Jordan had to deal with something similar to Edwards early in his career when he faced the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons were super physical with him and made sure to put a body on him anytime he went to the rim. Jordan came back the following season and found a way to combat that physical play, and was able to dominate them for years.
