MJ played in an era when hand checkin was not a foul! and games where so damn phisically brutal back then you could punish every "to-the-rim" action.
if u unleash 1990 MJ in this "no-hand-checkin-nba" it's all over, he would score 40 per game..
i mean, I'm a Lakers fan and a huge Kobe supporter, and I think by the end of Kobe career, if we win a couple more rings and kobe keep playin until he's 37/8, just by sheer numbers there will be room for an argument "was Kobe>MJ?" (i still think MJ was better) but this you posted is the most untrue random comment someone could have done..
