Quiz: Current NBA players who played while Jordan was in the NBA

Ah yeah they were robbed by the season being a lockout and MJ decided to retire during it. Thanks Zodiac

"Not Sure why Rasual Butler is not on there. "

Because he's not in the NBA

Birdman surprised me.

lol None of Dirk, Vince or Pierce played against Bulls MJ.

Their rookie seasons were the season after MJ's last season with the Bulls.

If this quiz had have been posed last season Kobe, Garnett & Duncan would've been the only three left that played against Bulls MJ.

To the anon who said the Wizards era MJ was lame, still the only 40yo in NBA history to have a 40 point game.

Got 12 of the 17 on the list. Not Sure why Rasual Butler is not on there. Drafted in 2002 and played in the 02/03 season.

I thought above Dunleavy and Miller but didn't think they were still on a team.

Without looking above I'm gonna guess:

Carter
Nene
Parker
Ginobili
Nowitzki
Rasual Butler
Pau Gasol
Jason terry
Paul Pierce
Tyson Chandler
Joe Johnson
Zach Randolph
ron artest

I'd forgotten that Dunleavy was still in the league. Good for him!

Dirk, Vince & Pierce for MJ Bulls era. Any others?

Heard this Q on the Lowe Post - its crazy to think that MJ/LBJ didn't cross-over at all.

Jet
T Chandler
Pierce
Vince Carter

Dirk as well. Sorry for spam. I've got those three actives as playing when MJ was still on the Bulls.

and Paul Pierce.

I have Vince Carter as playing during last MJ Bulls season.

Any left from during MJ's peak pre-'99?

To be fair, I did try to find the least iffy wording to explain the idea without giving the idea that they needed to have played with (on the same team) or against (in case they never faced him), etc.

@MelbTigerTalk suggested Collison, West and Haslem. All have their pro starting year as 2003, going by Wikipedia. West and Haslem started 2003/04 and Collison 2004/05. Close calls.

Dominos is right. The Wizards comeback was lame and doesn't count.

"Playing in the "Jordan Era" and playing "while Jordan was playing"

Are too completely different things."

Too should be spelled "two", if we're going to be pointlessly pedantic.

Playing in the "Jordan Era" and playing "while Jordan was playing"

Are too completely different things.

The Jordan Era is when Jordan was dominating and winning championships - so 1990 to 1998.

Pretty close to all of them are currently in the playoffs too

The Wollongong Hawks' chances of keeping gun import Gary Ervin are firming by the minute after the playmaker's agent yesterday declared a new deal a "slam dunk".

New York-based Marquis Taylor gave the strongest indication yet the off-contract point guard would remain in Wollongong - before making a mercy dash back to the US to be with his sick grandmother.

Taylor arrived last Friday to start negotiations with outgoing Hawks CEO Wayne Morris, but was forced to cut short his stay after his grandmother suffered a heart attack.

Despite the interruption Taylor believed the MVP contender would sign for next season within the next month.

"I think it will be a slam dunk," Taylor said.

"It won't take much to keep him here.

"It's not going to be a long, drawn-out process," Taylor said.

"They have been great to Gary.

"Gary loves the Gong and they love Gary."
