Jordan and Shaq are the only guys I've seen handle double or triple teams on a regular basis.
I'm 25 so my sports watching memory goes back to 91/92 I remember the Lions run to NFC Championship just to get ripped apart (91)
Hit some youtube for highlights of Jordans drives to the hoops, you'll find hands all over the place and in his face.... The NBA these days with the "blocking fouls" puts a player at the charity stripe too easily. The only way Jordan made it to the line was by getting knocked on his ass which happened a dozen times a game often those weren't even fouls.... You as much as shuffle your feet with Kobe in the air and he's on the line.
You get refs showing Kobe favoritism (Jordan was favored for sure) simply because the guys running the NBA order the refs to. WTF was that T on Doc when Kobe clearly fouled fighting out of that screen? you'd have to be blind not to see Kobe pushing then to have the balls to slap a T on the coach... How many T's got called on Kobe for complaining to the refs?
