Jordan had an 20 ppg guy in Wooldridge.
But he didn't have help !!!!!
Eighties defense was terrible. It's why the Pistons came off so brutal. They were actually physical and actually defended everywhere on the court. Bird and McHale were ing terrible defenders in an era when even the top teams had one 'defensive stopper'. One.

Poor Scottie, most underrated player of all-time..
He is a got, but yes I agree he is criminally underrated
Bird & McHale would each average 20 boards a game today
There's a big difference between real physical basketball from the 80's and today's pussy ball. FFS, the Warriors are considered a great defensive team in today's NBA.
He got about 38 wins of help. But GOAT
A 6’5” player being the best defensive center in the league . Forget about Hakeem, Robinson, Shaq, Duncan and Ewing. B-listers like Daugherty, Mourning, Smits and Seikaly would dominate the paint in today’s nba.
They'd be destroyed by outside shooting. The paint is just there now for the restricted area to draw a charge.
Robinson and Hakeem won’t, those two have routinely chased down guards or shown that they can keep up with PGs in switches. They are quick enough. As for the others? Sure if you play in a league where players aren’t allowed to guard the perimeter or drives at all, but they’d still beast on any centres in today’s nba

Yea, I don't think that the fanboys understand how pussified the league has become. String bean KD as a rookie could not handle the physicality very well.
Depends a lot on the rules. They gonna call the moving screens that allow all these open threes on pick and roll and flares, etc? They gonna allow players to be physical or no?
Today's rules.
Then I agree with you to an extent. Olajuwon and D-Rob would have great success if much lesser guys like Capella are having a solid impact though, tbh.
Agree 100% with Amb.
Be tougher on Tim/Shaq defensively... But they would eat every center on the other end including Embiid...
Where David and Hakeem gain value is they can run the floor and get easy buckets, chase wings at the 3 line and rim protect plus with this pace?
DAVID and Hakeem would both be unstoppable on both ends
Heck even Javelle McGee is a positive in current NBA David and Dream would be in GOAT convo
Guys like Ralph Sampson (pre injury) could legitimately go for 28 ppg. 35 ppg if he increased his shooting range to threes.
Young Marcus Camby would be great in this current league.
