Mike was really like that though. There were several guys in that generation that were. But that idea that basketball hasn’t improved since he retired is wild.
Mike was a modern player in an era where he stuck out because there wasn’t perimeter players who could dominate the game like that.
If we didn’t have a Mike we wouldn’t have gotten the game we have now today. Arguably the second best wing in the league during Mikes prime was literally on his team.
But that doesn’t mean other players from the 80’s and 90’s can boost their legacy off his coattails.
