Agreed. When Jordan passed on the torch to James. 🔥
As a longtime observer and somewhat follower of the NBA, I believe the pinnacle of the NBA is the 1980’s. Jordan worship is the start of the slide. Hanging all their flags on Jordan, move the game from the game itself to personalities. Jordan won like many DPOY awards and fouled out how many times? From my perspective, it not possible to be a defensive guru and not be sitting on the bench for being too aggressive. Referees HAD to help.
