Michael Jordan admitted to how hand checking allowed him to cheat.....

[9erempiree]

"Did you ever do it in a game?"

"I did it all the time."

Ladies and gentleman, I have been saying it all along. Hand-checking era was the weakest in history. Please, lets not confuse hacking and fouling as good defense. Anyone who has ever played basketball knows you play defense with your feet and not your hands.

How did MJ benefit from hand-checking era? From the horses mouth.....

"Anything that is on me, is a part of me" do you see how easy that would be for anyone to score buckets.

And with the illegal defense rules at the time, once you made it past your man defender, the lane was wide open and rotations came way too slow. This is why you got so many poster jams in the 80's and 90's. Slow rotations, open lanes, and slow bigmen.

GOAT gonna GOAT

I can only imagine the insane numbers Kobe would put up in MJ's era. If we see MJ putting the numbers he put, imagine what Bryant would do.

Averaging 40 on these guys.

[GIF REACTION]

With single coverage, I could definitely see Kobe averaging 35 PPG, if not a little more

I mean, at their peaks this is absolutely realistic.

People don't realize how great these talents are. You can't simply compare stats and make conclusions, without acknowledging the rule changes that took place. 25 points a game today is like 28 in the 80's and 90's. There is no denying this. Individual scoring has taken a hit due to the illegal defense removal.

Kobe has been hand checked before too

If anyone is saying MJ would score less with no hand checking they have never played basketball in their life

[lefthook00]

The guy on offense can use hand checking to his advantage just like the defender can, and MJ was really really good at doing that.

However, as a defender, I'll take hand checking with the risk of the offensive player using it against me every single time.

Why does this matter to Kobe stans so much? I don't have Kobe top 10, but if I did he would just be barely in...so bringing down Jordan isn't going to help his case for GOAT or anything. He's not even close regardless.

[oh the horror]

You kids haven't built up enough credit or testosterone in this planet yet to even bother half of the grown men here.


Jordan hasn't played in over a decade and dudes are busting out with science experiments trying to still discredit the man.


Just stop.

I am 35, Jordan is GOAT, and I am concerned you are taking Kobe trolls too seriously. :confusedshrug:

Lol poor kid's balls hasn't dropped yet so he doesn't understand that even though Jordan was allowed to hand check on defense, so was the guy covering him. The little squeaker thought that Jordan is the only player who ever hand checked. :lol :lol :lol

Meaningless thread. MJ is still better than kobe in large consensus. This will never be changed.

"mom!!! grandpa's talking to himself again!!!"

I just turned 39. So yeah, i guess i'm older than most in here. But like i said, i still play at the local courts and still get the best of anyone i play, regardless of age. A few weeks ago, some tall black guy actually asked me if i had ever played overseas as i was lighting it up that day. That was a big compliment and no one had ever asked me that before. When i told him my age, his jaw dropped. He said he couldn't imagine how much quicker i was in my prime (because i'm still pretty quick right now). So "grandpa"? GTFO. Lol.

True, Kobe played in even a harder era than Jordan in 02'..Hand-Checking still was allowed and defenses got more polished with Zone trapping.

Yeah, except a broken down 40 year old Jordan with no knees (and no German blood doping) was still around then dropping 40 and 50 in '02.

Meanwhile, Kobe was a bench scrub in Jordan's era. Bean himself will tell you- he got his only 2 scoring title in a soft era with weak defense.

:applause:

[sdot_thadon]

What I gather from this thread is the double standard is still going strong. What a shame. Anytime Mj is shown breaking the rules or showing any type of weakness, people get upset. Why not judge everyone on the same curve, especially when there's enough info and footage available to do so. Why does Mj absolutely have to be a saint or we get all defensive. The fella has his flaws too, if you're not blind.
