i love how everyone just assumes players today wouldnt be able to adjust their games if they had to be more physical. Its so funny how people just ASSUME old players could easily transition to todays game and somehow new players wouldnt be able to adjust. Like these new players are not world class athletes who couldnt adapt.

[@kristion9774]

baron mordo they not playing defense of you do it’s a foul. Anyone can score in this era. These players couldn’t show up today with their play style from today and play in those congested lanes with all the physical contact allowed off ball and on ball and still have the same impact. And you just admitted that you said and adjust their game. No they would be playing the same game that they playing now.

What player in NBA today is considered a Curry stopper? -- exactly. when u pull up from 40ft. and controls the rock... - - u can avg 34 ppg. and be undefeated in '15. --- THAT BALL B FLYIN THRU THE AIR.... --- u watchin history.

Hmmm Steph can score from anywhere at a high % Jordan couldn't

[@ChrisDodges123]

Ross Ian Wylie Jordan can lock down a defender. Steph can't.

[@natedablack7857]

@Magic Wee Monkey MJ was the one that scores from EVERYWHERE on the court, including the post. And when it comes to who's better at attacking the hole, it aint even close. Steph can't do that or consistently score from the post. He PRIMARILY scores from behind the arc, like Glenn Rice, Reggie Miller and Reggie Miller before him. If that aint 1 dimensional then what is?!! Da hell are you talkin' about?!!

[@kristion9774]

Magic Wee Monkey Steph best season is 62 points more than Jordan’s rookie season. Jordan Bulls career averages are better than Steph best season. Jordan can score anytime he wants anywhere he wants. You have to stop him and make him score from where you assume he can’t. From 1984-2003 no nba players were successful. So I doubt players in 2016-2018 can stop him when they are the bummest perimeter defenders in nba history.

[@dominiccampbell181]

Three pointers weren't that big of a deal during Jordan's era. Also, if you consider the fact that Jordan was going to the rack on 7 footers that could commit fouls that today would likely be a flagrant, the way players are being penalized for playing defense in the only way that might be able to slow Jordan down....saying that top scorers back then would walk all over today's defenders isn't just hyperbole.

[@jazztravis6817]

Jordan could have but. He. Didn't. Have to

[@gordonwalden5961]

Fast forward to 2019 NBA FINALS and the RAPTORS implemented the aforementioned "STEPH RULES".

The next season he had 2868 points on .535% shooting, 259 steals, 131 blocks won scoring title, steals title, mvp, defensive player of the year, 1st team all defense and was 14th in block shots. When you do all that in 1 season then do it again the next season you’re playing like Michael Jordan and making an impact like Michael Jordan. Jordan is only player in nba history to do those things in the same seasons and he was the 1st that’s 30+ years ago and it still hasn’t been touched.

[@KxngKUDA]

@@kristion9774 fair, but steph led a team no one clocked as a title contender to over 60 wins and a finals berth, leading to their first championship in years. How does he follow that? By having statistically one of the most dominant years in nba history. Led the league in scoring at 30ppg, led the league in steals, had the highest finishing percentage in the paint over ALL players big or small, 50/45/90 shooting splits, 73 wins, and all done in under 30 mins a game! He did that averaging 2 and a half quarters of play a game. And his dominance uplifted the rest of his team into prominence, the biggest difference between him and Jordan's dominance. Steph's dominance allowed others around him to thrive, and that's how klay and draymond became perrenial all stars.

[@kristion9774]

Aaron Smith-Williams my guys Cavs won 57 games injured in 2016 Kyrie missed 29 games

[@kristion9774]

Aaron Smith-Williams nba has no bigs in the paint in 2016 especially not warriors they have no low post scoring threat they are a perimeter team that do cuts and back doors too score in the paint. They play 5 out Draymond at center Barnes at PF, Iggy at SF, Klay SG, Steph at PG. Bogut and the other bigs rarely played 30 or more minutes. Defensive 3 seconds also is in the nba and banned hand checking

[@kristion9774]

Aaron Smith-Williams Spurs wo 67 games in 2016 load managing! Not diminishing what the warriors did but Curry plays no defense and when he does he’s terrible at it. So offensively he lead that team but in the finals and playoffs he was injured and that team was carrying him!

You people treat Jordan as a god, he is a man, that in fact did get away with so many critical fouls in his era as well. Yet, you sre absurd to treat this matter as an offense, Curry is shooting the ball at a much higher percentage than Jordan in his days, got to finals earliers, won finals earlier, yes he is 3 out of 5 but made it 5 staright, Jordan walked outand there is not an what if, should have, would have, none of that counts, because if you do, then there are certain things that can be said about Jordan still and wouldn't have 6 championships, much as the credit that you all try to take away from LeBron James, you can never ever say that about Jordan regarding LeBron, he did make it to what is it? 8 straight NBA Finals? So Skip Bayless you are ridiculous lame.

What KG and Stephen A were saying that in the BULLS era MJ was the system and in this era the WARRIORS Steph is the system. Lebron was never this kind of player in Miami he was part of the big 3 in Cleaveland Kyrie saved him a Ring. Did KD win any ring before GSW? Nope thats why he joined and becamw part of the GSW CURRY system. Thats the main reason why he got his ring of course he did his thing. Shh KG did not disrespect MJ he just said this because this is how great players view the game. This is just not shown on media because all of these so called analyst are paid to say things based on payolas fir certain people and thats a fact.

He would have been considered the best in the world.. he choked it away lebron ripped his heart out and lebron won a chip for Cleveland and entered goat territory. Now ever since lebron beat him steph not confident in himself to carry a team anymore. He backed down to lebron by allowing kd to come to the warriors. If steph was really that nigga he would have rejected kd coming to the warriors and say I want revenge on lebron. He backed down now he just wants the easy way out now he’s trying to recruit Giannis.
