[QUOTE=stephanieg]If Jordan grew up in today's era he'd probably be a three point chucker like everyone else.[/QUOTE]
Too smart shot selection wise to do that ... mid range wins championships. See: MJ, Kobe, Wade, and LeBron in 2012 / 2013. Chucking 3's makes for early exits. Fools gold shot.

Some people have reached a stage where any accomplishment from players of this era simply help to add to Jordan's legacy. It's wild.

If MJ grew up today he would have been cut from his high school JV team and would be working at burger king right now.

Exactly. Some of these guys go on and on about 80's and 90's basketball but you never hear them talking about today's game. They are missing out on some great players and great action by constantly living in the past.

Westbrook is more athletic than Jordan

[QUOTE=JT123]Jordan in today's era = JR Smith without the 3 point shooting. :sleeping[/QUOTE]
So Lebron has MJ with 3pt shotting coming of the bench?

I'm talking about mid range scoring skill set, and ability. Come on bruh, I know you're smarter than this ... keep up.
If we're ranking these specific players abilities to score from mid range / post:
1) MJ: 6 rings, 6 Finals MVPs
2) Kobe: 5 rings, 2 Finals MVPs
3) Wade: 3 rings, Finals MVP
4) LeBron: 2 rings, 2 Finals MVPs
It's no coincidence that Bron didn't finally win until he could score consistently in that area of the floor. Which was the 2012 season. It's a skill set that allows players from the perimeter to flourish in the post season. Thus why Harden is always such a failure come playoff time.
