Are the Jordan rules overrated?

[ShawkFactory]

They started taking it to the next level. Using physicality to a further extent than it had been before. If you want to think otherwise, then go for it.

Ooooooo repeating my words at the end to make your point. Very edgy and original

You don’t think that maybe…teams were physical before but because it was Jordan (the media darling; yes those existed before Lebron), that maybe it just was talked about a little more?

Or nah?

Pistons plated physical defense. They called it the Jordan Rules to hype the rivalry in the media.

If everyone does it, then where are the examples of defenders saying the intention was the physically hurt someone when the drive the lane?

Isiah was a little guy but the ringleader of the "Jordan Rules", WHICH THEY DEFINE as hurting MJ, aka "The Jordan Rules" = hurting MJ (video and audio here)

OP provided evidence to support his claim.

You provided none to support yours.

Larry bird also played against the brute physicality of the pistons bt but did not whine to the refs about it.

The Pistons being physical (or teams..lets be honest) didn't start with Michael Jordan weirdo. Bird talking about bringing his hard hat to a series against them is something I guess you don't remember?

You're trying to change the debate. Nobody's saying flagrant fouls only ever happened to MJ. Show me where a team admits they specifically targeted another player for the purpose of physically hurting them.

And the entire point (check the reason for the OP)..is that this idea was overblown and not as rare as people think it is. People got knocked the hell out when the went into the lane. That's literally what happened in the NBA up until maybe 20 years ago.

Jordan was the golden boy and he decided to keep doing it. So big men got intentional. You don't think Nate Thurmond and Elvin Hayes didn't do the same shit with guards who tested them?

It's a nice story and all but it's only a unique story because it's Jordan.

Yes.....with Jordan.
