Are we talking makes or misses, because the former wouldn't have much content in it

Weak ass defense
In my day (current time), the defensive assignments would have these so called 90s Stars looking perplexed.
90s was weak

Copycat. He ruined his legacy ridin mj nuts. Bron did too to an extent with the number 23 shyt. I'm waiting for that new guy to come in the league and not try to be mj, Kobe or Lebron.
Agreed...Kobe couldn't do it at the same success rate %, and he wasn't as strong so he fadedaway from further out than Jordan.

A double team was completely useless against MJ, in his athletic prime or late in his career it made no difference. Hard doubles did absolutely nothing against that man. IN the zone era, that shyt would have done nothing also cause the nikka could stop and pop from anywhere and create a clean ass jumper no matter how his body was angled. nikka was unbelievable.

Mike had a 3 point shot maybe one season without the short line. I agree that hard double teams were and always are a bad idea against great passers who trust their teammates (LeBron and Steve Nash are great examples of this), but Chicago Jordan never saw a zone. There's no doubt he would dominate still (someone as talented and smart as him always would), but I think he would have to change some of how he played to navigate a zone better. Maybe move off the ball a little more coming off screens or using off ball cuts similar to what Wade does off the ball. It would've been nice to see how he would have adjusted to those rules though.
