Always thought it was very overrated by the media. Great lay-up but it's not even in his top 5 best lay ups.�
Now this right here is incredible
Now to the question. Sadly, I didn't have the opportunity to watch him tear it up during his first couple years in the league but I did get to watch most of the Bulls domination during the latter half of his career so I can't really speak on the first part of his career. Looking back,I'd say that his prime where he was at his peak in terms of performance and success would probably be '91-'96 imo. I see that he was an absolute MONSTER in his first few years in the league but he hadn't reached the level of success that he did during the 90's.
I'm just bitter because it was against my team.Originally Posted by dland24
Been saying this for YEARS. I actually even made a thread about it years ago. It is THE most overrated play in the history of sports.Originally Posted by seasoned vet

91-93 he was just on another level.
MJ was dope... but he would only average 23-25ppg if he played in the NBA today.

Sounds like a spice.
Jordan averaged 22 ppg at 40 years old, so I don't see how anyone would think he would only be able to get 23-25ppg in his prime.
Ol' ESL sounding boy tryna throw shots.
LOL... I was obviously reaching on the ppg...but he wouldn't be putting up 30+ppg like in the 80s and 90s...
On top of the rule changes, people don't realize that back in the day, players took pride in their defense and relied on little to no help when guarding stars... Can you imagine what we would be saying about Lebron James if he played in the late 80s-90sand I hate the guy.
How come people get so butt-hurt when you don't think that MJ would be nearly as legendary if he played today?
This! plus that's not an easy play esp with how he was leaning in the air. Go try it in a regulation game. Basically like said above; it was a "get on my level" arrogant move. Like when he would flip the ball behind his back n hit his wrist at the end of playsOriginally Posted by Mez 0ne
The switch hand had a lot more to do with telling the Lakers that its his time, and he will do whatever the hell he wants and they won't stop him. It was such an unnecessary yet big statement play.
