I actually see that as another strike on Jordan. Todays defenses and athletes will shut down ball hogs in playoffs for the most part. Passing is how you get good looks.
I get it. The simiulation doesnt want me to have this argument. Apparently its not ok for KD and Lebron to be cheap and team up with stars...but its ok to move the goal posts to win an argument. What a time to be alive.
Besides the obvious differences in legal defensive schemes you act like Jordan couldn´t put up 10 APG, if he wanted to. But makes total sense, when you play one-on-one against a bum defender, to pass the ball to Rodman, Longley or Cartwright.
You can probably bump his 5.3 APG average up to 7.5 APG just by the BS way they count assists today, too. The inflation in triple doubles is simply a result of statkeeper shenanigans. Positive stats are a marketing and trade asset nowaydays. Until they start tracking stats via an independent 3rd party, they´ll likely be massively inflated.
