    Question Which 90's superstars would translate best to the modern era?

    Obviously Jordan would be the number one. Not ball dominant, can play off ball, strong post game, could pass well from the post, didn't have a 3pt shot but was money from 16 feet... He would probably develop a better 3pt shot in this era

    David Robinson would be a 7-1 Anthony Davis... His game would translate perfectly... He was never much of a low-post guy which isn't THAT important in the modern game...

    Hakeem and Ewing, both skilled bigs with versatile offensive games, capable low post passers, both translate well

    90's Shaq doesn't translate as well as the others...To reliant on low-post, inside buckets... He'll still score alot down there, but he will often be forced to throw the pass out (which he was good at) and if the inside part of his game is nerfed by the zone like defenses, then he really doesn't have much choices to score...

    Feel free to add who would an who wouldn't translate good/bad...

    Jordan's numbers would go down significantly to be honest.

    Well across the board I believe Jordan's raw statistic output would be less in this era than the 90's... This is not due to his talent and ability, more to the rules and nature of the modern era.

    This, I hate the fact that I have to agree with this because I will get many butthurt and hurt their feelings, but this is the truth. I love people, but I just can't lie.

    lol @ this "Jordan's numbers would go down" nonsense. '89-'93 Jordan would still be a 31-33 pt/6.5 reb/6+ ast/2.5+ stl/1 blk/51%+ FG/60+% TS player.

    Stockton would get an even bigger boost in the modern era that favors point guards. His assists would stay the same, but he would have increased scoring numbers due to being able to get to the rim more freely ala Steve Nash. Stockton would suddenly become a consistent MVP threat.
