Although, in my mind, a TRUE top FA is a plug and play type of player. The Deion Sanders and Reggie Whites, etc....of the world. That's the type of players I consider a top tier FA. I'd call MJ a good player, a system guy as you said, but not a game changer. Geno Atkins (when healthy) is a game changer. Vontaze Burfict appears to be that type of player.
I understand what you are saying but you are talking about guys that just do not come around every year in free agency. I would equate the guys you bring up as what they call the true 5 tool players in baseball. Not many true 5 tool players come around.
In the classes of free agents that MJ was in he was a top FA. I think that is much like the draft it is subjective as to the strength of a given class or a particular position group.
