Do you see how bad the Hawks D is? There was no such thing as a defensive 3 second rule back then, so most GOOD defenses would have a big camping the paint.
If you notice, when the paint is free, MJ gets free points in the paint.
In today's NBA, the paint is -always- free because the NBA changed the rules to make it easier for perimeter players to score. Jordan would average 50 ppg easily today.

Anyone who thinks that kobe in his prime could even try to match up with jordan as a rookie let alone when he was in his prime is just insane. Its amazing how they all watch him after he does a move like that or after the called foul.

I'd love to see the whole game vs. Atlanta where Jordan does that amazing move where he gets two defenders in the air and splits them with that reverse layup.

i love the crowd reactions in atlanta.

The Baryshnikov of Basketball...
It is ridiculous how athletic he was as a rookie. But he was also so creative and artistic. Great upload. Thanks

Don`t forget how fast He was too.
His first step was ridiculous, just look how He blows by Wilkins like He wasn`t even there.
Rookie Jordan was something else indeed.
