Part 3/8:
As players reflect on the change in gameplay dynamics, the idea of physicality emerges prominently. In earlier eras, such as the 80s or even the 70s, basketball was significantly more physical, which made scoring less frequent, often leading to games with scores around 85-90 points. Today, however, the sport has evolved, demonstrating a tendency towards higher scoring with games regularly exceeding 130-140 points. This difference flatly feeds into the notion that Jordan would have benefitted from fewer restrictions and defenses that are typically employed now.
