In an interview, the Memphis Grizzly star Ja Morant revealed he wished he would have played in the era in Michael Jordan, as he would have loved a chance to take on the NBA legend one-on-one. He goes on to tell the interviewer that he would have 'cooked' MJ, and while Chris Broussard is a fan of Ja, he breaks down why he's not buying that the young star would have beat Jordan in his prime. Watch as he explains to Nick why Ja would be the one getting 'cooked' in this one-on-one scenario.

@wc4201 Год назад

I remember hearing about some kid named “Mike” Jordan out of North Carolina with astonishing leaping ability. Initial thoughts on MJ was he was a great athlete but had an unclear path to the NBA because he wasn’t a shooter or passer like Magic and Bird. Not long after there was the famous report from the great Bobby Knight that MJ was the best basketball player he’d ever seen. His vertical of 48 inches was well known back then and doubted by many even though fellow team mates said his vert was actually closer to 50 inches. It wasn’t until the dunk contest and MJ’s iconic spread eagle dunk that people believed the guy could fly hence “air Jordan”. Air had a double meaning back then for Nike Air and Air as in Mike could fly.

@natureboy1313 Год назад

So his vertical was 49" instead of 48"? And his team mates were able to notice this 1" difference...amazing.

Hand checking was banned in 1979. Zone defense was also illegal pre 2001, and double teaming was barely legal - basketball was almost pure 1 on 1 you guard your own man. How many PPG you think Lebron, Kobe, or any todays stars would have with no zone defense and no double teaming? That being said, Jordan would cook Ja in any era...
