Ron Artest or as he is now known, Metta Sandiford-Artest was one of the toughest defenders in the NBA. There was not a single person in the league that he refused to guard.
In fact, having been drafted in 1999, Artest had the chance to play against some of the NBA’s greatest scorers. This included the likes of LeBron James, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Durant, along with many others.
However, there is only one player that he believes has the skill and scoring sense to average 50 points per game in today’s NBA. That player is none other than Michael Jordan!
Artest sure knows what he is talking about. There can be no denying that MJ is one of the GOATs, and his scoring isn’t the only thing to watch out for in his game.
