Or should I say 1st 3 peat Jordan vs 2nd 3 peat Jordan.:manny:

I don't wanna hear stats. Just which Jordan game do you like better and why. Also who dominated the league more, had a better overall game, faced better competition, etc....

Both were unstoppable :patrice:

But Jordan with the fadeaway was just :ohlawd:

Losing to Orlando and Penny made him refine his game and comeback with basically no weakness.:wow:

But losing to Detroit made young MJ a monster:damn:


I'm going with Jordan post retirement.
And before any of you say it, WIZARDS Jordan doesn't count. :beli:

post retirement was probably lil bit smarter player, but I think pre-retirement was maybe defensively better and somewhat more athletic. then again one of the reasons which made 2nd three peat Jordan so great was his ability to adjust... pre-retirement is probably better but post retirement might be more impressive (if that makes sense) considering that he missed 1 ½ seasons and was already 33-35 yo.

I only seen preretirement Jordan in the 93 playoffs. I will say that post retirement was just as enjoyable to watch considering he was not as explosive before, but the way he displayed his footwork, post up and fadeaway was unreal. U reach I teach...

Pre-retirement, easily. This should be unanimous. He averaged 41/8.5/6.3 in the '93 Finals on incredibly efficient shooting. We will never see anything like that again.

Came in here to post this. Phoenix had zero answers for him.

1st 3peat Jordan was the high flyer... But after his suspension...he was physically and mentally more dominant.... And his post/fade away.... Automatic....... I guess I'm going 2nd 3peat Jordan..

This. The way he came back and picked up where he left off winning championships is crazy. I'd take the 96-98 Bulls over the 91-93 Bulls in a series as well.

This. This is why post retirement Jordan gets the slight edge for me. This Jordan used pump fakes, hand fakes more which would have me hype been people bit, just watching this MJ work to get shots was amazing.
