Jordan was an extremely smart player and everyone knows it. He wouldn't have to shoot 13 more shots a game like people are saying. He would be a master of getting to the FT line a la Harden, and bump his PPG up 5 points just in that way.
50 is a crap ton, but he's not the first person to say something like that. I think it's not unrealistic to think he could score 35+ for 5 seasons straight, with a season or two right around 40. There aren't many guys who are as competitive as he is, and that is what drives you to greatness

If he just maintained his shooting efficiency, he would have to shoot about 10 more FGs and 4.5 more FTs per game. That being said, those shots would have to be forced and his efficiency would more than likely to decrease. In addition, since he would have to take > 50% or his team's shots (and at the expense of passing), the predictability would make him easier to defend.
