All that work with the Looney Tunes must’ve paid off.

When someone raises the question of who the greatest b-baller in history is, the first comparison is usually drawn between LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Personally, I’d throw Shaq and Barkley in there as well, but that’s just me. One man, however, doesn’t believe there’s any room left for discussion. According to Jordan’s agent, David Falk, the conversation concluded forever ago; the greatest b-baller of all time is, and always will be, Michael Jordan. And he’s not even being paid to say that.

In an interview with The Sports Junkies on 106.7 The Fan, Falk talked up Jordan’s prowess for the game, claiming that if he were to play today, he’d completely crush the current NBA league.

“If you asked me, watching all those games,” Falk said, “with virtually zero defense, no hand-checking, I think if Jordan played today – if he was in his prime in today’s rules – I think he’d average between 50 and 60 a game. I think he’d shoot 75 percent from the floor. If you couldn’t hand-check him, he’d be completely unstoppable.”

Falk went on to heap praise on Jordan’s skills when he was in his prime 20 years ago. “I think I missed two Finals games the entire time out of six championships,” he said. “Now that I watch it, I realize that, unless you’re legally blind, you can’t possibly think that there’s another player who ever played the game that’s remotely in the league that he’s in. Nobody. On both ends of the court. The athleticism, the smarts, the drive.”
