MICHAEL JORDAN DROPPED HISTORIC 63 POINTS AGAINST CELTICS AFTER LOSING ON GOLF COURSE

“He can adapt his game to anything,” Durant told ESPN host and former NBA player Jay Williams during the show. “He would fit in as the best player in the league. That’s what he would be. I feel like he’d have more possession to do more things. But there’s also more athleticism in this game, there’s more length in this game. There’s also more space for MJ to go to work.”

The difference in eras is one of the main factors in the debate between Jordan and LeBron. Jordan played in an era where hand-checking was allowed and players would get smothered by the likes of Bill Laimbeer or Charles Oakley when you entered the paint. On the other side, LeBron has played in the same era when the three-pointer became more prevalent.
