How would he fare in today's game?
>>
with all the offensive rules today, he would be made better on offense, with all the defensive rules, I think he is one player who proved he is able to adjust to a system, so I think his competitiveness would allow him to be able to play defense at an elite level. In short, no one would be able or allowed to stop him on offense, and the rules effect on his defense would be negligible at best. In short, still GOAT

He would dominate, because he is Jordan, and half his game was about keking other teams.

9/11 would dominate

>>63932583

Comparable impact to LeBron James
>>
28 ppg and about 30 foul shot attempts nightly because of how gay the league officiates defense.

It's horrible to watch guys like Kevin Durant and Westbrook and others at the free throw line on almost every possession and that's on a regular night, let's not even go into talking about the playoffs where a nigga looks at another nigga laying up and that shit is considered a flagrant and the nigga that dun the staring gets elected and misses the next game

Damn

They would wrap him up near the rim and diminish his impact these days just like LeBron, but he would probably adjust to it better rather than whining, pouting and complaining.

I think he would fucking punch someone. Not kidding.

Jordan would be unstoppable on offense because of how much the rules have changed to favor guards.

he'd be a solid wing defender+slash and kick guy. so like a tyreke evans/gordon hayward/corey brewer type
>>

Stephen Curry would be better than him.

He was never a great shooter. You'd need to surround him with great shooters, bigs included.

LeBron would murder him. He would be pretty much like melo

he'd be worse today than in his prime watered down early 90s NBA. why? he wouldnt be the only person getting calls like he did in his day.

he foster in the current touch foul flopping crybaby marketing above all WWE tier league so it's safe to assume he'd do just fine in it though.

Meh, bulk up and remove all skill based techniques from his game and he could do as well as any other darkie.

if it's a dunk, it's not a travel

here's an example

>>63938812
He'd still prolly never get fucked with again. Lets just be real
>>
>>63935894
Upper middle kek
>>
Elite at offense, but his defense I have no clue
>>
>>63938796
Not a teavel. Thats just a beautiful take. Tou can see him collect the dribble there, and is soin as hes cradling it -stopppling the dribble), he alread gas his feet down, takes two big strides, and puts up the shot.

Perfect timing.

>>63939887
This is not a travel depending on where tou think the drippble stopped. I think it's still active in his hand, then he traps it with two hands and takes 2 steps to the basket.

Maybe he carried the ball early and it wasnt spinning freely at the top of the dribble arc. Then it's a travel.

>>63932583
people always forget zone defense was illegal....and what type of player has the hardest time beating zone defense? three point shooters reign supreme in zone defense and people who need to get to the bucket not so much.
>>
>>63932614
stupid kike, fuck off to /biz/ or /bet/
>>
>all casuals thinking that there are more foul calls in today's game
Jordan's FTA per game - 8.2 (8.7 in Chicago)
Harden's FTA per game - 7.3
LeBron's FTA per game - 8.4
Durant's FTA per game - 8.2
Westbrook's FTA per game - 6.8
Curry's FTA per game - 3.6

Also

>>63935156
If he had that many ft attempts he would average over 40 for sure.

Zone defense would shut him down he would get keked but refball would save him.

He's like 50 years old, so not very well
>>
>>63935156
>mfw a pathetic 28 ppg in today's watered down league.

Jordan would average 45 ppg in today's NBA and would likely win a handful of rings assuming he's got halfway decent teammates and not a bunch of scruds.

The guy's an assassin and would destroy every one of today's elite players.

Remember: before Jordan, the game was an inside-outside game. That is, the offense flowed through a premier big man. Jordan was so dominant that he was able to win outside-inside.
>>
This is a meme shooting league. He'd get blown the fuck out. You literally can't play iso in the midrange with modern crowd the paint schemes and rule changes which was half his game. He'd basically have to play like Kawaii where he picks his spots in the half court and otherwise just scores off of creating turnovers. Young hyperathletic MJ would be pretty great, but championship years MJ where you just gave it to him in the high post and he backed down his guy and spammed turnarounds would be impossible to do in the modern game.

>>63941244
lets be honest

the only person who could stand up to the punishment of Jordans game was Lebron. Im not arguing the foul calls but back in Jordans day if you drove to the basket you would get fucking MUGGED. Imagine Curry trying to drive the basket against the old Pistons. He would get decimated every time he got close to the lane.
>>
>>63944182
It's ok to say "Jordan would still be GOAT because he played against much more physical defenses" but all I saw here was a bunch of underage shitposters who probably never saw Jordan play on the Bulls spew bullshit about shooting a million FTs when in fact, the number of FTs per game has been on a decline since the 80s
>>
>>63944237
yeah i agree


I think Jordan transcends generations. Curry and Westbrook play well in todays game but would they be at the same level in Jordans day? I just dont see it. Jordan would excel in ANY league along with Jabar, Shaq and Magic. Imagine a guy like Bird in today's league. Back then the three point shot was meme as fuck and Larry was still killing it from range.


Im a huge Bird and Miller fan so take my crap with a big ole grain of old guy salt.

daily reminder jordan never won a ship with out a hof or 2

daily reminder that hakeem and based curry are the only people to win a ship with out hof'er on their team

The guy has won 2 olympic medals, all he does is win.

Yup. He would adapt and overcome, like all true champions.
