Michael Jordan could still average double digits at age 50?

According to Antawn Jamison, yes.

It's crazy to think this would be possible. But he's the GOAT and the most competitive player ever. If anyone could do it, it'd be him.

"I wouldn't doubt that in the right situation with a LeBron (James) on his team or with a Kobe (Bryant) on this team, he could get you about 10 or 11 points, come in and play 15-20 minutes," said Antawn Jamison before the Lakers played the Bobcats on Friday. "I wouldn't doubt that at all, especially if he was in shape and injuries were prevented and things of that nature."
quote:
Jordan averaged 20.0 points in 37.0 minutes per game in his 15th and final season in the league before retiring for good at age 40.
quote:
"You hear stories still to this day, especially last year, him going to the practice facility and playing 1-on-1 with the guys and still they can't stop him."

Depends on the team I guess.

I honest to God believe this.

he'd need to make about 4-5 of those points from the free throw line, but i think he could do it

If David Stern wanted him to, yes.

He's put on a few pounds. Pretty sure he's get owned if he stepped on the court today at 50. He's the goat, but lets not make him into bill braski

I dont think so. Hes been out of the game for way too long.

Humans age, and he wouldn't be able to average double figures in the league now without a lot of FTs and deferential treatment by other players.

Jordan could hit that fadeaway until he's 75 so yes he could still get double digits

He'd get them at the stripe. If you looked at him cross-eyed, a shooting fould would be called on you, even if you were on offense at the time.

15 minutes?
He could put up 14-18 shots in 15 minutes I'm sure plus 2-4 free throws and he is there

It's impossible to know without seeing him play.
But fadeaway jumpers are very difficult to stop. And that was Jordan's specialty. So if he can still hit that shot, he could score some points.
He can also let others facilitate and he can catch and shoot or drive on slow rotations.
My point is, he may be able to average 10 per game... but I think he'd be a liability to the team overall.

I think that he could, although whoever he was guarding would probably score lots more.
