The hardest part for Jordan to win 6 isn’t the rule differences, or the changes in the style of play.

The hardest part would be the Salary Cap and the way players move around.  I can’t imagine any of Pippen or Jordan stay on the Bulls with their relationship with management (esp. Pippen, who also wouldn’t have signed that absurd contract).

People may harp on the league being watered down then vs now, but that plays both ways. Jordan theoretically could have better teammates now 3-15 (he would have to team with Leonard, James or Giannis to have 2 be better than Pippen, IMO).

Jordan at the worst would be like a better, taller Westbrook. Better defender at the least.

It is interesting that the league has shifted to more threes and yet the three best players James 35%, Leonard 37% and Giannis 30% are not really lights out shooters.  Not to mention none of them really came into the league as shooters but got better because the league shifted.  I have to imagine Jordan would adjust some as well if he entered the NBA as a rookie now.
