With all the hype surrounding ‘The Last Dance’, the new ESPN series chronicling the Chicago Bulls’ 1997-98 season that debuted this past weekend, a lot of current players have chimed in about Michael Jordan’s true legacy. One of the more interesting responses was from Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant.
He believes Michael Jordan would be the most valuable player if he played in today’s NBA, even above some of his peers like Michael Jordan and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“He can adapt his game to anything” said Durant during an interview with Jay Williams on ESPN show ‘The Boardroom’.
“He would fit in as the best player in the league. That’s what he would be. He would have more possessions to do more things. More space for M.J. to go to work. We’ll never know, but for sure he’s a masterful basketball player, and like we’ve been saying his skill level is unmatched.”
