MJ is Overrated
Michael Jordan played in an era where strength and physical dominance ruled the game. Which, in my opinion, was a big limitation of that time. Players back then relied more on muscle than on strategy or spacing. Most of the defense focused inside the paint, leaving little emphasis on perimeter play.
In today’s game, every player is expected to shoot from beyond the arc. The defense is stretched wider, and the level of skill and competition has grown tremendously.
I respect Jordan for popularizing basketball and inspiring countless players, especially smaller guards who realized they could compete with the giants, I believe he’d be just an average player in today’s era.
Honestly, I think Kyrie Irving is more skilled than Jordan. Even Kobe Bryant, with his footwork and versatility, would’ve outplayed him.
Jordan was iconic for his time, but basketball has evolved and so have the players.
Put Kyrie and Curry in other era, they will say this are the goats.
He never played against a Kyrie or Curry type of players.
