Yes, he played in it and understands how easier it is when he compares it to watching old tape from the previous era.

He said the the NBA was easier than college. Nothing to do with era.

But if you want to do that:

Reading defenses easier doesn’t mean that more passing is necessarily going to take place. It just means that it’s easier to score the ball. This is why even Rodman understands that MJ would drop 50 a game in today’s rule set. Today’s players under the old rule set would make for much better basketball then what we have now.

Every single retired player ever: The modern league is much easier and sissified than in my day!

Ofcourse it is. As everyone has pointed out, he knows it because he played under the current rules. They allowed him to scythe through defenses at will. And he got back to back mvps as a result.
