  1. John Stockton, Dan Majerle, Chris Mullin, Larry Bird and Tom Chambers is my All White NBA starting five. Bench – Bill Walton, Mark Eaton, Kevin McHale, Sean Bradley and Kelly Tripucka

  2. Michael Jordan had a 0-6 record versus Larry Bird in the playoffs in his career. Looks like Bird kept Jordan from eating in the 80's. If not for that bad back Bird may have shut MJ out of a few of those championships in the 90's.

  3. No offense to Dan majerle but he was one of the better than average defenders MJ went up against. He made sure to get Harper and rodman on his team. Harper did lock up MJ while he was with the clippers. There just wasn't the same type of players back then. Ehlo, Starks, and Jeff Hornecek. A lot of big men who couldn't run or jump. They were just big and took up space. It was my time and I watched it all.

  4. Stop saying that era was tough. Bad defense and fouling because you are slow and can't guard isn't tough. No zone defense helped Jordan's game for years when he beat his man and the lane was open. I played college ball in that era. Today's skill level is 10 times better than then. You got 6'10 guys that can shoot 40% from 3 and cross you over. Then you had 2 skilled players max on a team.

  5. If he played today, there are so many more avenues of competition. He would be playing videogames competitively.

  6. If LBJ shot as many attempts per game as MJ he'd be averaging 40 pts./game and win the scoring title every year

  7. TBH, none of the players involved "poked" Jordan. Not in the traditional sense of most of these type of videos.Possibly could say Krause poked Jordan by praising Majerle. Eddie and Chambers just made the mistake of betting money on his basketball game. Shoulda bet on his golf game, which he lost hundreds of thousands regularly……
