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

[DorianRo]

The league has done nothing but cater to /baby wing players since the 90s. MJ Would be far and away the best in the game today and it wouldn't be close. Easy average 45ppg player in today's PUSS league with probably a few triple double seasons in there.

45 PPG game? LOL...at least be realistic, even the most devout Jordan worshipers don't believe that.

IDK. If I had to choose, probably Kareem.

Yeah, I think Kareem too. At the least, I consider them 1a and 1b.

He averaged 37ppg in 1987 during a time when the league didn't cater to perimeter players like they do now

How'd that '87 Bulls team do?

How'd that '87 Bulls team do?

Got beat by the Celtics in the playoffs who lost to the Lakers in the finals.

I was thinking the same thing, the team would stink as a result of his chucking.

He got swept in the first round. Not one win in the playoffs that year. He had a losing record that year too...lol @ the supposed "GOAT"

Teams were better in the East back then genius. Emphasis on TEAM not 1 player. Look at the Bulls team that year in the playoffs it was beyond garbage.

It’s not hard to figure out it bud

Maybe if he passed the ball instead of chucking his team would have been better.

That season Jordan had the 6th highest efg% on the team. Seems passing the ball would have been a good option.

To who? Goodness you’re a dipshit.

Dave “the Lumberjack” Corzine?
Sedale “the thief” Threatt??

Lol

Gene “Tinkerbell” Banks??

Sedale “the thief” Threatt??

Lol

Gene “Tinkerbell” Banks??

funny. Heard that same rap about Kobe after Shaq bailed...

Threatt and Atkins are great options, right...?

I mean, Kobe was a dick and all, but in that instance I couldn't blame him for playing a Lotta hero ball...

Threat and Corzine had similar efg% as Jordan, maybe if he gave them more touches they could have gotten a better rhythm and shot an even higher efg% especially when you consider how wide open they probably were from playing with Jordan. These guys are still NBA basketball players, most of them can hit open shots.

Sedale Threatt played with Kobe?

 

[Black Adam]

Sedale Threatt played with Kobe?

yes, towards the end of his career...

 

[Bart]

Not after Shaq was gone. Threatt's last season was 1997.
