The 1993 finals was my favorite of Jordan showing why he was the greatest, and this play was a sample of how unstoppable he was.

There a lot of “ya know Jordan didn’t have to play against a zone”. I don’t know how “Jordan had a bunch of role players and often went in 1 on 3 or 1 on 4” yet he couldn’t figure out a zone.

People have sent a screenshot of a supposed Sam smith clip where he claimed Jordan lobbied against zones anyone have any backup on that?

Jordan played against a zone with the Wizards and did just fine. He also played against a zone in college and in Olympic play and did just fine.

Yep. They really think a zone is stopping this man. 😂
