In 1987 they made the illegal offense rule so MJ couldn't isolate so easily. They had an offense in 1986-87 season that all the players would stand to one side and high and Jordan would be isolated on the other side and cook his defender. This play was made illegal in 1987, look up 1987 illegal offense rule, there is still the archive of the rule. This was to make it harder for Jordan to iso, now other players had to be below the freethrow line at least 3. So that's a comback to Wilt saying they only changed things to help him, the f outta here.

They were able to play this way because of the illegal defense rule. It was still in place until they banned it in the early 2000s (illegal defense). If you were caught, the other team was given free-throws and the possession of the ball. I always hated that rule. Why forcing teams to play defense a certain way? FIBA and NCAA never had any problems.

[@bpmachete]

@@david.tousignant20 Defense was better that way, it's the same thing as 3 second defensive rule basically, if someone spreads the floor. You could double and disguise zones, but couldn't stand in paint if spread. You could stand just outside the paint and that was enough. So no it wasn't a big deal. Today it's the same thing if people spread the floor what you gonna do you have to guard. Back then you could be close to paint.

It would be very interesting to see how the game would’ve been like today if MJ did play under today’s rules , obviously for one thing , there’s challenges , and now the game isn’t physical as it once was back in the early 80s and 90s for that reason alone

Maybe I'm wrong but for the 1st 2 that you said, The thing about the 5 second rule And the 3 second rule To me both of these just seem like logical rules to make To keep the game moving, Also I do not think that the 3 second rule limited the amount of impact that big men have in the game I think they just have to play better rather than standing right in front of the hoop

[@mve0172]

There was already a rule which was similar to the three second rule (illegal defense), but it actually applied for a much bigger part of the court; not just the paint. Limiting 'illegal defense' to just the paint made it easier to play defense.

[@NothingElseMattersJM]

@@mve0172 The old illegal didn’t mean you have to be arms length from a defender. That’s the modern illegal defensive 3.

[@davidem759]

The ban of the defensive 3 seconds it's not a logical rule to make; they cancelled the rule to prevent zone defense and make the game more flashy, given that now the paint was open to high flying wing players. Zone defense made kind of a comback in recent years but it's mostly a gimmick and works just because players don't know what to do against it, the paint it's still wide open and it would be easy for a european coach to tear apart the whole scheme. The rise of 3pt shooting would've killed zone defense organically and that would've been natural, not some arbitrary rule change.

When was Hand Checking Added to the NBA? The NBA implemented Hand Checking during the 2004-2005 season. In efforts to decrease hand-checking, clarify blocking fouls and implement the defensive three-second rule. These rules were added in an attempt to “open up the game” (Official NBA Rules History). Everywhere I look it says the official enforcement of hand check was this year after Jordan's retirement so I am not sure about your info in this video about hand checking being illegal and strictly enforced when you say, I definitely watched 90's basketball and even on the shot against Utah and Russell, Russell is hand checking Jordan to start the play. As I say every source I am finding says 2004 is when the implementation and enforcement of hand checking came about.

Knew of these, but the Bulls salary list was shocking. Made me sympathize with Pippen just a little bit. He made less than Harper, Longley and Kukoc? Crazy.

[@phillipschuman4307]

There was a time he was only the *6th* highest paid player on his own team, and about 150th 'highest' paid in the league. It was almost criminal. AND extremely valuable for the rest of the Bulls roster. He was a perennial all-Defense team selection, and eventually all-NBA first team multiple times as well. By being able to pay him so little AND keep him, the Bulls had a lot of salary room to pay all the role players more. The same was true to a lesser degree for Jordan as well. He didn't make huge money until his last two years (mostly in the $3m a year range all the rest of the time). So by the salary rules of the day, the Bulls had their best two players on the cheap, and could load up talent in the other spots.

[@cobra7282]

Don't feel bad for him. He was advised to sign a shorter contract that would have allowed for him to negotiate a more lucrative contract later, but he opted for the longer contract for personal security. Basically he decided not to bet on himself and lost a lot of money because of it.

Wilt had to understand the difference in his era and MJ's, though. The game in the 60s and 70s was frenetic and had well over 100 possessions, but by the 90s, possessions dropped dramatically and so did the points. The game got stale. Wilt's 100 point game was out of 169 team points -- a fast-paced game! But by the mid 90s, it was commonplace to see 80 or even 70 point games. Boring to a lot of the casual fans that MJ's flair brought to the sport.

If he played in the 80s, he'd be out in 12-14 seasons at least. It would basically just set his prime back.

he also never played against modern defenses, having multiple players guard him and switch on him was illegal when he played and that's how every successful defense currently plays. he would be the man still but there's a disconnect about how defense is played now. handchecking is no where as effective as being swarmed by long armed defenders in droves.

[@kkbaby30]

MJ played against zones in college so he'd be just fine in today's era. He'd shoot more 3s (when he averaged 3 or more per game his % increased) and driving to the hoop is pretty easy as Centers are now driving from the perimeter with ease. He also was a superb point guard for the last 26 games of the 89' season, avg. 30ppg, over 10 assist and 9 rebounds.

The luxury tax need to change. It's unfair to the team that finds success by nurturing homegrown players into superstars, yet still punished the same as the teams with rosters consisting of nothing but nomad superstars, or even bad teams, those neglecting the rookies. There should be some incentives for teams those fall into the first group.

[@kookybuger]

I'm not sure if we'll ever see a happy medium for the luxury tax, there's literal billionaire owners now so I'm sure some will be happy to offer more than other teams which would make others upset. It's also unfair to a team like the Warriors who organically built a great team but could lose solid players due to having a crazy luxury bill. So I'm not sure what the best solution would be in this scenario, they can soften the tax a bit but I'm sure others will take advantage if they do, making exceptions could also be exploited so I'm not sure what they could realistically do.

No hand-checking rule in 90s was easily defeated as players stuck their forearms instead of hands on opposing guy's body and argued they were not "hand"-checking. So NBA had to go harder on these rules in 2004 to completely remove any remaining HC tricks left in the game.

The Flagrant Foul rule was actually introduced in 1980-81. In 1990, they amended it and added two categories for Flagrant Fouls, and imposed stricter penalties, along with fines ($250 if ejected, haha)... and they actually started to enforce the rule which had been around for a decade. It wasn't just MJ and the Bulls ... Pat Riley had been complaining for years as well about the Celtics and Pistons playing dirty.

Since they added the flagrant foul in 1991 (which is good, the incentive to play the game cleanly) and the hand-checking ban in 1995... defensive 3 sec violation on top, in 2001, is too much. Defense should be a decent collective option, not a joke like it's today. Defensive 3 sec violation could be undone.

Luka has been on record that the D3 rule is largely what makes the NBA an easier league to score in than Euroleague. With the current domination of play away from the basket it would make sense to get rid of the D3 rule and give the defense some sort of an even playing field.

It's true that it was outright banned in 2004, but the NBA had tried to minimize it's impact once in the 80s and again in the mid 90s. Those first two attempts didn't really do much to change it though. You might remember a while in the late 90s early 2000s where it was common to put your forearm in the chest of the dribbler. This was because they had gotten a bit more strict on hand checking and that was the adjustment to it. Then in 2004 they introduced freedom of movement rules and simply went too far the other direction..

The only positive that came out of the shorter 3 point line was that teams took more threes. However it only slowed down the pace of the game more because it made spacing even worse. As for what guys would do with that line today, they would probably just stand 3-5 feet behind it for more spacing.

A whole book was not written about the Jordan Rules. The book 'The Jordan Rules' was authored by Chicago Tribune reporter Sam Smith, released in 1992. It was about the Bulls' 1990-91 season and Jordan's role and influence on the team and his teammates. The fact that it shares a title with the Pistons' 'rules' for defending Jordan is a coincidence. Tiny bit of research would've told you this, although any real basketball fan would already know.

[@frankboi08]

I wish the flagrant foul was implemented a lot sooner, that way Jordan would've had a fighting chance to be able to win those lost series and would have won more titles than he has now. He would've nearly had 10 rings today if so. Close to Bill Russell for sure.

This is why the nonsensical idea that MJ won due to rules changes is false. The only change between the late 80’s til 91’ was the flagrant foul. Hand checking still existed, still no defensive 3 seconds which since that’s been implemented look how easy it is for any wing player to take it to the cup. No HC and defensive 3 secs.
