Jordan's game was ahead of it's time. You look at other guys from the 80's and the way they played looks "old" while Jordan's game wouldn't look out of place for today
By 92, Jordans effect on the game made it look completely different. By then, everybody had pretty looking jump shots, much prettier dribble moves, much prettier finishing at the basket, ect.
It started with Bird and Magic, but MJ sped the process up like a mfer.
In the 80's nikkas dribbled straight down and left to right only
. They took 2 hand push shots around the basket instead of floaters
