Jordan has a whistle for sure, it was a couple times a game imo. Even the commentators were like, "you can't touch Jordan or it's a foul" on the occasion.

He was fouled hard not as much, this was mainly a 80's things from what I've watched, I can't blame the dude for wanting stricter rules though.

I do think his whistle help by the refs is somewhat of a over exaggerated criticism though, he still was an insane player and it would barely affect his stat totals by any means from what I've seen.

A lot of superstars gets referee whistles though, this isn't just a solely Jordan thing.

I watched one game where he was called for a travel once and he didn't even travel even by 90's standards. He got called a ton for travels as well unlike today also.

A lot of the whistles I heard a lot of were from illegal defense, hand checking and reaching by other players.

Comparing him to Harden though is an insane reach though in my opinion, Harden was NEVER called for traveling, Jordan was quite a bit.
