His point isn't that MJ wouldn't do well in today's league.

His argument is that MJ would not have the free rein today that he had then and that it would have hurt his offensive game.

Agree or disagree with the point, but he wasn't going so far to suggest that MJ wouldn't have been a star in today's league.

Fox sports on why Jordan's 6-0 finals record is overblown:

You can make points about why Lebron has had it easy.

LeBron deserves a ton of credit for getting the 2007 team to the Finals

TNT

Yet MJ never beat a team as good as the 2016 Warriors.

Prove it! You can't. This is why this is the dumbest argument

GeauxCougs

5/27/17 11:12am

That team had the best record ever. Is that not proof?

dYrtbYkerYder

No it's not proof

GeauxCougs

If Lebron would have played when Jordan played he would have been Karl Malone

GeauxCougs

5/27/17 11:20am

My favorite point there is that he beat a bunch of players on teams with no

Disco LaFleur

This was the only point I didn't agree with him on

-C9-

5/27/17 10:15am

Okay, but point 1 is kinda underwhelming as well. Jordan wouldn't be able to

Disco LaFleur

5/27/17 10:31am

yeah, if that's a point he was making, its a terrible point

smokymountainrain

5/27/17 10:33am

That argument is entirely uninformed. Jordan dominated elite defenses

Prove it.

Prove they weren't

WJCougar

5/27/17 10:50am

Huh?

benny1982

5/27/17 10:50am

Exactly.

WJCougar

5/27/17 10:51am

My "huh" was in response to not knowing what "they" referred to.

benny1982

5/27/17 10:52am

And he would have spent more time developing his 3 point shot if he played today

GeauxCougs

5/27/17 11:14am

I think the point there is more along the lines of

2018grad

5/27/17 10:36am

Which basically means his point means nothing.

Disco LaFleur

5/27/17 10:38am

No, he's attacking the assertion that some people make that Jordan would

benny1982

5/27/17 10:46am

Let me expand...his point means nothing in the context of Jordan't 6-0 record

Disco LaFleur

5/27/17 10:50am

Gotcha. I agree.

benny1982

5/27/17 10:51am

His point isn't that MJ wouldn't do well in today's league.

In a league where James Harden has free rein and shoots double digit free

Disco LaFleur

5/27/17 10:45am

Exactly! If harden could score 30 a game Jordan could do the same easily.

GeauxCougs

5/27/17 11:11am

Why?

-C9-

5/27/17 11:38am

If you think harden is anywhere near the player Jordan was there is no

GeauxCougs

5/27/17 11:41am

You never answered my question.

-C9-

5/28/17 9:42am

Well, one reason why is he shot more at a higher percentage. While that alone

Disco LaFleur

5/28/17 10:58am

Still doesn't answer my question. We don't base greatness on points alone.

-C9-

5/28/17 11:23am

I misunderstand your question then. I thought you were asking why Jordan would

Disco LaFleur

1991 championship was over the Lakers.

BYUHgrad

5/27/17 11:21am

and he beat the back to back champs in the ECF that year

cougarstolz

Great point. So in the '91 championship, he beat 5 rings.
