Gotta love people who act like handchecking in the 90s was the secret holy grail of defense

Should I listen to a cac from Vegas or NBA Hall of Famers :dwillhuh::patrice:

During a 2007 L.A. Lakers pre-season broadcast, Phil Jackson was asked how he thought Michael Jordan would perform today, Phil said: "Michael would average 45 with these rules.



You can't even touch a guy now," says Charlotte coach Larry Brown. "The college game is much more physical than our game. I always tease Michael [Jordan], if he played today, he'd average 50."



Asked if he could defend Jordan under today’s interpretation of the rules, Dumars first laughed, “It would have been virtually impossible to defend Michael Jordan based on the way the game’s being called right now.



fukk them Im riding with you Vegas Cac :blessed:

nikkas really think that a 21-22 year old Lebron wouldn't be a goddamn monster in the mid 80s :mjlol:

Handcheck that 250 lbs freight train that's gonna be allowed to be physical back :mjlol:

Lebron was commanding double and triple teams when he was that age too. :pachaha:

Hand checking was used specifically for half court defenses. When has lebron ever been a all time great half court player? He's all about the (full head of steam). He'd still be great but again there's a GOAT and there's Lebron, that's all. Nothing to be ashamed of
