so you're saying w/o handchecking, people would be remotely able to even come w/in a whiff of stopping Jordan?

he did what he did IN the handcheck era....

the Rockets? they can't stop Kawhi to save their live

I'm saying while Jordan and bulls are scoring 2s all game they will be giving up 3s, it's like washing DeMar vs the cavs last night, he can go off but it doesn't matter.

bulls basically have a 90s Era very good team this year with great 2 point scorers and very little 3 ball. makes it hard to win lots of games.

I think people are making light of how much adjustment those 90's Bulls teams would have to make. They weren't exactly a high scoring squad, even for their time. They were arguably the greatest defensive squad ever and then they had Mike to score enough to win. The talent is still there to dominate, but everyone but Mike and Scottie have a shit load of adjusting to do to make themselves playable in the modern game, including Rodman who at least needs to be able to finish, cutting to the basket. Movement in the 90's was a joke. The game was slow as shit. And the 3 point shooting is an issue. That said, I'm not picking against Mike, I don't care about the era.

'91 Cows: 1st ORtg
'92 Cows: 1st ORtg
'93 Cows: 2nd ORtg
'96 Cows: 1st ORtg
'97 Cows: 1st ORtg
'98 Cows: 9th ORtg

I mean, they weren't stacked on offense but Jordan alone was enough to guarantee an uberelite offense and he would do that in any era

Lol if anyone really doubts what Jord and Pip can do in this era just take a look at what Bronk did this season

pay attention derp and realize it's about the team not just those 2 players. those bulls didn't have enough 3 point shooting for today's game.

it's cut n dry, you won't win titles in today's game without a myriad of 3 point threats.

bulls wouldn't be constructed like they were back then under this rule set or they wouldn't be a dynasty. don't give af what you clowns thinking otherwise say. no team today doing it without the 3 ball in abundance. even pop who hates the 3 ball will tell you the same. you need it

 

[berimBOWLoh]

but I'm sure you armchair net jabronis know more than pop so I'll take your word for it LOL

Beri do you really think those Cows wouldn't be able to acquire 3pt shaaters if they were playing in the league today? They'd dump the obsolete bigs to create roster space and just add 3pt shaaters. ffs the Rocks signed Gordon for cheap and acquired Sweet Lou for peanuts. Cans got Korver for nothing. There's plenty of guys out there not even on an NBA team that could come in and fill that role, 3pt shaaters are the most abundant commodity in the game today lol

 

[Chris Kyle is a liar]

Those bulls teams would wreck in this era. Lebron wouldnt sniff the nba finals if he had to contend with those jordan bulls.

 

[wlu.29]

3 point shooting is a skill that can be worked on

It's about the mental strength and length

Bulls were a big team that can move well and those guys could have learned to shoot 3's better if that's what was required

Anyways you can bet against jordan

 

[wlu.29]

Luc longley was a 76% free thow shooter

Bill cartwright was 77% free throw shooter

Bull wenninton was 78% free throw shooter

Lebron wouldn't stand a chance

I agree entirely that if they're allowed to upgrade role players, Pippen, Mike and Rodman completely dominate any era.
