The league during MJ's era was incredible. Bird, Magic, Shaq, Barkeley, Olajuwon, Ewing, Robinson, Drexler, Malone, Stockton. Everyone of those is hall of fame.
ya.. like I said, superstars are superstars.. but, a guy today that gets taken in the 3rd round has the skill set of a guy taken in the first round back then.. fact.
No way is that fact!! There a gems in every draft late in the 2nd round. Jordan dealt with getting beaten up every game. The game was a lot more physical and with no hand checking now he would put up 40+ regularly.
Dwight Howard wouldn't be a top 5 centre in the early 90's. he has NO basketball brain and completely relies on his athleticism and lack of great centres to dominate.Jordan had to enter the key with Ewing' The Admiral,Mourning,Hakeem, Dikembe, and Shaq.
I feel sorry for Kobe this year, having to play with Dwight. Kobe is the closest thing to MJ due to his competitiveness, but Jordan definitely made his team mates better, more than Kobe.
LBJ needs more consistency with his outside shot- if he can do that, he will get very close, but unless he wins lots more titles and can't see him ever being the GOAT
I'll ride the wave where it takes me
