PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Remove MJ's Privates from your mouths immediately...
EDIT... also i keep hearing how MJ dominated in the era of the "Big MAN" which means a majority of the best players were big guys, which means Jordan a majority of the time didnt even guard the best player on the other team like Barkley, ewing, DRobinson, Hakeem, Shaq, Mourning, he was guarding a bunch of bums that are not even close to being as good as Rose, Wade, Kobe, CP3, D Williams, Westbrook...Now Jordan guarded a bunch of bums, are you kidding me. The likes of Reggie Miller, Mitch Richmond, Magic Johnson, Kevin Johnson, Clyde Drexler, Tim Hardaway, Penny Hardaway, Gary Payton, Mark Price, John Stocton, Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars and the rest of the bums in Jordan's era are overall less athletic than the guys that you mentioned but their basketball IQ is higher overall. The funny part is that these bums put up numbers as good as those you mentioned. What you can make up with athleticism is having heart and being smart (Larry Bird). If being athletic is everything, is CP3, D Williams, Rose and Westbrook who are all pont guards better than John Stockton, Gary Payton, Isiah Thomas or Magic Johnson???
By the way the centers of the 1980's and 1990's are superior to the centers of today. Shaq's gone and Tim Duncan is the last of the breed who played in the late 1990's. Dwight Howard is really the only good center from this era that is around and still improving. These perimeter players today are so lucky, thanks to David Stern with these soft rules to prevent centers and power forwards to clog the lane for more than 3 seconds (defensive 3 second violation) just to increase scoring for the guards and small forwards.
On a side note, Michael Jordan is a LOCKDOWN DEFENDER!!!
lets see Miller hardly ever created his own shot and barely had handles, he needed screens to get open and pop 3's granted he was great at it thats like guarding Kyle Korver nowadays, he may have been one of the best back then but today thats called Kyle Korver...
Magic did nothing but OWN Mj until Magic was Old FAT and Hiv infested, that Magic Jordan played in the finals WAS NOT NEAR Magic in his prime, plus Pippen Guarded him most of the time...
and Mitch RichMond?? Kevin Johnson?? Please if your seriously saying guarding these guys is ANYTHING like guarding CP3 or Westbrook or D Rose, You just need to tattoo MJ's Privates on your face right on your chin...
Drexler was great but show me some PROOF that Drexler was held to 2 points every 4th quarter of the finals against MJ with MJ guarding him, like Bron did to D rose...
Wow man Tim hardaway and Penny and Ehlo??? the only ones left with skill are Stockton and Thomas and stockton wasnt EVER puttin up 40 in playoffs like a Westbrook, or 38 like D rose he actually let the real best player on the team do all the scoring Malone who MJ DIDNT GUARD.... anyway Mj guarded Russell when they played the Jazz and was he some all star stud i didnt know about?? NOPE he was another bum... But arguing this is pointless with a MJ LOVER because everyone back then was SOOOO Superior to players from now... Glen Big dog Robinson was the original Lebron huh???
