Wow.. ROFLMAO. Jordan played during a time when the NBA was at its most PHYSICAL state 80s/90s. Handchecking allowed, no pussy flopping going on, physical defense was allowed a in a league full of great big men. Some of the best ever clogging the interior. All that is gone.

If he played today he would be an EASY 40-45ppg player every single season and would be LIVING at the FT line.

Jordan has 6 titles and did it all without ever beating a "GREAT" team in the playoffs.

The Utah jazz

I'm telling you that he would not score 8-10 more ppg today than he did when he did play.

If you had even a little clue about how the game was played back then compared to today you would understand why. But you don't and you instead make dumb arguments about the game was more physical back then so he would just run over guys today.

Over all the game was more physical back then, but Jordan wouldn't be running anyone over in today's game. That wasn't his style.

This nonsense.

The Bad Boys
Early 90s Knicks
1993 Suns
The 97/98 Jazz weren't great? I guess the 2018 Celtics missing their 2 best players are better ROLFLMAO!!!!!!
1998 Pacers
1996 Sonics
1996 Magic

The list goes on of great teams MJ bested. Any of these teams would sleepwalk through the toilet known as the EC the past few years

We're talking about Hakeem Olajuwon as the greatest NBA player ever without a ring had Jordan not "retired" for 2 years in the 90s.

LeBron is the better player, but as of now MJ has the better resume and is #1 for me.

Are we going to do this thread once a month now?

The fact that the topic continually comes up shows just how close it really is.

Short answer:

No

Long answer:

According to basketballreference.com they have him listed as 35 years old for the '98-'99 season & retired. For the '97-'98 season he's listed as 34 years old.

He turned 35 in Feb. 98. He was the oldest player to win the MVP and oldest win the scoring title.

It's such a different gm now. Who would've ever believed a team with al horford and a bunch of guys that could still be in college or just be getting out would be a gm away from the NBA finals. I think mj was better but who really knows

LeBron never met his dad and Jordan had his killed

Seems to me Magic would be better

LeBron's father was murdered over a card game. His name was Roland Bivens. He was 1 of the best HS players I've ever seen.

um, the Jazz were a perennial top 3 seed in the west in the 90's, genius. The dementia riddling your long-term memory that badly?

I did not know that the Sonics, Jazz, and Suns were in the East.

Oh right, you want to parse the information to minimize the teams Lebron played while extolling the teams that Jordan played.

Even though none of them were anywhere close to as good as the Warriors or Spurs.

If you use 538's Carmelo ratings...

The Best NBA Teams Of All-Time, According To Elo

the only great team that the Bulls beat were the Jazz. Lebron faced 4.
