The OVERALL level of talent back then was pretty bad bruh

Evolution has taken place in everything except nba basketball. Let these old farts tell u.
I don't know what to tell you but Jordan in his prime was playing with and against the perfect storm of athleticism, physical defense, and refs not completely dominating the game the way they can now when it comes to the best teams playing against each other. Plus there wasn't anywhere as much flopping among the stars.

The players now have to deal with every defensive scheme being legal

Before 2001 you couldnt pack the the strong side, research and you'll see after 2001 players who played in both eras points and fg% dropped after they got rid of hand checking and illegal defense
 
Im not tryingg to say Era A is harder then Era B or vice versa just saying both eras have their respective challenges

And as such its not fair comparing stats from different eras cause the game has changed so much

You just focused on me mentioning athleticism.

That's really not the way you should go if you're gonna dispute my point. I did not say when Jordan played the players were more athletic than the players now :smh:

I'll look up the fg% stats before and after 2001 but from what I've seen in the past 13 years the biggest change is the amount of teams implementing the zone.

What did the '87 team ever do? :lol:

At least make a strong statement and say the '96 team.

Lets just forget how MJ, AS A 40 YEAR OLD, carried a team and scored 20+ on a nightly basis on this soft *** league.

No 40 year old today would EVER average 20ppg in MJs era.
