The heavyweights, of course. LeBron, Durant, Kobe...not sure about Wade since he's both smaller and not faster. Maybe Melo...Dantley and King, as well. then PGs like Curry (he'd drive him insane), Russ..

To add something to what Swagalicious said, I think peak Brandon Roy would be very difficult to guard for anybody, even for Jordan (just ask Artest and Battier).
Obviously peak McGrady, too.

I'd guess the little superquick guys like Calvin Murphy or Allen Iverson. They would make him run around an awful lot and burn huge amounts of energy trying to keep up.

Peak Wade is at least arguably as fast as MJ.

Who could guard Dantley? Nobody, he was unstoppable.
From guys not being mentioned - Gervin (another unstoppable player), Oscar, Dr J, Baylor, Melo would be too strong for Jordan
