Since the Michael Jordan era, the game has changed tremendously; those in his generation believe that in the present times, they would have dominated the game with ease. Earlier today, Hall of Famer George Karl expressed this point of view publicly. Karl, who spent years coaching in the NBA, took to Twitter and wrote to those debating about Jordan’s greatness. Karl noted that Jordan would average a 40-point triple-double in the modern era.

While the debate around Jordan dominating this era has no end, the folks on Twitter expressed their views by replying to Coach Karl’s tweet.

George Karl faces the brunt of Twitter after a Michael Jordan claim

Fans were quick to react to Karl’s comments and stated that they were tired of listening to this narrative. The point for them was that the game has changed, hence Michael Jordan cannot be compared to this generation. While taking a dig at Karl’s age, fans stated that His Airness would not dominate today’s game. They called for some respect and words of appreciation for the current era, citing that the game has gotten tougher. Here are some reactions from Twitter:

The fans echoed the opinions of former NBA stars Lou Williams and Gilbert Arenas. Once, three-time All-Star Arenas stated that he has grown to hate players from the 80s and 90s. He made this claim on the No Chill Podcast. He felt this way because of the narrative around the current generation of the game. The narrative calls for the present players to be “soft” and “little”.
