Message: [QUOTE="Horn88, post: 3028743, member: 7087"] I'm probably in the minority on this but I think today's defenses make it harder with the ability to have guys roam and be in position to provide immediate weak side help. Guys today are so skilled and strong that they rarely are ever stopped by the on-ball defender but it's usually the off ball rim protector or weak side roamer hedging over that forces them into a tough, contested shot. Jordan is obviously a beast on his own level and would have adjusted but would be interesting to see how teams would game plan against him with the current rules. Guys like LeBron, Kawhi, Durant, Harden probably aren't bothered much by handchecking relative to weakside help but I think someone like Curry, Kyrie, Kemba, maybe Dame wouldn't be as effective if their quickness is partially neutralized by a handcheck.
