POLL If prime Jordan played in today's NBA - would he be the best?

[Wamu]

You are denouncing the notion of MJ being anything less than the GOAT by mocking my thread and trying to derail it.

I would never mock anyone, ever. Except you right now. And others at various times. More to the point. What was it again? Oh yeah. Okay I think MJ would be the bestest player in the game today. But I don't need this thread to mock you. I can do that in any thread. I'm thirsty.

DeRozan isn't even a top 25 player in the current NBA, let alone all time.

But sure, he's almost just as good as the best player of all time.

LOL...You think Jordan is the GOAT too. No wonder you are offended, another Jordan slurper. Maybe I could upgrade it to DeRozan 2.0, that would probably be a little more accurate but I can't go any higher than that. I think you'd be surprised how bad Jordan would look in today's game.

I think DeRozan could return to 16/17 form where he was a 27 point scorer so I was more basing it on those numbers than anything. Jordan would probably be around that range too in today's game with a little better assists and rebounds. It really isn't as far off as you want it to be.

Lol, why dont you make a poll to see who is better?

Bartman had a rough night chasing the Scarecrow around Springfield. Cut him some slack.

Carry on, Amy Schumer.

I already stated Jordan would be better.

I already stated Jordan would be better.

But only just, right?

Use some creative words and try to figure out exactly how close they really are.

Ouch! Now that was a good one.

I think I already did above.

And we all had a good laugh

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

He's getting better!

 

[Wamu]

He's getting better!

Yeah but he's still taking one step forward & two steps back. Hope he's wearing rubber boots. Because he's stepping into some bullshit.

 

[Bart]

And we all had a good laugh

Funny because it's true. Your hero would just be another star in the league, the game has evolved making Jordan skill set less valuable, it's just plain facts that brainwashed Jordan fans will have to come to terms with.

Jordan is not the best player in every single category in the whole wide world, but to act like he wouldn’t have adjusted his game is silly. He would have figured out how to improve his game and exploit the defenses in a manner that other players Who are trying to assimilate, aka perimeter shooting, wouldn’t.

Since in the real world he won six championships, that is a given. I can’t say that in the hypothetical he would also win six championships or more, but who else has won six?

I wouldn't doubt it. His fans sure are.

How would he accomplish this?

I think MJ already tried improving his 3 point game because he always had drive to be a complete player. It was a failure that's why he never shot the 3 as much.
