How would Jordan's Bulls fare in today's NBA?

Would they still be the top dogs?

They would probably all foul out before halftime of every game

Poorly
Styles have changed too much

They'd have to adjust to the style to keep from getting drowned by threes but Kerr was a great 3 pt shooter and Jordan and Pippen weren't bad.
Plus the 72-10 team wasn't anchored by a stiff in the middle so that wouldn't be a problem.
Once they adjusted and moved the ball to get looks from three they'd probably still wreak havoc.

They had incredible length on defense that could stifle anybody and Jordan, Pippen, Harper and Rodman would have no problem switching on defense.

Everybody can shoot now. They would unfortunately get cooked by 2/3 of the league now.

Jordan’s Bulls would still be very competitive in today’s NBA, but I doubt they’d win a championship.
Then, you have to remember that Jordan’s Bulls are all north of 60 years old, now.

They couldn't shoot 3s well enough to keep up
Their centers would be dragged away from the lane and would have to try to deal with elite driving/3s on the other end
Those 2 exploits would make it difficult

They would probably go about .500 in the league. After all, they are in their 50s and 60s.

Jordan’s game was perfect when he played. Today he would be a more athletic Demar DeRozen.
His outside shooting would hurt his game along with not having to play man to man exclusively.
He would still average 30th, but it would not be as efficient.

I see that people are not smart enough to assume that the Bulls can’t learn to shoot. Not sure how spamming three point shots = better.

Hey man! When ya gonna bring your alter Jerry back?

Teams today would have to adjust to defense and hustle.
Plus if everyone was allowed to travel, carry and shoot unattended. I think the Bulls would kill em.
But 7-foot three point shooters would be an issue.

They would probably be playing Rodman/Horace Grant as C.
Toni Kukoc as a stretch 4
I think they would be pretty good.
MJ would live at the foul line

They’d learn pretty quickly when being allowed to shoot 40 of 'em a game. Good luck defending Jordan when you have to worry about him from 30 feet

Yeah, with no hand checking , he'd destroy modern defenses.
Slow the pace, take high % shots, and play defense.
Formula is always good.

If we can invent completely different styles hypothetically, then I'll claim modern players will become proficient from halfcourt to REALLY stretch the Bulls' D
