What separates Jordan was his ability to score. Some people just have that natural ability around the rim and know how to create separation.
More players are ridiculously good at it today than in Jordan's day, and do it at insanely efficient clips.
Jordan wouldn't be pedestrian today, but like I said, he was ahead of his time, so he stood out in ways that even better players today do not because he was the "first mover."
That's not to denigrate MJ, either--what he started caused the game to improve in a way it might not have had he not come along.

I agree with ya TB. I was just saying he wouldn't be an average athlete. He was still a 40 inch vertical kinda player.
