Of course those were his good games.

Tell me why some of his most legendary games feature 6’3 SG’s or cacs defending him?

And do you not think lankier defenders and zone would make no difference to his scoring volume and efficiency?

MJ was killing whoever he played whether breh was 6’3, a cac or built like TMac or Kobe. If he played in the 00s in his prime he’d probably shoot 48-50% whereas he was 50-53% in his best seasons. Is that really a big deal though :ld: he’d be hitting more 3s more likely

The funniest thing is if quittin no tippin pippen took that shot instead of Kukoc at the end of game 3. The bulls would of LOST (game woulda went to ot)dude the most non clutch player I ever watched in my life. He jagged game 4 of the ‘98 ecf cuz he missed TWO fts right before Reggie Miller pushed Jordan out the way and made the go ahead 3. They be glossing over these playoff series they don’t show the details

It’s a miracle Jordan won 6 championships wit that chokin fool

Truth be told he was in a horrible.slump that whole series from the FT line

Was shootin 50 percent or sumthin trash like that , that was before those FTs , but yeaah that was definitely swept under the rug those FTs in that game

Everyone talks about reggie's shot and the push off ..but if pip sinks just 1 of those fts it's a diff conversation

To the bulls and Pippen credid he played well in 6 and they mopped the pacers next game

Some of his most famous games and series were against cacs and 6’3 SG’s playing man to man defenses.

I would like to think consistently facing zone defenses and bigger defenders and better athletes and exerting more energy defensively night in and night out would make a difference in his career.

Negged for being ahistorical. Jordan himself he doesn't win without Pippen and whenever he's mentioned, he should be mentioned as well.

He would most likely play more of a modern NBA style
Meaning less post ups except for mismatches, more p&r, and more 3s
if someone like kawhi whose hands are only slightly smaler than mj's (kawhi had seasons of 38% and 44%) can excel from 3, so could mj
I still believe he could average 40 in the regular season if he wanted to
He would dominate the modern era, albeit with less post ups and maybe slightly worse fg percentage
Teams barely play zone and if you saw the regular season there was laughable defense being played at times

Those are all new barefoot measurements so you’d have to add an inch or two.

LeVert and LaVine are 6’6 actually off top (LeVert might be 6’7) and I won’t even bother to fact check the rest.

LaVine is on your team son how can you say he’s 6’3. :dahell:

McCollum and VanVleet would never guard Michael. Teams would always put their best and longest defender on him. OG and Ariza would be put on him as primary defenders.

And no teams always play zone or use zones principles throughout entire games I’m tired of explaining that shyt and dropping videos so I ain’t even gonna bother.
