Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 4270298, member: 60"] The illegal defense rule being around when MJ played helped him way more than the hand checking hurt him. He got every call anyway. That illegal defense rule benefited super star players more than anything now. He, himself, said so during the 2001 all star weekend. He said his career wouldn't have been the same if they had changed the illegal defense rule. A lot of the stars felt that way. Luka just had to deal with 3-2 zone, box and one, various versions of M2M with blitzs, shows, drops, etc, all in the same game. MJ never had to deal with that. And, MJ was never dealing with the rosters that can switch like they can now and, honestly, the versatility of wing defenders now. Just my 0.02. [/QUOTE]
