wait...what ?

Michael Jordan will forever be the most overrated player in NBA history. There are at least 4 players in the NBA today that could have won the amount of championships that Jordan won had they been in a similar position.

People seem to deitize him because he did most of his winning in an era that saw very few dominant shooting guards. But in today's NBA Michael Jordan would just be another superstar at the backcourt position.

Jordan had a few things working in his favor when he played. But had he played most of his career in the era of Magic and Bird he would also have not had the success that he did in the 90's.

No

The shooting guards back when Jordan played would make mincemeat out of these cats today.

Out side of Kobe and Wade...none can even tough Mitch Richmond as he was rarely appreciated.

Honestly these guys today can't sniff Steve Smith let alone Drexler .

Sincere question, no disrespect meant but is the 94 in your username because you were born in 94?

Yup. when healthy they're one of three teams out west with a shot at the finals.

As much as I enjoyed the NBA of a generation ago I don't think any of those players, aside from Drexler, would be able to carry a team towards a championship in today's NBA.

In Mitch Richmond's 14 year career, his teams only reached the playoffs 4 times. In 3 of those 4 playoff appearances he had at least one hall of fame player on his team. I would even select a prime Tracy Mcgrady over him.

Steve Smith was no superstar, if you're talking about the same Steve Smith who played for 6 different NBA teams and got abused by Allan Houston and Latrell Sprewell in the playoffs.

I wanna know who are these 4 players that could have won 6 rings in Jordans era?

Keep in mind these dudes would have to actually play the Bulls and win.

If he's as young as j4remi thinks he is, there's a good chance that one of those guys is Allen Iverson. :lol:

I want to see how we play Oklahoma City and maybe the Nuggets one more time before I make any statements on where this team really is at.

Gallo is not efficient though. Building a team around him and Amar'e was never going to get it done.

Lin on the other hand ....

Gallo is more efficient than Lin.
