Kobe did every move MJ did in the 90s and dominated...just imagine if MJ played today. Don't give me that crap, that players are more athletic today. Kobe was still dominating regardless. MJ would do the same...and then it's really no centers like 90s pshhh

I've never seen this argument. It's always Lebron couldn't play in MJ's era

No one is saying that, they are saying there would be better/more athletic players guarding him.

Can you guys imagine how good Jordan would be if he was allowed to travel?

I think he would be just fine in today's league.

Yeah. I think a legit question is whether MJ would be as effective in today's NBA as he was in his era.

There's no argument he couldn't play or wouldn't be a dominant player. At most, he might just not be quite as dominant.

I mean, I'd be interested to see how MJ did vs guys like LeBron, Giannis and Kawhi. Those guys are more physically gifted than anyone MJ saw in his prime. You'd have to be insane to think MJ would be just another guy in today's league, though. He's MJ.

Don't kid yourself. Jordan traveled and got away with fouls just like any other superstar from any era.

Vintage early 90s MJ would RAVAGE today's league, hell even Kobe in today's context displayed the same fire and competitiveness as MJ despite doing it in a creepier and sometimes unconvincing manner but MJ would NEVER throw a hissy fit and refuse to shoot the ball in the 2nd half of a Game 7 like Kobe did against the Suns in 2006.
