Jalen Rose agrees with Dennis Rodman: MJ would score a lot more in today’s NBA | Get Up

The Bowles of the late '90s will, of course, always be remembered as one of the NBA's most iconic dynasties, but how

would

they fare if they played the Warriors of this era? Dennis Rodman was on that team and offered this option. Scottie Pippen hit anyone six. foot nine, good God, someone was late to the link, I'm Kevin Durant, you have a hard time with Scottie Pippen and I know who was guarding Michael Jordan on the Warriors, literally, who I have no problem with, that's the green guy, dream about Keep your teeth straight, honey, listen to your mom.

Okay you know this is Dr. dr.oz called him right now honey you're a description come ask me uh so I don't have a better answer than that. We can have a conversation about the goals of the '90s versus

today

's Warriors. Those are always fun conversations. They don't lead anywhere, but they fill time, but what if he takes shots like that in the current day? Yeah, every time you compare greatness, people on both sides will feel like you're sliding one and rightly so, and in this case it seems like they're going to do that and still be warriors how many championships have they won right in this particular stretch? three right, the Bulls won three championships in a row right, twice right, right, so that's the answer to the well asked question that Michael Jordan never asked I made it to the finals and lost right, yeah, so I think if you go and there's confrontations with Bob and people always try to do this, it's not necessarily who starts the game, it's who ends the game mm-hmm, so let's not put Bogut in this.

Don't put Luc Longley in this, is there anyone playing against those late 90's Bulls, yes, their lineup was Dennis Rodman, who won multiple rebounding titles, yes, and Defensive Player of the Year, there is no one in the words from Gold State, that's a rebounding title, okay, fair enough. you have Mike and Scottie, defensive player of the years, NBA defender, same as Dennis Rodman, so Toni Kukoc was overkill for both great teams, but the answer is fly, yeah look, I think the Bulls

would

win a very difficult way. -Fought series, but I also think it's worth noting that, and I covered the teams I was with, there is no one we were talking about this morning about getting attention, absolutely no one in history who has sought the attention of the way Dennis Rodman looked for it. that's attention-seeking, so the notion that he's shouting, you know, the Draymond Greens of the world, doesn't surprise me one day.

This is the hard thing about that comparison and I hear guys talk about this all the time and Jay, who I respect and he played. the league during the time when you were playing with hand control, when you were playing with guys who were hanging out for you going to the basket, but this is what Jay says and this is what I ask people when I have these conversations about basketball and this thing I know is true about basketball from the beginning, at a time when shooting is the great equalizer and when you look at this state and when you think about the way they play correctly, it's new because when they played we were talking about this Oh, this is the new way. play basketball by the way Michael Jordan is the target I don't even miss yeah he's the target well Rodman got away with it let me focus on the conversation okay Rodman got his way to what you just say about Jordan and what. you just said about the era they played in and you said this if when I could play in this era yeah I had 50 they have 50 points liver oil is a big time no doubt if I wanted Tubb three players have ever played with Kobe Magic.

Kareem, but to microsite them, I don't know why you guys talked about a goat, why are they different? He says if Michael Jordan played

today

, he said 50, let me ask you how many points a game with Michael Jordan would average if he played in this league. this style, the way they play now, 10

more

than their highest year, so I think up to years like 35 36, they average 37. A hambo year will give us that I think they averaged

more

than that based on what you finish to say that it is the game. He's fine physically and he's not that far off, he'd be close to 50, I think he got 37 here, 10 more points based on free throws and the ability to not only be dominant in the midrange but he would also be take down three shooters so 47 MJ would get 50 and he would be one of those guys in this era that would be competing at that level but look there's always something underlying when we have this conversation when talking about Michael Jordan Michael Jordan is a great player in any NBA era, yeah, that's what we don't give these guys today.

I don't give a damn who you are. You're not going to stop Levin Kevin Durant 60 from getting his shot. I don't care if Scottie Pittman I don't care if we saw Dirk Nowitzki

score

point after point after point and then have an athletic bone in his body because he was seven feet tall. Kevin de rigueur

score

d against anyone LeBron James could play on. any era in the NBA, so I understand that I don't have to discuss all that, but Michael Jordan would do what a lot of these guys are doing now. I think we just compound the mistakes.

I'd take the Bulls at seven and we sure would love to see it, we're so glad you're watching ESPN on YouTube for more sports and analysis, download the ESPN app and to watch live sports and premium content, be sure to subscribe to ESPN and see you there.
