Everybody always says how great of a defender Michael Jordan was throughout his career. Truthfully, you can be a great defender, but definitely run up against players with offensive talent that you can’t stop or control. Rod Strickland was one of those type of players for Jordan

[@Dymez510]

Facts, but to be fair Jordan did lock him up the whole series in ‘97. Held him to 42% shooting and took the whole Bullets offense out of rhythm. Strick scored about 20ppg but took so many shots, the most shots on his team to get it. Webber and Juwan were the leading shot attempters on that team all season, but Strick was forcing his and Mike checked him. All great defenders are gonna get beat sometimes.

Jordan always had a problem with quicker guards that play up front. Isiah and stockton would often get him on a basic right left crossover, young AI got him. You can't hand check if a guy plays up front.

[@Melbester9]

Good thing you said this because I noticed this too. Quicker PGs seem to get past Jordan. Even the GOAT was exploitable. I never seen MJ get roasted on defense like that for how good of a defender he is. He does get his steals and blocks at times but speedy guards was his weakness. At least he was too good to make up for the small weaknesses he had that carried over his teammates. Don't forget about Gary Payton too for Sonics. He was good against Jordan for a quicker and defensive PG that can score.
