What influence did Jordan have on the NBA?

Question

I think huge. Think of the players that style is similar to MJ,
Kobe
Wade
Iverson
Stackhouse
Carter
James
KG
Kobe and Wade play the most like him, but all those players do little things here and there they picked up from Jordan. Kobe is the biggest example of all. He looks like his whole game came from Jordan. Wade too especially when he drives reminds me a little of Jordan.

Answer 1

Jordan brought class, style, skill, and a new level of respect to the NBA. There was no one like him. There will be no one like him. Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan. The one and only...

Answer 2

Jordan took the game to the next level. People say players today play like Jordan but the fact is Jordan was ahead of his time. There have been players like this all thought out the game. Players who really had a good grasp for the game and played it at the next level. Jordan brought a strong fan base to the game. The gambling thing about Jordan throwing games is a huge lie. Jordan gambled at Casinos had no problem but the media was looking for a fault in Jordan because he was too great. He retired because his father died and in his memory went to play baseball, a game his father loved. I the biggest Jordan fan ever. Anymore questions come see me. Any NBA questions at all holla at me.

Answer 3

I think something that has never been fully and openly discussed about Michael Jordan is that he threw basketball games he was involved with and never paid the full price for that. Pete Rose is banned for life for something much less that what Jordan did. Jordan has acknowledged he had a gambling problem but he has never told the whole story. For the good of the game David Stern let Jordan "retire" for a couple of years to try and make this situation go away. But in the minds of many it will never go away Jordan cheated and got away with it. So the answer to your question he had a bad influence of the integrity of the game.

Answer 4

Michael Jordan's worldwide popularity helped bring in many international fans and increase the global presence of the league. He also showed that no one can win a championship alone, no matter how talented he is.

Answer 5

He brought individualism to the game and ruined team play. He taught players like those you list above one basic thing. If you get the ball shoot it. forget that there are four other players out there which actually have a job other than watching you.
