MJ's free throw's would be out of control too if he played in this day and age. He played in a much more physical sport at the time he dominated.

If Gary Payton would have been able to guard Jordan from game 1 instead of game 4(calf injury) on that Finals might have been different. He goes from 31ppg to 23ppg and only hits 1 3-pointer the final 3 games. You got guys like Russell Westbrook every night now.True but Jordan played in a time when defenses were allowed to literally commit assault and battery on you when driving the lane. Not saying Lebron wouldn't have thrived back then, he's a physical freak. But imagine Jordan going off if he were playing against today's defenses where they aren't allowed to get within a foot of the ballhandler.
Nostalgia always ruins this conversation. He made be better but its pretty damn close.Jordan and it’s not close. LeCramp is top 5.
The numbers are right there Mike! See how much tougher that fadeaway is over Kevin Durant than Gerald Wilkins. Those guys were ******* bums compared to the competition now.
You realize that bulls team was one of the best of all time right?If Gary Payton would have been able to guard Jordan from game 1 instead of game 4(calf injury) on that Finals might have been different.

You realize the Sonics won 64 that year? They won because they Rodman was able to slow Kemp down.You realize that bulls team was one of the best of all time right?
No they didn’t win 67.You realize the Sonics won 67 that year? They won because they Rodman was able to slow Kemp down.
64. Which I think was one of the best records in NBA history also,No they didn’t win 67.
You are going to lose everyone if you start talking about comparing defense from MJ's era to now..The numbers are right there Mike! See how much tougher that fadeaway is over Kevin Durant than Gerald Wilkins. Those guys were ******* bums compared to the competition now.
You lost all credibility when you said Larry Bird was better than Lebron James.You are going to lose everyone if you start talking about comparing defense from MJ's era to now..
