i dont agree with Sally. And what if you got to push Kobe,Lebron,Wade to the ground?These guys get so many calls.The league rule changes are helping players put up better numbers.They couldn't take it to the rim like that knew Jordan played.Also did he say who was the best player or better then MJ?

Larry Bird is the best player. MJ had 2 learn 2 be a team player. Ball hogging ass. Phil Jack had 2 teach him team ball. 2 trust his players around him. MJ in practice fought with his players. When Larry came in2 the league he knew team ball MJ didn't he just knew me, me, me, me ball.

With the hand check thats why Jordan would have been even better in these times, they would not be able to hold Jordan in these days he would get around everyone so quick, thats the main thing defense was alot harder in Jordans time and rougher imagine jordan now when he can be hand checked that would be crazy, and one LBJ needs all stars around him to win he couldnt do it with his own team, Magic's LA team had great players on his team, Jordan had pippen past pippen he had role players thats it, when he had Dennis rodman he was a role player defensive player/blocker and good at rebounds, the rest of his teamates always role players not great all stars, magic was a great passer but he had so many great players to pass the ball to or a great center, dont forget Jordan was a great passer also, Jordan was always double and tripled team and always found a way to get in the air and do some great passes to his team, thats why all Jordan needed were shooting guards that didnt have to be able to shoot of the dribble all they needed to do was be in spot catch that pass and shoot, , no one made there teamates better than Jordan , Jordan made average players better and won rings with alot of avergae players that would have not been shit on other teams just role players, Magic played with some greats, magic came into a winning championship team, Jordan had to built the Bulls into a known franchise, so is he telling me you will start a team with people in there primes and you wont go with Jordan over Magic??? plus Sally never had to defend MJ he they just fouled him, Sally couldnt defend MJ he always had to foulf him hard thats why they were called the bad boys in detroit u just rub someone enough and its a foul these days, how would they stop jordan now in these times, and those big hands were a big advantage for MJ how many times would he act like he was going to shoot the ball and the other player would turn around to look at the shot and Jordan brought the ball back in and just ran around the player making him look silly and go for the easy dunk, MJ even did that to Kobe a couple of times, take away the all stars around LBJ and he wont win shit just put him in a team with role players and watch him collapse and ask for a trade,

This is his opinion coming from the perspective of a guy who played with an older Michael and against a younger, less skilled Michael and played with an up-and coming Kobe and against a Magic, Bird, McHale and Hakeem (formerly Akeem) in their primes; against an aging but still effective Kareem, while playing with Isiah Thomas in his prime. Whehter you disagree or agree with him, you have to admit he has the perspective to make such an induction into an argument. Very unique perspective. McHale was often slept on in the hood. Dude's up and under move was money, like MJ's turnaround form the elbow.

Imasayit...Mj was one of the GREAT legends of basketball, was he thee greatest?.....some say yes some say no but I still say he copied ALL his fucking moves from Dr.J and that's ok, everybody copies something off of somebody
