inspire by the "closest player to lebron" thread that has some interesting picks i never would have thought of like George McGinnis

what players are the most like Michael jordan?whether in skillset, style of play, body Type or all of them simultaneously?

Probably Wade.

Victor Oladipo's style reminded me of a young Jordan a bit as well.

Young MJ:

Young LeBron
2018 Oladipo

90s Jordan:
Kobe

Nobody was close to being as good as MJ was at being MJ [obviously]

Peak Kobe= Second 3-Peat Jordan

This is Kobe due to the obvious fanship of MJ

Young jordon definitely Wade

1. Kobe
2. Kawhi

Oscar Robertson.

"He was Jordan, before Jordan." -Bill Russell

Wade = 80s MJ
Kobe/Kawhi = 90s MJ

Offensively it's DeRozan.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Ja Morant. His fluid athleticism reminds me so much of young MJ. The way he can contort and control his body in the air is very similar. Almost every game he has one or two mind bending highlights of a layup or skying alley oop.

prime wade - that '06 championship run in particular was the most similar to MJ i've ever seen. not only how great he was, but the style, the movement, the way he scored, made plays, etc was just so jordanesque.

kobe tried too hard to be like mj.

for wade it felt natural. real.

kobe didnt have the same athletism as jordan and wade, but his skillset resembles jordan the most, particularly second three peat jordan

Rookie to ‘88 Jordan would be Dwayne Wade

94-98 Jordan would be Kobe

88-92 Jordan would be Kobe and Wade combined. Jordan’s peak was insane
