He took a team of role players ( minus an old Mutumbo and Kukoc) to the finals and took a game from the Lakers. He was a great defensive player as well. He was basically 20 years ahead of his time. I'd love to see what he could do in today's NBA. He's probably second to only Isiah when it comes to small NBA players.
I'd put him ahead of Isaiah myself. Maybe Isaiah was a better pure point guard, but he never carried teams like AI did.
Give AI a team with guys like Dumars, Rodman, Laimbeer, Mahorn, etc and I think he would've had 3-4 titles.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
