People say he can't play in today's era cause he aint got handles??? :lol

He simply doesn't have to sit there and dribble for 12 seconds to get going.

The game passed him by. Demar DeRozan at best in today

I hate the term handles, because people tend to see over dribbling, or trying to be fancy as some sort of advantage. Jordan with the ball could get to any spot on the floor, in a much more efficient, quicker way than anybody, while committing less turnovers. That's what anybody would want. That's superior.

MJ in this league of no hand checking would be 45ppg easy.

damn.. He is def the greatest individual player ever.. But Lebron is the best team player ever.. MJ is just too darn sick :bowdown:

Not sure how MJ would fare in todays' NBA.. He would dominate but he wouldnt win as many titles unless his team were totally stacked ..

Great video

Uploader has another one called "super pump". The artistry in that mixtape is off the charts.

MJ led Chicago to 6 titles...

LeBron is a more willing passer...depending what the shotclock says.

MJ had TREMENDOUS handles! By handles, I'm talking great ball control handles that could handle ANY SITUATION! The SG's in the next era like Kobe and AI displayed a bit more trickery with the rock than MJ. But the fact remains MJ had great handles. Guys in MJ's era showed the fancy handles when they HAD TOO! The guys in Kobe and AI's era coincided with the And 1 era. Which meant awesome handles BUT overdribbling and hero ball shit mixed in!

When I think of great fundamental handles, I think guys who have great dexterity with the rock. And can handle ANY type of defender who checks them. Magic and Stock didn't have the fancy handles on the level of an Isiah or Tim Hardaway. Magic's passing was the fanciest of all time though. BUT they had great ball control handles and were epic floor generals. Isiah and Tim had that AND had all the fancy trickery type of handles.

If u can run the PG in the league at a very high level in terms of floor generalship, U MUST have elite handles. MJ could float between PG, SG, and SF virtually better THAN ANYBODY because of his overall skillset. His handles was a HUGE PART of that skillset!

Um, who other than trolls say MJ has no handles. :confusedshrug:

His handle would look better with spacing - he'd have more opportunity to get a head of steam, so not like this

Players have more leeway to display their ballhandling nowadays. MJs handles were always functional and got him to his spots, some of the work was done because of his herky-jerky shoulder/head movements that needed to be honored because he was dangerous going left or right. Nobody can possibly think that Harden dribbling the ball for 20 secs of the shot clock is an optimal way to break down the defense.

It’s just a post modern style of handle or dribbling. Where more often than not players are pounding air out the rock ...

And I say that as somebody who’s a fan of it. Kyrie is my favorite player to watch in the game. But he definitely over dribbles.

Jordan didn’t need to do all that. He still had handle. When he was going against the 1986 Celtics and going through the legs multiple times before crossovers, nobody was doing that shit before him, and that was considered ahead of its time.

He had great crossovers and moves with the ball. Watch the video. In one play in 1997 there in Utah he used some post modern dribbling techniques and because he was so quick, had such a good jumper, he removes Byron Russell from the entire play with a crossover hessy combination.

There’s also a clip in that mix where he makes Bobby Phills fall hard off a behind the back dribble out of a ****ing triple threat :oldlol:

Jordan was just much more efficient with all his movement. He didn’t need to over dribble.

Mind you, as he got older and lost his quickness and hops. He started to adopt a postmodern handling style while he was in Washington ... watch more clips of him on the wizards and he dribbles more like players today do.
