped him.

Hey wouldn't even say what he said in Jordans face.

Don’t even think he beats Luka in a game to 21, he would get by Luka a bunch times but I think Luka size will eventually win out
