Average 50 is flat out ridiculous....comical even. His off night of 40 would destroy his average.

In reality, MJ would be no better than Eric Gordon in today's game. MJ was surrounded by short, unathletic white guys when he played during the 1990s. At 6'6, I'm pretty sure MJ was the tallest guy on the floor 58% of the time.

just for reference, the difference of 13 points per game is the difference between james harden and ryan Anderson and 57 players. sooooo yea, good luck Michael

Come on now. That is one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

quote:this type of shite is how the legend of MJ has been drastically romanticized. MJ WOULD AVERAGE 50 TODAY!! HE COULD STILL AVERAGE 20 PPG AT 50 Y/O!!!! its just wild nostalgia over common sense.
Yep. The 80's is widely known as the worst defensive era... and Jordan never averaged 50.
Also, this Mourning quote goes to show you that even former athletes say stupid shite about the sport they've played

He might average 25 in his prime

58% is pretty specific. How did you reach that in lieu of the more vague "way over 50%" or "close to 60%"?

think about it... the game is going away from hero ball like MJ, Russell Westbrook notwithstanding...
What would Jordan do in the modern era offenses that revolve around "pace and space"? he wasn't that good from 3. his midrange shots would be frowned upon now, and he'd be driving to the goal against a new breed of rim protectors

If you are under the age of 30, stfu, you aren't old enough to have appreciate MJ's work.
