Which Jordan do you all think is better?

91 Jordan relies more on his super athleticism.
96 Jordan relies more on skills, team work.

So what do you all think which Michael is better?

Probably 96. The experience and killer instinct he had gained by than is more valuable than the slight drop in athleticsim from aging. I mean even to this day he is very athletic for an old fart.

Definitely 96.In 96 he had the UNSTOPPABLE mid range game,can u say FADEAWAY?

i'd take the '91 jordan (and certainly the '91-93 over the '96-98 jordan). he was the ultimate combo at that time of all his strengths. the athleticism, the experience, the desire. he may have had the more deadly fadeaway in '96, but the '91 jordan shot 54% from the field (albeit in a higher fg% league), and he was dominant throughout the playoffs. he was unstoppable, all the way through the finals. his fadeaway wasn't as developed because it wasn't as necessary. he had more responsibility offensively (more ballhandling duties) and defensively in '91.

kflo is right on! (See, I told you he was an outstanding poster! )

Many, if not most, pro basketball fans don't remember that...even though Jordan was "dominant" in the latter '90s run of three titles, his field goal percentage in the playoffs was absolutely horrid.

He was so much more dominant in the early '90s playoff run...to the point where he could not be stopped by anyone but himself...and he wasn't stopped.

Give me the '91 Jordan any day of the week.... If he hadn't retired, the Bulls would have most likely won 8 straight championships...

 

[Shaqs big toe]

I'd take the 91 Jordan on the 96 team. Now that would be a combo

i know we are talking about the 91 and 96 jordan's but i personally think the best jordan of all time was 93.
