You are referring to a defense zoning the entire floor. Individual players get zoned all the time all over the floor.
this post does nothing that you don't...

lol @ Laker fan talking about Jordan never going through superior defenses. They're better than anything Kobe went though.
Are you seriously proud of this list you made?best thing about MJ is that no more of his family paid the price because of his gambling addiction...MJ never faced a great defensive team..and when he did (the pistons) he lost repeatedly. Only time he got over the hump is when they got old. MJ beat weak teams with mostly white guys guarding him. It made him look all-world. It's the same reason Bill Russell got all those Chips..inferior compe ion. There were no consistent decent or good 2 or 3's in the league when MJ played and certainly no defensive players he had to face like Kobe...Players who's teams pay them millions to solely guard and specialize in defense against Kobe...Players who sought to create a name for themselves by playing Kobe tight. "The Kobe Assignment" is /was all that mattered to them nothing else....these guys take pride in guarding Kobe..so they can tell their grandkids that guarded Kobe and was hired by the NBA to specifically do so...
the Likes of Raja Bell, Matt Barnes, Tony Allen, Ron Artest, Doug Christie, Shane Battier, Tayshawn Prince, Bruce Bowen, James Posey, Rubern Patterson, Thabo Shefelosa, etc etc...MJ had only 1 or 2 that he faced night in and night out...on on the other side of the ball MJ never had to face a multiple players, night in and night out capable of giving him 40 or 50 in return like Kobe does...MJ is so inflated it's not even funny...no one can dispute my logic or my facts...
Why was Jordan at 40 years old on bad knees doing this to Ron Artest in his defensive prime?
Why was Jordan at 40 years old on bad knees doing this to Ruben Patterson?
Why was Jordan at 39 years old doing this to Kobe who's playing his best defense?
Why is Jordan at 39 years old doing this to Shawn Marion?
Paul Pierce?
Kevin Garnett?
These are guys 6'7 and up in their athletic primes that couldn't stop a 38-40 year old light years past his prime on bad wheels. You expect people to think Prime Jordan at ages 25-30 wouldn't be killing these guys with these new bull rules Stern created to cater to perimeter players? in simpletons on these boards
Jordan would be great no matter when he played but if anyone thinks defenses are not better now than they were in the 80's and 90s they are delusional.
If an undersized SG like D-Wade (whose game is Jordan-lite) can average 10-11 free throws a game on less than 20 in shot attempts I can't imagine what the Prime Jordan would do these days. The way this league is right now with refs handing out free throws to stars like candy, no legit big men/shotblockers, and that weakass 3 second defensive rule I see Jordan's scoring average being inflated by 2-3 points a game in this weak defensive era.

...and that's why he's considered the greatest basketball player ever.
Often imitated, but never duplicated.
Those highlights NEVER get old.
That is a huge understatement. MJ's scoring average will go up by at least 5 points since he will get at least 5 more freethrows per game.
Not to mention, no handchecking. If no one could guard Jordan with handchecking, no one could guard Jordan without handchecking.
Awesome highlights. He truly was the greatest.
I like how koolaid and the rest of the lakerfans stopped posting their bull when the Kobe video where he says "There will never be another MJ. He's the greatest of all time, nobody will ever fill his shoes" was posted
