Re: Jordan Says Only 4 Current Player Could Play in His Era
[QUOTE=tontoz]That is because it is a horrible list. Did you really compare Mullin to Mike Miller? Rice to Webster?
:facepalm
Ever hear of a guy named Mashburn? Gill?
No mention of Drexler and Mitch Richmond among the SGs?
Wow[/QUOTE]
I had Richmond on my other list in my post I cut this from (Lebron in the 1990's). Cut and paste missed him. Jordan often said he was the best wing player of that generation.
Monster Mash I just totally missed - he did make the top ten list once in the 90's, got hurt early in his career. Over the decade he scored over 20ppg only three times when he played full time. Averaged 47 games played per season over his 13 years. A slight overlook... Don't try to pretend he was some huge miss.
A healthy Miller wasn't bad, he shot the three ball better than Mullin in general and could have the ocassional explosive game like Mullin. Mullin was really prolific for three years in the 90's in that run TMC format where he took a lot of shots. When they were taking the same amount of shots they were very similar - maybe you can tell me the difference?
But please discuss content. Those guys would get totally demolished by Durant on both sides of the ball. Lebron would have a much easier time back then. Mello would be much better on these guys. Wade would be dunking a heck of a lot more. KG would be one of the quicker SF's. Derrick Rose and Chris Paul. You believe in that nonsense MJ said? Really - I grew up 80's and 90's. He's lost his mind.

The top 30 players today could play in the 1980's-1990's.

Yes, If he's doing a ring count then he's given up on being number one. Russell would have to be almost twice as good as himself.

I like Michael Jordan, But I don't see him sincerely congratulating the NBA Finals MVP Recipients.
David Stern picked Russell because he's the ultimate team player, and his ego is not as big as MJ.
11 championships in 13 years. Someone already posted his Finals stats. Russell was a great Finals performer.

Demolished by Durant, so weak he probably couldnt do 10 pushups? Put the hand check back in play and Durant would be even more turnover prone and wouldn't be getting free passes to the line all game. It would be much tougher for him to get clean looks. I think he would be the guy most aversely affected by the old rules.
Jordan used to get hammered routinely because nobody could stop him which is why he got into weightlifting. No way could Durant take that pounding and maintain his current production.
Lebron would be Lebron in any era, but he would have a tougher time against Pippen/Rodman than he has against anyone he faces now. And don't forget Xman who could also probably defend him better than anyone today.
Wade would be ready to retire by now if he played back then. He has already had a bunch of injury problems from all the times he has hit the floor, which would happen alot more back then. A flagrant 2 now was just a hard foul back then.
I am not talking about what MJ said. He is clearly bitter that Lebron is challenging his legacy. I am talking about the nonsensical posts i am seeing. there are a bunch of undersized 2s starting now that would have no chance against MJ. MJ would win the scoring title every year playing now without the hand check.
