Aus einem anderen Forum eine nette Zitate Sammlung bzgl "Prime Jordan in der heutigen NBA":
"Michael would average 45 with these rules."- Phil Jackson 2007
"Players today can get to the basket individually much easier." - Tex Winter
"You can't even touch a guy now," says Charlotte coach Larry Brown. "The college game is much more physical than our game. I always tease Michael [Jordan], if he played today, he'd average 50."
“It’s more difficult now to guard the quick wing player who can handle the ball,” Rod Thorn said of the change. “I think it helps skilled players over someone who just has strength or toughness. What the NBA is trying to do is promote unimpeded movement for dribblers or cutters.”
"There is so much stuff being called out on the perimeter," Knicks coach Larry Brown says. "I can't imagine what Michael would have gotten with the hand-check rules the way they're calling it now."
Jordan's former running partner is not so sure he could have reached his own level of success under the current rules. "I'm glad I'm not playing now," Scottie Pippen says. "I wouldn't be a good defensive player."
Joe Dumars - “It would have been virtually impossible to defend Michael Jordan based on the way the game’s being called right now.”
Derrick Fisher - I know there are guys that are capable of being lock down defenders, but the way the game is being called now, with the focus on freedom of movement, it's almost impossible.I don't know if there are any. As soon as it looks like a guy is being overly physical they call a foul, even if there's not a lot actually happening.
Pat Riley - Riley admits there is a drawback to the changes. "It's visually better--you see guys with outrageous nights have 81 points, but I don't like 26 or 30 free throws by an individual. To me, that is ludicrous."
Craig Hodges - Lakers shooting coach,
Q: If you could take one player in their prime, would you take Michael Jordan or Kobe?
A: M.J., all day. There's no comparison. M.J. could score 100 points in this era. You can't hand-check now. Imagine that trying to guard M.J. It would be crazy.
