Kyrie would give Jordan more of a headache than Morant. As an opponent, or teammate.

Might have bailed out some players on D. Other players like Jordan, were some of the best defensive players of all time, regardless. |

This is why I don't engage in these type conversation anymore (try not anyway)...too many variables that need to be taken into account that people don't think about. Jordan didn't chase superstars to play with him but he never played with scrubs either and if the league had a cap in the 90's, he may not have had so many championships and, without those championships, we may not look at him win the same light. |

The variable don’t add or take away from his talent but it sure matters regarding the 6-0 finals and how that propelled his legend. |

Jordan, eh? How about someone like Reggie Miller being a super star in today's league. Better than Steve Curry? Or perhaps just as good. I don't buy it. Iverson would have absolutely torn up today's NBA methinks

Jordan after he came back from the gambling suspension was a very different player. He wasn’t as fast and posted up a lot more. Needed more help from the refs Jordan up until 1993 arguably the greatest perimeter defender ever on top of top 3 scorer of all time. Ja is a great player but he’s talking trash as usual |
