MJ had an incredible low post game.......

Kawhi 2015-2017 was the closest thing to post 93 Jordan you will see. Kobe was second but Kawhi and MJ played so similarly because of their hands, pension for defense, and both were not really checkers compared to Kobe (less defensive minded and more of a chucker) imo.
But even that argument is bull right-wing rhetoric that flies in the face of the very real intervening and rigging the US has played in installing puppet governments in these countries INCLUDING Mexico and Honduras, to avoid "another Chavez/Maduro or Castro" tbh.
MJ s pull up jumper was sick tbh
Toni Kukoc was probably underrated too
Im pretty convinced MJ Bulls would obliterate Currys Warriors
The Bulls are a great team, but Warriors three point shooting would really hurt the Bulls. Plus Green could guard any of their bigs, so Bulls would have to go small and I don’t think they had a great small ball line up.
No matter what rules were going by it would be a great series but ultimately the team who has to play by the rules the other team was built in would win. Bulls would completely out muscle the Warriors if they played by 90's rules and Warriors would eventually tire out the defenders and shoot lights out in today's NBA.
Remote sensing and more border patrol is a much better investment, tbh.
Pretty bummed Raptors got Monroe. Helps them make up for losing Poeltl.
Rodman would own Green in the paint. I think the Warriors would have to stay big just to stop the constant second chance options. If Leonard could dismantle the Warriors defense, then I would imagine MJ would break it further apart.
dumbass proud to be a cog in a machine
Bulls at times would play Rodman at center. I remember they played him at center a lot against Shaq in the 96 ECF and would trot out a small ball line up of Harper,Jordan,Pippen,Kukoc,Rodman. Warriors going small against the bulls would actually be to their detriment. The bulls would kill them on the boards.
I’d disagree. Green could handle Rodman. He’s probably better than Rodman. He can shoot better than Rodman and pass better and is as good a defender. Harper was not great when he got to Chicago so Warriors would hide Curry on him and then every other position they would match up well. Sure Jordan scores 50, but Durant could hang 40 on that team easy. Plus Chicago would be stretched defensively. Warriors have 5 guys that can hit threes. Durant is an underrated big guy who can rebound and shot block and score. Bulls don’t have a 4 that could guard him. Thunder Durant owned Kawhi in the playoffs, so I don’t think Pippen shuts him down at all. Who guards Curry? Jordan etc would have a tough time guarding him and then scoring on the other end. Plus Bulls have no shot blocking. Durant could easily be a rim protector in a small ball line up...Rodman was never a rim protector and was overrated as anything other than a rebounder.
This is always what happens. As the years pass people forget how good players were, and think their guy playing now is superior.
Yeah, I think a team would have to punish the Warriors inside and the Bulls sucked in that regard. I don't think Durant scores nearly that many points. That's ridiculous. Jordan would do really well, but the difference is in 3-point shooting and I'm not sure the Bulls could keep up.
Goes both ways. Some people overrate players in the past and think that the new guys couldn’t hang in the league circa 1990’s.
Right. Bulls could hang in stretches, but when Curry et al go on those three point frenzies, they’d kill midrange teams like Chicago. We all like to treat Durant like a beta and for good reason with him joining the Warriors. But he is a great player and scorer and his size and shooting touch on a team where you can’t double team, makes him almost impossible to guard. To be honest, you have to be able to switch to handle the Warriors, and Warriors would just work to get their players one on one with Toni and then eat his lunch. But Warriors could ignore Rodman and Harper on defense bc they were subpar scorers and then double and triple Jordan.
Warriors wouldn't be as effective with the way nba was called in the 90's. Durant and Curry would suffer a lot.
Draymond is garbage. Dude is glorified role player. I have said before many times that if he wasn't in Golden State he would be a scrub. Draymond has a ty jump shot which he can't hit when he's open, can't create off the dribble. Rodman would easily be able to lock down Green and take him out of the game mentally. How's Draymond's passing going to help against Rodman's D? Keep in mind Rodman used to lockdown Pippen during his Piston days and Pippen was a superior passer and offensive player compared to Draymond. You are also not factoring in Scottie Pippen. Pippen is basically Lebron lite. Warriors would have nobody on their team that could check Scottie. Warriors also don't have 5 guys who can hit 3's consistently. I'll give you Curry-Klay-KD but outside of them they don't have consistent knock down 3 point shooters. Bulls in my eyes would be able to lock down both Green/Klay and would force Curry/Durant to beat them.
After how the Rox nearly beat the Warriors this year with a CP3/Harden combo it's really hard for me to believe MJ/PIppen/Rodman trio could not knock them out.
Now watching the MJ 63 point game against the Celtics
Well said good Sir......
Especially with rules they had then
I think the young Jordan was definitely light years beyond the young Lebron......
What do you think guys??
