In response to "Yup. He was or is nearly the perfect player at his position. He was just a driving scorer when he entered the league. -- (edited)" by Krusty

I just remember all those games where it was just blatantly obvious that he was not going to allow the team to lose. There is no way you can really

measure that. You had to see it. I also remember how in nearly every game where he and Pippen (who doesn't get enough credit, but is also clearly the supporting actor) would just decide that this is the point where we blow open the game. The 2 of them would just turn up the defense to another level, literally following the ball all over the court until they would steal it. They would do this for 3 or 4 possessions in a row and just break the opponent.

I had season tickets through the Jordan era and it was really something to see. You could just sense the moment in the stadium. Never seen anything like it since.
