So we gonna forget consecutive Finals appearances, not to mention MVP honors how many years in the NBA. Look I’m a Spurs fan. You gotta recognize greatness. Y’all honor Jordan for sneakers, I’m guilty.

Plus it a different game, we got centers shooting 3s. Pretty sure centers wasn’t shooting 3s in Jordan era. Not even power forwards. F outta here. Game not as physical but still difficult.
Jordan wouldn’t get away with the calls with the league is now. F outta here !!!!!!
Not a bron fan, Spurs all day

The Lakers have damn near 200 more fouls called in their favor this year but you don't think Jordan would have also gotten a disproportionate amount of calla in his favor? Which superstar doesn't have that luxury?
Come on now.

I guarantee you he didn't watch that whole "greatest seasons of all time" video.You said use stats.. the YT vids are FIRE because they are cold stats
MJ has 6 of the top ten seasons in NBA history and then around 11 in the top 20.

90s Bulls vs Knicks playoff series were more competitive and entertaining than all the NBA Finals. I hope they make a documentary on that rivalry. Van Gundy would flourish if he was able to speak his mind on the rivalry.

Wouldn't it be more Pat Riley than Jeff Van Gundy? The Rivalry was only competitive and good during Riley's tenure. In 1996, they got a gentleman's sweep from the Bulls. After his departure, the Heat and Knicks began their rivalry. Thanks to Riley and how competitive the NBA "appeared" in the 90s, the Knicks had rivalries against the Heat, Pacers, Bulls in the east.
That last scene
NBA used to be about the teams not the players. Not to say there aren't rivalries but not really. Lakers/Celtics. Heat/Boston. Knicks/Heat. Knicks/Bulls. Pacers/Knicks. Lakers/Sacramento.

Jordan would average 40 in today’s nba with how soft the game is called.

Until the NBA saw how lucrative it is to have an IT player. The league was trying too hard to find another Mike after he retired.

He averaged 37.1. Why wouldn't he be able to especially under the necessity to hit threes. He's probably have more energy because he wouldn't have to play as strenuous defense.

And the fact he can’t get hand checked anymore. I wish anyone luck checking him.

I understand the sentiment but it's hard for me to believe anyone would average 40 considering the players that are able to manipulate the game to the highest degree of the modern Era aren't coming close to that. Other than harden doing 37 that year, we haven't seen it from anyone.
Hypotheticals are always tricky, that's why I tend to stay away from them.
Not saying it couldn't happen but 40 is a lot of points to AVERAGE.

Yea, I think Mj would probably average about the same. He'd probably beat his 69 points in a game tho.

Jordan probably like to get in the groove and go off for one of his 40, 50, or 60 point games but he didn’t seem like a stat padder like some of these players (Harden, Westbrook, etc).
If he wanted to score 80, he probably could have.
Harden scored 36. Not 37 like he who Larry named god in the flesh.
And since 2019…it seems like players have made a concerted effort to score higher than 30. Like Embiid, Harden, Lebron, Steph, Luka, Giannis, etc.
Jordan could score 40 a night if he wanted in today’s game. Like duke said, no hand check, no Jordan rules, less physical game AND he would have played in an era that promoted three point shooting. He would have worked on his three point shot.

Was Scottie on his best behavior due to this not being sports entertainment?
Named MJ as the greatest player.

There’s a difference in being aware of your numbers and inorganically chasing stat lines.
