Jordan.
He played back when the NBA was exciting and TEAMS ACTUALLY PLAYED DEFENSE!!! Now it is just unwatchable garbage.

those who think Lebron would beat Jordan one on one are delusional.
@CycloneRulzzz Do you still do the yearly dumbest posts of the year threads? If so I nominate this gem.
Why are they delusional? He could just back him in every time. The dude is 6-8 265 for **** sakes. Jordan couldn't have even bodied someone like Karl Malone in the paint back in his day. GTFO. I'm old enough to have seen plenty of both of these guys and they are neck and neck.
You’re trying to make your point by trotting out two LOSSES in the Finals...Really?!
Larry Hughes was the man!
NBA's always been known for lax defense as far back as I can remember. 82 games is a lot.
Might actually be the best it's ever been for skill level right now.
Now college...that's some bad basketball going on.
This is way overplayed. It wasnt defense, it was dirty. The PnR is almost impossible to defend when ran right. That's what you're seeing in the modern game. The offense is just that good.
People that say Jordan was 6-0 somehow think losing before the finals was a good thing.
Yeah and he retired for almost two years in his prime. The likely would have been 8-0
It seems to me you're spinning it in a way to fit your narrative. I don't think MJ made them into warriors. I think the GM surrounded MJ with warriors.
The bulls failed to make the finals in half of MJ's seasons in Chicago. Is that because he didn't make them into warriors yet or because he just didn't have enough talent surrounding him yet?
As for your other point, I don't know who else they lost that offseason, but I do know who else was on the team and I doubt it could account for that dramatic of a nosedive.
Crazy how that didn't happen until they had a hall of fame coach and really good players.
I think you are confusing good players with warriors. Just because you are good, doesn't mean you are warrior. Jordan made the team into what it was.
This all started by saying that MJ made his team better. I love that you're using made up things to prove it instead of just looking at the teams before and after.
Lol. Notice how Shaq and Kobe didn't even make it to the finals and then the first year Phil Jackson was there, they won and ended up winning 3 in a row.
