I'm sure there are many factors.
The NBA was very physical in the 80's and early 90's. Hell, the Piston's entire gameplan to slow down Joran was just to beat the hell out of him. Then you have the fact that teams didn't really practice "load management". Outside of the 85-86 season for which he was hurt, Jordan started and play 82 games almost every year he was in the NBA. Finally, Jordan probably didn't take care of his body like Lebron. I'm not saying Lebron doesn't do this to some extent, but Jordan was always smoking cigars, drinking, and staying up late gambling. That was kind of the norm for professional athletes then. Now guys are much more focused on their health.

That pistons team has completely ruined NBA discourse lmao.
Hey guys this one team was full of thugs and and the refs let them hammer people relentlessly for a couple years. So they were a fair representation of the average nba team for 15-20 years.
