Hand-checking was mostly illegal by then. But it was a big part of the game in the early '90s (Starks on MJ).
And unbelievably Jordan's best numbers came in the 80's and early 90's when the game was so "brutal" and everybody was hand-checking and offensive players couldn't even get a shot off.

Well, that's why he's the GOAT. You can't use MJ's success as proof that defenses were overrated.

And in the latter part of his career, his mid-range game was the best in the L.
