Wrong about it's an easier league. But hey what can you do.
Why?

it's fair to say the gap between Jordan and the 2nd best shooting guard in the league was huge.

To it something in perspective. Kobe and a gang of other players who modeled themselves after Jordan were pretty great these past 19 years since the 2000s started. I fail to see how Jordan couldn’t adapt to this era and still cook.Yes and no, there's much more emphasis on team and help defense nowadays than back then where it was more a 1-on-1 defense. I refuse to believe opposing guards would be left on an island guarding him nowadays in the post and midrange areas. You think well coached teams like the Spurs for example, Pop would just let DeRozan guard him 1-on-1 and not send help in certain spots
That's why the Pistons were successful against him because of their "scheme" on playing help defense
Just my opinion though

Why do you think that? Jordan in today's game would have better handles, a better shot, and probably be an even better athlete with advances in today's technology.

No, those type of centers weren’t always waiting at the rim for him.
And fukk you nikka for slowing down the page with them gifs
The 90’s had HoF centers but a bunch of fat fukks and cac stiffs as well. The position is actually deeper today and we can make a whole fukking list if you want, but you nikkas only mention the HoF bigs of the era as if that's all Jordan faced.
It's like Jordan didn't have Finals series when fukking severely overweight Oliver Miller and Kevin Ducksworth weren't the ones waiting for him at the rim.
You just act like Jordan wasn’t in a more physical era where bigs were far more aggressive with their players than today

He's still running laps around them with his mental acuity.The NBA now is a talented boys league.
That grown man element is gone.That lil bit of residue washed away when Kobe & KG hung em up
But then he never goes to North Carolina and never gets coached up by Dean Smith, plus he never has Phil Jackson come to save his team. So he doesn't end up being half the player he is today.
Does MJ even end up a winner at all without Dean Smith and Phil Jackson?
Two can play at this game. You can't magically give him all the advantages of the new era without taking away the special advantages he got from his own circumstances.
