jordan 1 vs. jordan 2

as you can see, i like doing these lol

which jordan would u want? the first 3-peat jordan? or the second 3-peat jordan? i know people say jordan from 91-93 was his prime years...but, the 96-98 jordan had advantages. First of all, he had a better 3-point shot. Also, he even said himself that he knew so much more about the game. His iq was great before, but it was at his best in 96-98. He didn't have his old athleticism, but he could still hang in the air for quite a while and his athleticism was still above average. His hunger and competitive drive were the same (maybe even moreso in 96). He was obviously just as clutch and able to make the big plays. The competition he faced was fairly equal during the three-peats. And he led his teams to more regular season wins during the second threepeat, including the 72-10 season. I feel he was a better leader during the second 3-peat, too.

Those are the stats, just to help. So which one you got, 91-93 or 96-98?

91-93 Jordan quite easily. 96-98 Jordan was still a potent offensive player who could take it to the rack, a lethal post threat with his turn around jumper, and a perennial first-team all-NBA defender. But 91-93 Jordan was more athletic and an even better defender.

Completely agree. '91-'93 > '96-'98. If I had to narrow it down even further, I'd probably take '90-'92 as his absolute peak.

Jordan version 2's 3 point shooting is misleading because 3 of those years came after the 3 point line had been moved in.
