Barkley: There is no confrontation in the game now, Curry can t stand the collision that Jordan encountered back then

NBA legend Barkley talked about Curry during his recent speech series at Rowan University, who believed that Curry could not survive the cruel physical confrontation of the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s.

"There's no physical confrontation at all...we're going to beat that little guy up. Seriously, I love Stephen Curry. Do you think Stephen Curry can withstand those bumps Michael Jordan endured?"

"Seriously, think about it. Look back at the documentary "The Last Dance". How did the Pistons hit Michael Jordan back then? What's even more crazy is that at that time, they would only get two free throws. If you treat Jordan like that today, you'd be suspended for a month. But in our days, they (the Pistons) would only get two free throws," Barkley said.

It is worth mentioning that Bull celebrity Pippen had previously stated that if the rules of the 1990s were used, Curry might not be able to achieve success like today.
