that first step along with that hesitation dribble is just
to watch and then finishing to the basket like
too any big man. Young MJ
called him godEven bird gave jordan his props after he scored 63

When Jordan figured out he was a great jump shooter and still had his prime athleticism 
.
Dude averaged 44 pts vs Cleveland, then dropped 69 on them.
That Jordan would have won in any era.

I see they were trying to give him the nickname Captain Marvel as a rookie. Glad that shyt never caught on...
We're getting close to the point where Prime Michael Jordan might not be as great as Prime Lebron James.
That's a very unpopular idea, but it's a discussion that will have to be had.
So no, I don't think a Rookie MJ would be the best player today.

Used to love watching him go against the Cavs/Knicks/Celtics. Tellin everyone he was unreal. There's a reason why you still don't see his body control 30+ years later. He always seem to hang just a lil longer in the air. Midrange/finishing at the rim is GOAT.
lol at being in top 20 in PER at almost 40 years old. Watching him from the beginning was blessed.
30 years later you don't even see these players being able to do ball fakes like MJ

Man I know y'all swear defense was so rough and tough back then, but judging from that video that shyt looked like 5 James Harden's on defense. They barely contest shots in the paint.
the shyt was painful to watch.....I mean Mike is great dont get me wrong
Not only that you could take videos of hundreds of games where we would look at the defense played and have the constant
face going on
Lol at Jordan struggling a guy like demar derozan averaged 24
And he couldn't nail a jumper to save his life

Do you think half court game is just scoring?
Lebron's passing, vision, playmaking, ability to get into the paint, finishing ability, touch around the rim, and overall basketball IQ plus shot selection makes him comparable to Kobe.
Iggy got a FMVP for simply being able to GUARD Lebron in a one on one situation so his teammates could focus on taking away the easy shots that 95% of the league couldn't touch. nikkas get too caught up in aesthetics but Lebron is an ELITE half-court player. Dude has required a double team since he was 20 years old because he gets what he wants at will.
Call one of the best elimination performers of all time mentally soft, brehs.
Call one of the best game 7 performers of all time a bytch, brehs
Yeah, they have their moments....
Just said I still see flashes of puzzy.Bron was half a puzzy in the Finals until Bogut got hurt, Iguadala hurt his back, and Draymond got suspended.Especially games 1-3.There was infinite "Did Bron forget how to play basketball?
" post being dropped.He redeemed himself in the end, but still, flashes of puzzy.KD turned puzzy in game 7 of the WCF this year.
They're crazy talented players, but they're not consistently tough between the ears like Mike.
Has to be in your DNA.I really think the single mom thing is real......These niccaz are barely taking off the training wheels of mental toughness.
Mike at 40 was averaging like 20-22 a game but a young Michael Jordan would struggle and be clamped down
