jordan without hand checking would feast in this league and you're kidding yourself if you think anyone would stay in front of him.


meanwhile lakers about to get this W. :blessed:
There are far better perimeter defenders into today's league that are closer to Jordan's athleticism than there were in 80s/90s. Not to mention better defensive schemes that would limited Jordan's efficiency/production. Not to have this debate in here, but the advantages of hand checking are overblown. Jordan wouldn't feast anymore in today's game, than he did during his time in the league.

why aren't any of these awesome perimeter defenders stopping the golden age of point guards then? There's some good perimeter defenders, but the entire league ain't like that and there's not a ton of two way players either. i'll give you the schemes being better, but Klay Thompson and Butler ain't doing shyt to limit Jordan from driving in his prime.

Getting a little annoying hearing his pops slurp him on the Hornets broadcast, but I can't hate.

Dell actually tried to keep it low key, but the other announcers just keep going back.

He's like "I wasn't going to say anything, but now that you mention it. My son is that ni**a"
Dell really was trying to play it off at first too :russ:
