Re: MJ\'s Bulls vs current Spurs
Nah, Ellie never gave Jordan fits. Ellie was a good defender, true, but MJ still used to get his 30+ ppg on him.
And the Bulls used to play center-by-committee on teams with a big inside presence. Notice their success against Ewing, Mourning, and Kemp back in the days.
On the '95-'98 Bulls, Rodman would lock down or frustrate the younger Duncan and Longely and Wennington would make their 12 fouls count against Robinson. The Spurs still would have to deal with Toni, Harp, and Pip and they would have no answer whatsoever for MJ.
The '91-'93 Bulls would have Cartwright locking down Robinson like he used to do Ewing, and Pippen would help Grant at times on Duncan, although it should be noted that Grant was a great defensive player back then.
And of course this younger version of MJ would probably average 40ppg against the Spurs.
