WRONG.
He'd average 60.

I agree. The best ever regardless of era.

Probably more considering about 3 teams play defense these days and they are all in the West.
We will never see another MJ. The GOAT of GOATs.

Did you ever see Jordan play live?

If he couldnt avg 50 in the shitastic shite they called defense in the 80s, he has no chance today

I agree. In no way do I really think he would average 50. But it would be very interesting to see what he would do today.

He did manage to average 37 ppg one season and scored 63 against one of the NBA's GOAT teams during the playoffs.

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.

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

Westbrook leads the league with 21.8 shots per game. If MJ shot at the efficiency of his 37.1 PPG season, he would have to shoot 75% more times per game than Westbrook. But with more shots his efficiency would go down (forcing shots) so he would probably have to shoot upwards of 40+ per game.
