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.
Better player 2011 Marion or 2003 Jordan?

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.
