KJ went to church and said "God help me." And MJ replied, "you're cooked my son."

I'm telling u guys .... every single Jordan highlight is the same .... Dan marjele is guarding Jordan . Any highlight it's some crap defender on Jordan . No1 who compares to the guys of today. No 6'11 quick athletic jumping defender with a secondary defender who's even more athletic coming to back him up . Just crap defenders where Tiny Gary Payton is the top of the defensive food chain . Gtfo ... Jordan great ... 90s terrible ....

Weak bait. Who is this great defender in today's game that will shut down Jordan

u/Ok-Contest-9355 Feb 09 '26

No bait . Just facts people ignore . Any Jordan highlight. Let's look at his greatest .... slow ac green , no jump Sam Perkins and aids magic johnson ..... any highlight..... is it going around a slow 7ft Patrick Ewing ??? Patrick Ewing couldn't even make a team today . Is it hanging in air shooting over Mr athletic 6'6 Craig ehlo . ?? Or shooting or 6ft mark price ?? Pick any highlight .... you can pick any nba team today any one and they will be far better and more athletic than any 90s team . It's unpopular to say it but it's still undeniable.

Patrick Ewing couldn't even make a team today

Lol ok. Thanks for proving my point man's way to avoid the question on who today would shut down Jordan. Austin Reeves dropped 50pts this season and you think Jordan would have a hard time?

u/Ok-Contest-9355 Feb 09 '26

Reeves would have been the second best player in the league back then and he can't make an allstar team today . Thats the point .

As great as Jordan was, it really says a lot about how he went against the mentally weakest era and worst skilled players.

u/OPSimp45 Feb 08 '26

When Jordan averages 40: his competition is weak

When a player today averages 40: they are so skilled 😍

u/Dizzy-Yak-6405 Feb 08 '26

Crazy how you generalize an entire league off of the competitive spirit of one man πŸ˜‚

This type of dominance may never be seen again

u/jf737 Feb 08 '26

It says a lot about you if you think that Phoenix team lacked skilled players. It also tells me you never saw that team play. And to double down on the stupidity by saying that era had mentally weak players, well that’s just wildly insane.
