Don't try to compare the two playing styles, because obviously MJ is a much better ball handler. That's not the question.

Reggie never needed to dribble - he was good enough that you could dish it to him from anywhere on the court, with multiple defenders, and he'd STILL get it up and make the basket.

maybe we have a different interpretation of the question. i feel i have answered the question. my answer is that i would want jordan to take the shot becuz he is a much more versatile player.

also, since we've been disagreeing since the QB thread... lemme ask you something. are you saying that reggie has hit more game winning shots then jordan? or are you simply saying that reggie is a better clutch performer?

I have no clue who has hit more game winnging shots. All I know is that I've seen them BOTH take a TON of clutch shots and Reggie always impressed me much more. Hitting so many looooong three pointers with multiple defenders on him seems to take much more poise than a little dribble followed by a jump shot. Not to discredit MJ in any way.

i see. i mean, reggie definitely had his daggers. but i think my view, along with that of many others, may be skewed by the situations which jordan buried his opponents. i just feel that jordans buzzer beaters were in bigger situations (championship games), thus to me, they are more impressive.

All Wilt, baby!

He'd hit the game winner while banging three chicks at the same time.

Reggie was great at playing away from the ball and getting open, too.

Regardless, I'd take Jordan in any situation.
