MJ played in no zone era, it's effectively harder to apply double team. The game consists 50%+ ISO plays in those years. It's easier for MJ to penetrate and shoot high %. MJ doesn't shoot 3pt well through his career.
first of all, sonics did it against dream, they could do it against MJ. 2nd of all, the game was EFFin physical back then. Our flagrant 2 is a personal to the 80's. Tackles, drop kicks, clotheslines, and punches were just personals back then. None of this, breathe on me fouls like they had back then. In fact, I think people now got it made. U know how people complain about the touch fouls now. It's way easier to score now than ever, hence the game changing to a guard's game
