Still one of the craziest things in American sports history. It's the equivalent of an NFL player leading the league in offensive touchdowns and winning DPOY as well.

The skill and endurance required to be that good every night on both ends is ridiculous.

See, an NFL player doing that actually WOULD be one of the craziest things in American sports history. Since you know, NFL players don't generally play offense and defense.

Every basketball player plays both offense and defense. Someone like Anthony Davis has s legit chance to accomplish this in the next few years.

It's very impressive and a great accomplishment. But you can stop the hyperbole now.

He played when you just guarded your man. Basketball was SO easy for elite players back then.

He never had to run guys off the line for 48 minutes. Was switching a thing then? I don't even know.

Guys now have multiple assignments every play and have to close out on everything because 8 out of 10 players on the court can shoot.

What Jordan had to do on defense to be considered great at it is a complete joke
