I dont think anybody can keep up with MJ in his prime not even K Garnett. Again, Garnett could be taller and with his long wingspan but Jordan is way more quicker and faster, had a mortal fadaway jumper, and his post up moves are just incredible. REmenber when he dunked over Dikembe Mutombo (the so many times DPY)? yeah you get my point now.

i agree that mj is quicker, and would've probably blown past garnett plenty of times but no way could MJ post up garnett. he would probably shoot an airball or get his shot blocked everytime.. garnett is nearly 7 feet, jordan is only 6'6.

Let's not forget Michael Jordan vertical jump =) and btw I remenber MJ posting up against Garnett (who was playing tight defense) at that moment and MJ made the shot ... - in some all star game.

Thanks.

it just seems illogical for a 2 guard to post up a 7'0 power forward in an end-of-the-game situation. i haven't really seen the video but i can't really say, but i can't picture MJ posting up garnett at all.. what all star game are you talking about? 96-97, 97-98? 02-03? .. because if it was the first two years, maybe i can understand MJ nailing that shot.. but if MJ did it in the 02-03 season, i'm kinda skeptical. remember, these defensive players are in their primes too

don't get me wrong i like jordan but posting up garnett would not seem like a good choice
