How would Michael Jordan fair in Zone defense?

[Freshprince619]

Im convinced it would decrease his effectiveness drastically. Jordan was a good jump shooter but not Great. And Zone will make you settle for 3's and long jumpers.

What do yall think?

Zone was illegal up to 2002. Might want to learn your sport

I think his efficiency would drastically go down.

Jordan doesn't have range and the zone will force him to shoot in spots where he normally wouldn't shoot.

Zone was legalized in 01-02. MJ put up 20 ppg on 45% shooting as a 40 year old back in 02-03. This is pre-04-05 to boot, when the league really softened up the defensive rules.

I'd say MJ would do alright.

MJ doesn't have the range in his jumpshot. If it was MJ against the Suns, his team would not do too well.

Teams hardly play zone or tough defense in Regular Season. Zone is implemented mainly in Play-offs to stop Superstars. Do you see how Celtics guarded Lebron in the Regular season Vs Play-offs? BIG DIFFERENCE!

10x better then kobe especially against suns zone defense.

So 09-10 Lakers > 96-67 Bulls?

Homer alert

Of the Utah Jazz?
You really think I like Jordan that much being a fan of the Utah Jazz? The rules have been changed to make it easier to score for perimeter players after Jordan left. If Jordan could average 25-6-5 in 02 after the zone rules were added, then he wouldn't have any problems playing like he did in the late 80's early 90's.
