The NBA game has changed over the past 30 years, but former All-Star B.J. Armstrong thinks Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson is the current player most suited to excel during the Michael Jordan era.

Armstrong broke down his mindset Monday on ESPN's First Take:

"One the players I think would excel most in that era would be Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson, I think, is equipped to play in that era because of the way he plays. He's a big guard, I think he has some physicality of the game and he played the game in the way that they all played.
