Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 3525803, member: 889"] Setting aside the athleticism question and the quality of opponents in different eras, the thing I'd be most curious about with Jordan in today's game is how he would adjust to the elimination, essentially, of the mid-range game. Among other things, Jordan is the best mid-range player of all time. His signature move was the 16-foot pull-up off the dribble, or spinning turn-around jumper, shots that are rightfully considered to be bad shots today. This evolution in strategic thinking effectively killed the careers of guys like Carmelo Anthony. The question is: does Jordan adapt to a 3's-and-layups style, or is he so ridiculously efficient even on shots that are bad shots for most players, that he maintains his dominance without having to evolve his game?
