And this comment caught me:
"When people try & pull that "watered down" argument, I ALWAYS mention that 1996 & '97, 10 of 29 teams in the league won 52+ games, That's 34.5%, the highest % EVER in league history.
$!+* MJ & the bulls beat "7" 60+ win teams in their 6 ring seasons. ."

How was it watered down?
The nba was more physical than it is now, there was more skilled players then than there are now. Players now might be more athletic but that doesn't mean it's any less. Players then were determined to win, guys now just don't care. Guys now are more worried about off the court stuff.

have you guys consider that the guards being over shadowed not only by jordan and also the fact tat teams were focused on the center position, meaning that the guards dont get to do wat they want aka inflate their stats?
n plus human tend to have flash memories only reason y we think today players are good is cuz of the highlights they put out, well i have to agree that highlight on espn are probably more exciting than ones in the 90s n so we think the guards today are more athletic and talented than guards back but is tat true... can guards of the 90s not do those stuff?? cant really answer
but we can argue 90 have a tougher def scheme, no def 3 sec aka center just standing in the middle, hand check - a single nudge can decrease your vert and speed when attacking the basket
overall just sayin there are a lot of factors that needed to be consider, but we cannot diminish the fact that michael jordan plays every single game like its his last and most importantly his a freaking winner...never disappoint when it comes to the biggest stage

GP was a PG... there were a few dope SG's in the 90's .. ask jordan if it was easy playing the knicks or pacers in 6 or 7 ... or was utah's trapping defense easy to navigate.. what about trying to stop Barkley from going off in the finals... if jordan didnt get doubled it was a 60 percent chance that the shot was going in.. basketball is a team sport.. and jordan carried his team offensively every night while playing crackhead Defense against oppsing players..Originally Posted by ACBboyz84
Jordan is 2 inches taller than Gary and was way more atheltic. And beside Gary , who else was worthy of being good enough ? Clearly Jordan had it easy at his positionOriginally Posted by trunks206
Stop it. Please.
- steve smith
- reggie miller
- john starks were all stars at some point and from watching the games back then the defense was waaaay more tougher than todays rules... if jordan played in his prime this decade he would avg 40 a gm easy...
no hand check???

The league did get diluted in the 90s thanks to (over)expansion.
But that doesn't take away what Jordan and the Bulls did during that period of time.

This man was a god on the court. GOAT. My dude almost averaged a triple double while still getting 32 Points.

jordan had an invincible team.and he himself was awesome on top of that.
like the times the tried to double MJ, scottie would drop like 35.
then the next team would be like "oh !@*! dont do that."
then MJ drops 50.
it just kept going like that for 6 seasons.
7 for scottie. cause when MJ missed that season, scottie was droppin 25+ every game.
jordan had as much competion as kobe does.
hes just a lil better. well... we'll see this season, but thats another matter entirely.
