re: Alonzo mourning says Jordan would average 50 today.

I can admit that overall athletes are better today because it's obvious when you look on the court. However, the 4s and 5s today are not better than those in the 90s. The athletic ability has really hit the guards and small forwards, who now dominate the league

I agree with this 100%. I think the comments about what Jordan could do today vs yesteryear is generally ignorant. (not you). People always say guys were tougher "back then". Because of the amount of $ being paid to NBA players now, the scorers get all the highlights and people generally assume that defense is terrible across the league. Its harder to score now than it was then. Again, I would never doubt Jordan but I just don't see any real reason to believe he would produce more now vs then.
