[Media Conspiracy] First Take: Jordan would've destroyed everyone in NBA today, uses pic of Harden

No one ran the baseline curl better than Jordan.

The referees allowed Jordan to get away with alot pushes whenever Jordan ran baseline hook or 'curl'$.

Curry, Richard Hamilton, jj Reddick, Ray Allen, and Klay Thompson run the baseline curls well. Jordan is greatest of all-time with baseline curl for sure!

 

Jordan never got the amount of double teaming at half court that Harden did. Heck, the other team solely focuses on stopping just Harden for the most part. They couldn't do that with Jordan, because he literally had an all-star team in his prime years.

 

Do you really think double teaming at half court is effective on everyone?

Hack a Shaq doesn't work on good FT shooters...

Give Jordan couple of ballhandlers which he had back then..... all is dandy.

 

Stay strong, Harden and CF!!!

Yadda Yadda Yadda...MJ walks on water, MJ is the best shooter, MJ is the goat...Yadda Yadda Yadda! The only greatness MJ had over other players was his mental toughness...he handle the stress of winning well. But he was not better skilled than any of the best players of today.

 

its a FACT you win more games with a better homecourt and Houston homecourt in Harden era is the weakest homecourt I ever saw whether we talk about the crowd or refs help and in fact these 2 may be correlated

 

so what you say harden is more talented player and its just that he didnt want to team up and didnt give a **** about winning?

 

I think it's a catch 22. If Harden played in a more Warriors motion style offense where he didn't dominate the ball you wouldn't see these all time great scoring seasons from him which makes people think he's a top 5 scorer of all time but at the same time he might have more team success which might elevate him more in all time player rankings.

 

Jordan was an anomaly. Yes in general the trend is that NBA players over time have become more athletic and more skilled due to advancements in training and sports medicine and nutrition. But if you transplant Jordan into today's game the only areas he would be "deficient" in is outside shooting and maybe ball handling. He still has all time great footwork and athleticism. And his shooting touch inside the three point line is probably the best of all time.

You really are underselling him. Jordan's offensive game was far more versatile than Harden who is considered today a two trick pony (step back and straight line drive to bucket). Jordan scored in far more different ways.

 

Can’t wait until the NBA and it’s fans realize that it’s not how much or how efficiently you score, no no no.

It’s how many moves do you have?

lol

 

Funny how some get all worked up when the media somehow portrays the team in even the slightest way negatively like cmon we haven't won shii since 95 lol...granted I understand there isn't much to talk about when it comes to sports nowadays but still

 

The year Barkley won the MVP (92-93):
Value Over Replacement Player
1. Michael Jordan* • CHI 10.2
2. Hakeem Olajuwon* • HOU 7.8
3. Karl Malone* • UTA 7.3
4. Charles Barkley* • PHO 7.1
5. David Robinson* • SAS 6.8

 

Can you imagine Ginobli blocking Jordans crucial shot? Or Jordans team missing 27 straight? You didn't watch Jordan, he would be at about 50 a game with current rules and Hardens system. He would not be denied by donkey at the rim while shutting down curry. Just go watch his playoffs performance
