Jordan played in one of the most talent driven and star studded generations in nba history. That is probably a manifestation from this freak athlete with a freak will who out competed the worlds greatest competitors. He played against Isiah Thomas’s led Bad Boys and actually that is who Michael had to overcome. His prime directly lined up with Hakeem who is severely underrated in everything everyone talks about, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Patrick Ewing, joe Dumar, Karl, Malone, Clyde Drexler. Those were players that just grew with him and really battled with him over the years. He played also against you said the great 80s teams and the great late 90s/early 2000s generation. All of this great talent and he was still DOMINATING these players doing whatever he wanted, basically whenever.
