Better player 2011 Marion or 2003 Jordan?

Inspired by IdolWOrm's mock team that has Wizards Jordan and Hedo Turkoglu starting over 2011 Marion. Who would you prefer on your team?

Marion (12.9/2.6/23.3) is playing just under 30 minutes a game with a ts% of .551. In the playoffs this drops to .509 but he is the primary defender against LeBron as Dallas beats the Heatles for the title.

Jordan (8.9, 5.6, 29.6 /100 possessions) plays big minutes, over 3000, and a high usage at 28.7 but is grossly inefficient at .491 (though certainly up from 2002). He doesn't make the playoffs.

Both play 80+ games.

Jordan to sell more tickets.

On a serious note im leaning towards Marion for the defense and rebounding . Granted i barely watched the farewell year of Jordan but from what i recall he was really on fumes on his last year but i dont remember much so i could be wrong.
