Who would Jordan be able to guard in this game? Caruso, maybe?
These guys are bigger, stronger, faster and more skilled than Jordan. Castle would put Jordan on a poster every time.
I take that back. After watching the last 2 games, Caruso would be raining threes all over Jordan.
Guys are just too long, too athletic, too quick, too strong and too skilled for 90s players like Jordan to handle. It’s like comparing Jordan to 1960s players. There’s a big difference.
Who could stop Jordan from averaging 40 points/game without handchecking? Nobody.
🤣🤣
Handchecking guys back
Reggie Miller, Tyronn Lue, Jalen Rose, Alonzo Mourning, Paul Pierce, Allen Iverson, and Mark Jackson have all said Jordan would average over 40 points in today's game. You think you know better than they do?

A bunch of old dues trying to protect their legacy are lying to you. You haven't spent a second of your life critically analyzing the terrible level of basketball they played in the 90s. Instead you just reiterated the same talking points the spam on ESPN.
It's so pathetic how MJ fans have no opinion of their own. Every single one of you spout the same playbook of garabge (hand-checking, defense, etc.). None of you have even bothered to watch a 90s game on YouTube (if you did you'd realize they were bums) and yet you worship these players.
I hate people that hold onto ideals and beliefs without ever taking a second to analyze them. How many Christians read the bible, how many MJ fans watch basketball? It's all the same playbook. A group of bigots makes up a fake story/hypes up someone to an untouchable level and mocks/ridcules anyone who disagrees with them (both of these hate groups obviously do much worse than ridiculing people).

I know better than literally anyone ever who says with any seriousness that Jordan would average 40+ if it weren’t for hand checking, Heartlessss.

Excuse me? You're the one who said Bronny James would be a 10x MVP if he was teleported to the 90s. GTFOH. I'd rather have the same opinion as guys who've actually played the game (including a current head coach) than a dumb take like yours.
I've watched Jordan's games. He was a killer. Incredible athleticism. Impeccable footwork. Tight handle. Lethal midrange. Unguardable fadeway. High IQ. Ultimate competitor.
Jordan averaged 37 in the 80s when the game was way more physical and the paint was packed. He'd only need 3 more points. With more space to operate, faster pace of today's game, less contact allowed, and taking more 3s, he gets those 3 extra points.
I think the best argument for Lebron is that 2015 Cavs team he took to the finals with Love and Kyrie injured. That team was garbage without Love and Kyrie and Lebron still took them to the finals.
I think the best argument against him is that the Heat team which was so good, only won two titles.
It's very hard to compare players through eras. The training and sports science have evolved. The game has changed too, both in terms of humans learning how to play more effectively and the rules. I can talk myself into calling any of Bill Russell, Kareem, MJ, Wilt, or Lebron being the goat. Usually I land with MJ or Bill Russell.
Am I the only one who doesn't think the Bronny situation isn't that big of a deal? He was the 55th pick and projects a solid 3 and D player, something at the time the Lakers need desperately. If he wasn't Lebron's son, he would have take the Scottie Pippen Jr. route to the league, but I he will end up being a quality role player next season--which is pretty good deal from the 55th pick.
There are so many better players in the league now compared to when Jordan was there. American players can’t even sniff the MVP anymore.
You're clueless.
What you don't understand is Jordan took it personally when he played against another elite guard and people like you were talking trash. Watch Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals.

Like his great nemesis Craig Ehlo? Lol
The athleticism, skill level, speed and strength of today’s NBA players is light years ahead of the plodders of the 90s.

Joke's on you. Ehlo wasn't in the 1992 NBA Finals. You keep showing you don't know what you're talking about.
