Some, at least imo, interesting answers from MJ

[Breed]

Michael Jordan: Bird best trash talker, would rather play Curry than LeBron

Excluding himself, he'd take the Dream if he could have any player from any era in their prime to don a Hornets uni eh.

Rather go one on one with Curry than LeBron. I found that surprising.

HC for one game, he'd take Dean Smith over Phil Jackson.......interesting again.

I'm with him on Olajuwon. One of a very few superstars to win a title without any great players around him.

Clyde Drexler might not have been the player he was at Portland, but he was still an All-Star

As for the season before that, he had some VERY good role players around him.

Still does not make what MSG said untrue.

Not me. Lebron is too big for MJ.

That was my first thought too.

Jordan could D up when motivated, just like Kobe.

I don't think he could keep up with Curry for 4 quarters.

However, with the game on the line?..yeah, he might be able to slow him down.

But, Bron would abuse him in the post.

Gotta be like trying to guard Karl Malone.

A faster, more athletic Karl Malone.

Shaq still refers to him as Mr. Olajuwon.

Respect.

How do you feel about the Shaq statue?

I'm very happy for him.

Outside of Magic, he is the only Laker that I loved.

I hated how he turned into a butt-hurt, preschooler right before he left.

When he yelled " F'ing pay me " to Dr. Buss during a game, I knew he was done.

Glad to see he has started to own up to his part in the demise of the dynamic duo and that the Lakers are willing to forgive and forget.

I'm glad he's getting a statue, he deserves it. Yeah, things were pretty ugly when he left and stayed that way for a little while. But enough time has passed and, as you said, he's owned his part of it.

Posting up Curry would be a heck of a lot easier than Lebron. As good of a defender as MJ was, no way he can stay in front of Curry though.

The Shaq statue looks pretty sick to me. I look forward to getting my picture underneath it like I'm getting dunked on!

Yeah, no shit.

It looks really cool.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Makes sense. Lebron is more physical and would be harder to handle in the post. Jordan could just back down Curry or shoot over him anytime he wanted lol.

That might be more of a shot to Curry more than an actual compliment, if you really think about it IMO

I agree. I'd rather deal with a great shooter with an awesome handle. Your lateral quickness and discipline as a defender are going to be tested. It's a different beast when you're going against 6'8 250 lbs. That's just sheer size that puts you in an uncomfortable situation.

Yeah. He's has the size advantage over Curry that Lebron would have over him.

As someone else stated, MJ would struggle to stay in front of Curry, but MJ was a very smart defender and could use that to move his feet and figure out Curry's tendencies. He wouldn't be able to stop him, but he could slow him enough to win the game.

There really isn't much he could do to make up for the size difference with Lebron.

Shit in his younger days he was just as quick if not quicker than Curry, plus MJ had long arms for his size. A quick player isn't the problem, like you said the size would be the only issue.

Can Jordan hand-check? Maybe then, but no way he stays in front of Curry given today's rules. The handle. The quick release. It would be a tough cover. Don't get me wrong, I'd still take Jordan.
