Jud Buechler was a teammate of Michael Jordan back in the late 90's and won three titles with Bulls. He's also currently an assistant coach with the New York Knicks.

Being involved in the game now and back in the 90's has given Buechler an interesting perspective to a question that keeps being asked, how dominant would Jordan be in today's game?

Buechler revealed his thoughts on The Morning Show with John and Hugh on 92.9 The Game in Atlanta.

"If you dropped him in today's game, at his peak, he's still the best player," proclaims Buechler. "The rules would benefit him even more now. His mid-post game, you can't put your hands on anybody, they've taken the physicality out of the game."

Jordan was never the elite 3-point shooter that some have made him out to be and there's no question that today's game is more athletic than the teams of the 90's were, but in most people's opinions he wouldn't have much trouble dominating today.
