Could the cavs with prime Michael Jordan beat the Warriors?

OK.

>>76367414
too quick and intelligent, nobody could stop him. if you prefer old man jordan he just beats you with the fade-away jumper which he perfected.

No, he would call Lebron out as the baby back bitch he is thus leading the team to collapse.

>>76367388
On the Cavs? Yeah, for sure.

>>76367441
He played without zone defence and relied on penetration and FTs to score consistently.He would be a more athletic DeRozan

Na
If anything he would be just a taller Westbrook

Can you repeat the question?

>>76367786
Pretty sure Jordan never shot 15 percent from the field for a year while stat padding like a nigger, and in fact won 6 titles. Could be wrong though.

>>76367748
nope

>>76367826
Jordan played without zone defence. He was a penetration baby just like Westbrook. If you remove zone defence Westbrookcwould be shooting 50+FG%

>>76367748
He was routinely double teamed the second he touched the ball. Ever heard of the Jordan rules?

What is it with Euros thinking zone defense is some kind of magic defense that shuts everything down? Nobody uses zone and for a reason.

>>76367388
Kyrie
Jordan
Lebron
Thompson
Love

I think they could win

>>76367388
Easily. Jordan beat the fucking Monstars with a team full of tiny cartoon animals with no prior athletic experience.

>>76367388
It depends. Do the Cavs still have Lebron in this scenario? Because if so, then absolutely.

>>76368486
They're used to watching soccer where spic manlets with average athleticism can become GOAT. There's some strategy in basketball but compared to most sports it's much more of a raw talent competition.

>>76368531
They have the same team+MJ.

>>76368551
Ok. Cavs in 6, then. They take games 2, 4, 5, and 6.

>>76368508
I think that Irving would become irrelevant if MJ joined the team

>>76367388
It would be a murder. Warriors would have no chance.

>>76368604
No, you still need a decent 3 point shooter out there.

>>76368610
>It would be a murder.
I wouldn't be so sure. They can't outchuck the Warriors and have no answer against Durant

JR Smith has a +/- of -18 in this series. Replacing him with even a decent shooting guard transforns this series. Replacing him with Jordan of all people makes the Cavs the favorites.

>>76368640
MJ has clutch blood running through his veins. It's impossible for him to lose a final, even if to he had to hire someone break Durant's legs he would do it. You don't go 6 for 6 just like that.

>>76368669
He played against current Boston tier teams in the finals

>>76368697
Had to get past some amazing teams just to get to the finals, though. Harder to get there, but easier to win after arriving. Basically the reverse of Lebron's siutation.

>>76368798
>Had to get past some amazing teams just to get to the finals, though
Old celtics and bad boy Pistons? Don't make me laugh. The 90's are literally the weakest era ever with the 70's

>>76368904
90's were the second best decade after 2000's

>>76369154
>90's were the second best decade
Kek
>after 2000's
KEK.The 2000's were pretty lackluster in terms of tactics and players.When a meme like Iverson or Kobe represent your era you just know it was shit

>>76367414
Exactly

If you replace LeBron then no, replace Smith and yes. Jordan is arguably the best defensive guard of all time and would be able to do work on Curry. Then you have also one of the best inside finishers of all time as well, and we all saw how well LeBron used lay ups

do the cavs get Pippen too?
96-98 pippen was the 2nd best player in the league lol

I like how all of Jordan's playoff games are on YouTube for free. They're more fun to watch than these finals.

Series isn't over yet, guys. Lebron will pull through. He always does.

>>76372080
90's level was as low as current collegeball

>>76372097
Not that anon, but I just watched some of them games. More exciting than anything in these play offs.

Good posts

>>76367427
You know there are 4 other defenders right

Jordan would trash talk the GWS into insanity.

>>76372547
>He believes trash talk
*tips*

>>76367748
>He played without zone defence
You never watched Jordan play. It was common knowledge that teams played zone against him.

The question should be if Jordan replaced Lebron on THIS cavs team, would Jordan win

The biggest argument Jrodan babies have is muh Jordan never lost the finals, yet Jordan would certainly lose against these warriors playing on this cavs team if he replaced LeBron

>>76372547
>shoot it you midget
>ok

*drains three*

Jordan as he was would unironically be worse than curry in today's game. If he retooled and focused more on 3's and got significantly better at them then he could still be great but not as the player he was in his time.

As such if we transported mod-90's Jordan onto today's cavs they would certainly be doing better, especially in perimeter defense, but they still wouldn't be able to outchuck the chuckers.

This just makes me want to see the Spurs v warriors without kawahi and Parker out. Would have been a great series

>>76373424
Kek

>>76373348
KD would drop 50 ppg in the 90's. Not even kidding. MJ was just lucky to get in a weak ass era in which his biggest threat was a mediocre teams Malone and Ricky Rubio light

>>76373402
>kyrie
>Jordan
>shumpert? idfk who would replace lebron. richard jefferson?
>thompson
>love

yeah they'd be humiliated.

>>76367388
I would say yes

>>76373545
So Jordan babies have no argument then cause he never faced the level of competition that Lebron has in the Finals?

Jordan BTFO

>>76367388

No Tyronn Lue is a horrible head coach. They would need Phil Jackson and maybe Pippen.

>>76373671
>Phil Jackson

>>76368904
>Old celtics and bad boy Pistons?

>>76373738
as in the celtics and bad boys, who are now old because it's the 90's

>>76373858
Oh, ok.

>>76373858
Pistons were like 2 years older than Jordan

>>76373912
Sure but by the 90's they were at the end of their prime while jordan was just reaching his

>>76373661
Jordan was assaulted and battered on his way to the basket in his era and still put up explosive playoff numbers. Under today's rules he would shoot 40 free throws a game, or defenses would be forced to back off and get assraped for 60 points.

Deal with it faggot. You can't compare eras without examining everything.

No they weren't. Jordan won his first title at 28, 30 is not "end of prime" that would be 33

>>76368904
Please don't tell me you think that the current Era is stronger. Some foul drawing, traveling, free throw reliant, stat padding faggot named james "I use my beard as a cum catcher" harden is unironically considered one of the best players in the league. He would be seen as a more selfish starks if he played in the 90s. Fuck, look at the centers and power forwards in the league today compared to the 90s. The only thing better today is 3 point shooting and that's only because of the volume shooting happening today.

Don't try and say the players and more athletic now either because they aren't

>>76375014
Harden would literally be the best SG of the 90's.He is better than DeRozan and DeRozan is Jordan without refball

Get a trip so I can filter your dumb ass

It'd be too easy. MJ would just chat shit to Durant until he cried and planted himself on the bench in tears and his elite defense would smother Klay or whoever else gets hot.

if you replace jr with jordan. Cavs would sweep. You have the 1st and 2nd greatest players in nba history on the same team. How do they not win?

>>76375430
Durant is better than Jordan at everything.Jordan wouldn't even make it to the All-star game in the current west

Instead of LeBron? No, they would get demolished
Just on the team, yes. If you think no you're retarded

That being said the Warriors would sweep the 96 Bulls and win every game by 30

I think unquestionably yes if they still have Lebron. If MJ replaces Lebron then I'd say still no.

is hand checking allowed? then Warriors in 7, if yes Bulls sweep in 6

Cavs with prime Ron Artest could beat the Warriors desu

Irving/Jordan/Shumpert/Thompson/Love? No chance.
Irving/Jordan/Lebron/Thompson/Love? Yes, I'd even say that the Cavs would be the favorite in that scenario.
