micheal Jordan said there are only 4

players in todays league that could hold up/play in his era cause they are all soft.

hard to disagree. put the Detroit pistons,new york knicks late 80s early 90s squad in todays league and some players would probably cry or walk off.

bill lambier alone would make 90% of todays players cry in a towel on the bench

Dunno that much about basketball honestly. I just heard an argument my boy Shane had the va? With comparison between Kobe and lebron and Jordan. Obviously the first thing that comes to anyone’s mind when they think top 3 right? Even without knowing of basketball. Noted

Pippen + Jordan + Rodman trinity can beat any 3 top players of the past 10 years.

100% agree with the goat.

Patrick Beverly, and I’m not sure who the other three are that would be tough enough to play in Jordan’s era.

what about the bs refs from today who give out Ts as soon as someone stares in another player's direction.

it's not just the players who've gone soft....it's top down.

So he mentioned only one from today's league - Lebron. The other three had already retired at least couple years back.

Having watched the NBA all throughout the 90's, I think there are about a dozen others currently playing who could've played and done well.

Depends on how the game is called from the refs. The no hand checking and lack of physicality in today's game would make a huuuuge difference. Of course it goes both ways, Jordan would be completely unstoppable today.

The four he mentioned were Kobe, Duncan, Dirk, and Lebron. I'd agree those 4 would be great in any era.

cant argue against that.

thats why its such a hard choice to make. one pretty much weighs the other out to where they come out even. maybe its a personal bias but i give a slight edge to hakeem as the better all around center

kareem and david robinson get a nod too for honorable mention but shaq and hakeem would be my go toos if i had to choose one

A young Shaq could have played today I think, his movement and foot speed for his size were incredible. Could have held his own on D enough, he would have been a monster on the other end. Older Shaq would be a huge defensive liability in today's game.

I think Shaq said Yao Ming in his prime years was his toughest matchup if I remember right.

Couldn’t agree more. LaClown would be just another player out there crying as Jordan flew past him.

Edit: not to mention the way those teams used to play so physical. He couldn’t handle that at all. He can’t cope with what happens now and it’s basically nerfed af as a league.

This. Prime Shaq was a mountain of size AND speed.

Shaq played in Jordan’s era…

Dirk did to an extent as well, playing in the late 90’s. Duncan at the tail end, but the league hadn’t gone completely soft in the late 90’s- early 2000’s.

So Lambier and the other 3 are?

"Those select few? Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Tim Duncan, and Dirk Nowitzki."
