Maybe 40 ..prime mj
Game is wide open and easy to get to the line
i agree. 40 max
these old heads talking 45 points are ridiculous. If he took 30 shots and his team lost half their games sure.
No way he would be averaging that many pts on a good team. My prediction would be 38 PPG on some James Harden shyt

I agree, if he avg 40+ it would be a losing team.

Same thing with Tim Duncan. Duncan's game is straight out the late 1970s, with his backboard shots, fundamental triple threat stance, etc. He dominated the 2000s strictly on skills.

Unless the coli is going to tell me that Duncan was an athletic freak of nature?

exactly these dudes can't get their stories right.

coli poster "steph is better than zeke despite being less athletic"

also coli poster

"Jordan played with a bunch of plumbers and the ATHLETES of today would shut him down"

Steph is more athletic than Isiah. He’s 6’3 barefoot weighs 195 lb. can dead lift 400 lb. and has a 36 inch vertical and displays great body control in the air.

Nobody ever said in that thread that Steph was less athletic.

Isiah is smaller and quicker.

I think Jordan could get 40 tops in today's game. I look at his playstyle when he was doing the most of his scoring was to me like a bigger, stronger, more efficient Russell Westbrook. With Jordan's quickness and with the way he attacked the paint and would use the threat of his drive to set up the jumper. I think with Jordan's size and bigger hands it makes him a better finisher. On Russ best scoring year he averaged nearly 32. If he was shooting at a 50% efficiency that'd put him around 36 not to mention if Jordan was playing today he'd for sure be taking more threes and I think he could get up to around 40. But only for a year or two like when Kobe went nuts with the scoring.

gianns avg 30ppg in 30 mpg

:stopitslime: He averaged damn near 40 ppg in 1987.

You rounding for the shot attempts (27.8) but not for the 37.1 ppg?
I didn’t feel like looking it up 28 shots per game though super high volume.

And yeah there’s a gap between averaging 37 a game and 40 a game and 45 a game over the course of a season.

Playing 40 minutes a game in the pace and space era isn’t ideal players are making more sharp cuts and running more miles per game than ever.

True.

To be fair though, Jordan was also expending the same exact energy on defense that year, he takes his foot off the gas on defense (which many players do for the sake of scoring), I can easily see him averaging 40 that year.

:stopitslime:Breeh put Ewing in a head lock
..

Bron would have ran in the locker room, to pass the blame on jordan, and hope some superstar team mate would swing on MJ fo Him :mjlol:



:ufdup::aicmon:
LeBron isn’t any of those guys lol.

If LeBron and MJ were on the same team their would be a mutual respect.

Look at LeBron and Kobe’s relationship for instance. A young 23 year old LeBron was able to bark at a veteran Kobe in the Olympics to stop trash talking Luis Scola in Spanish and focus on the game.

I didn’t see MJ doing Magic the way he did others and thats because it’s a mutual respect.

LeBron James isn’t getting punched in the face like Steve Kerr and Will Perdue, his meals won’t be denied like Horace Grant, fighting for the ball like Jerry Stackhouse, and he’s not demoralizing him like Brad Sellers or Kwame Brown.
