I'm talking all of his stats, but if you want to talk scoring, the illegal defense rules helped him tremendously and the best players during his major run was Barkley and then Hakeem and then maybe Shaq by the end for a beat.

You are cherry picking one stat against guys that weren't going to beat him in literally one scoring measurement.

His titles? No way he's winning that many if he's going against the Dubs or even Bron in the east.

More MVPs? You think he's running roughshod with the MVP with KD, Steph and Bron? No.

And, yes, the illegal defense helped him a ton. What KD, Bron, Kawhi, Steph et al had / have to deal with is wayyyyy harder. MJ literally gawked about the change during an all star weekend.

It was easier for MJ to outscore everyone because the rules helped him, the best players in the 90s weren't as good as the top players now and the overall depth of the league wasn't close to as good.

So congrats on the scoring titles.
