I think if we transported them from the day they were drafted and let them play out their full careers they would both do well. MJ would be like Kobe and AI would be like Kyrie/Curry. My favorite young player right now, Anthony Edwards, plays a bit like MJ/Kobe and he is doing very well.

If we took them from their prime and let them play one season, I also think they would do well. Not sure either of them would be front runners for MVP, though. Though you never know. When MJ played PG for a few games pretty sure he averaged a triple double.

One other thing - people will say MJ played against plumbers but forget that means he played with plumbers as well. Who knows what he would do with the current stock of talent in the NBA on his team.
