First off he was 39 years old and still was a top 20 player in the league. The Wizards had Chris Whitney, Kwame Brown, Jahidi White, Popeye Jones, Courtney Alexander and some of the other worst drecks ever and they still won 37 games. I forget how Kobe couldn't make the playoffs when he had Caron Butler and Lamar Odom in 2005. BTW Jordan missed 20 games toward the end of the season due to injury. He still had flashes of 50 point nights. The defense today is not better. No big man knows how to close out today. It is not just about 1 on 1 defense. Close out defense is just as important and not many teams understand how to close out on players. I Forgot how many teams today play defense like the Knicks of the 90s did or the Pistons of the 80's did. What a Joke! Are you the most insane idiot who has ever lived.

Are you really that dense? And don't forget that Jordan is the first and only 40 year old NBA player to score 50 points in a game. I doubt very seriously that we'll ever see another old man pull that off. "the defense tougher" FALSE - back when Jordan played, the defender could hand check. Now hand checking is considered a foul. One of the many rule changes the NBA has installed that makes playing defense harder. The guys back in the 80s and 90s had to work alot harder to score their points. Read up on your NBA history son. You are sadly ill informed on matters of basketball if you think today's NBA is better than the old NBA. The ratings for NBA games has dropped for a reason. It's just not the same league anymore. No one knows how to play defense. The players have half the baskeball IQ that the guys of old did. Today's NBA is a dumbed down version of what it used to be.

When children make statements like this it shows their lack of respect and knowledge for the game. Congrats, that's you kid. See Guy above me.

If a young and youthful MJ played in our time, he would still be dominant and everything. Now if we are talking about Bill Russel, Bob Cousey, Pistol Pete, I think they wouldnt be as good as they were during there time. Same with the great Minnesota Lakers George Miken, he wouldnt even make todays modern NBA Dont forget, Michael Jordan in the early 00’s was really old.
