Bruh I watched Jordan score 61 on my Pistons March 4th 1987 in Detroit…a day I will never forget. Watching Poetry in motion on the basketball court…my Uncle always had season tickets, so I have seen all the greats, Dr J Larry Bird, Kareem, Magic, Shaq, Dominque etc…no one compared to Mike…I was so amazed at how high he was getting off the ground and in person, how fast he was on the court…I later learned that Roy Williams said they clocked him running a 4.3 forty in college…that man could average whatever he wants in todays game…u can’t touch him, no hand checking, it’s a wrap!!!

It’d be such a joke. They’d have to change the rules about contact back, or it would just be comical.

[@washburn11000]

Exactly

[@eyesacthehoodrat]

Does nobody understand that he averaged 37.1 on a majority of 2 pointers and not 3 pointers?

[@Johnadams20760]

MJ did not average that. he average 30..1 and 591 shots were 3 pointes. wilt chamberlain averaged the same number and dind't have any three point shots period. wilt also was asked to stop taking shots halfway thorugh his career as well.

[@kristijanEX]

@@Johnadams20760 In his highest scoring season he averaged 37.1, also Wilt wouldn't be shooting threes or be good at them, one video where he shot 3pt hook shots with no defense doesn't change anything. Wilt was a playoff choker whilst MJ got better, no debate.

[@Johnadams20760]

@@kristijanEX yes. and wilt averaged over 50 ppg one season and 44 a 2nd season and around 40 for his third best season. wilt averaged morethan mike's max in wilt's rookie season. and yes, wilt would have socred trees easy. 2 reasons i know this . 1. i heard a quote by a guy watching him that said he would make 20 out of 25 baskets from half court during practice, but there is also a video on a bet of him making 4 in a row for 5 dollars. as for playoff choker. you are making the same mistkake so many make. the 60s celtics were not just the greatest dyasty in history by far. but thier biggest part of the game in that was the entire team was the greatest defensive dynasty in history hands dow period. inthe plyoff games in total wilt played against tha tem36 percent of his games so naturally it is gongto be tougher to score as many points agasint the greatest defense. but also in teh 2nd half of his carer he also was not asked not to shoot the ball and also against the same celitics buth is FG percentage was the highest in history. he did NOT choke in the plyoaffs like you make it out

[@Skyscraper330]

@@Johnadams20760 1986-87 he averaged 37.1 points per game for the season becoming the only other guy besides Wilt to score 3000 points in a single season. Jordan took 66 3 pointers that year.. In that same year he became the first player in NBA history to record 100 blocks and 200 steals in a single season but was snubbed hard for DPOY by Michael Cooper... So he did it again the next year and voters got it right... Wilt couldn't even shoot free throws and you want me to believe the 3 point line would have mattered for him... Wow you need help!

[@Johnadams20760]

@@Skyscraper330 wilt had 26 blocks in one game. 23 in another that was televised. wilt proably had seasons with over 800 blocks in a season his best season. you fail to understand the difference between throwing free throws and just shooting from the field. because of wilt's tremendous strength and large hand size, he had to take a litttle bit off his shtos from wherever he was shooting from by jumping up and slightly back. when you are doing free thorws you don't jump slightly backwards. this is very likely why Shaq had the very smiliar numbers to wilt on free throws. wilt literally shot 60 percent of his basekts on fadeaways. and high percentage of them were 12 feet and beyond. i just told you wilt shot 20 of 25 bakets in practice for HALF F****G COURT. and you don't think he cuold shoot 3s? that is just simply you not wanting to admit he could do it. not to Metiong VIDEO PROOF fo him winnig 5 dollars on a bet that as only supposed to be 3 straight shots from the corner (which is the HARDEST place to make a three. but the guy made him shoot a 4th for 5 dollars and he did it like it was nothing. nice try buddy

[@tiredoffools8929]

In today's game I believe MJ would be somewhere in the 42 to 45ppg range. I'd say closer to 42 because he would probably would have to sit out many fourth qtrs because of many blow outs against the mediocre teams. MJ scored the way he did because he had to or his teams wouldn't have no shot. He wasn't looking to pad stats. I don't recall MJ playing any mins when the opposing teams would empty their benches for "garbage time" I have seen some stat padding superstars remain in garbage time this era though.

[@katrinachavez3533]

Glad to see y'all have educated yourselves by mentioning the physical era he played in and defensive studs like Mutombo, Mourning and Payton. Those that claim he played versus plumbers are extremely ignorant and don't know the history of the game. MJ was defended by some of the greatest perimeter defenders all-time (Moncrief, Alvin Robertson, Rodman, Dennis Johnson, Cooper, Payton, Dumars, Pippen-in practice) and contested at the rim by some of the greatest defensive bigs all-time (Hakeem, David Robinson, Mourning, Mutombo, Eaton, Ewing, Rollins, Parish). It wouldn't be fair if he played in today's soft as Monistat cream league.

[@kfabwrestling3862]

And to add to your point mike also had to guard some of the greatest scoring SG’s of all time. Drexler, Reggie Miller, Mitch Richmond, Jeff Malone (no relation to Karl or Moses lol), Steve Smith (underrated bucket), Stackhouse, sprewell, Allan Houston etc

[@davidschmidt1793]

Honestly, if I start to name good/great defenders he played against I'd be here until tomorrow. Not only he schooled those guys, but even as a Wizard and in pick-up games he'd destroy defenders like Ron Artest and Shawn Marion. Artest played against prime Kobe and Lebron, won a ring with Kobe and played against an old Jordan with knee problems, yet he says Jordan would have averaged 45ppg. When a multitude of great players and great defenders say he'd average 40-50ppg, then you can see how great, fundamentally sound and intimidating prime MJ was.

[@bwink23]

Also, these are scrubs opinions like John Salleymander. It's Defensive Player of the Year winners saying Jordan would average 50. Alonzo Mourning, Ron Artest, Dennis Rodman.

[@trowabarton321]

They made the game the way it is nowadays in part because the NBA has been looking for the MJ. The league today is literally made for him to average at least 45 in like 52%-54% shooting. Its too easy, you can't touch him.

[@rogerwescott2301]

Time for my medicine this should be a good one. Michael jeffrey jordan would average 45 points a game in today's era easy no cap,i witnessed it live with my supersonics he had 48 by halftime didn't even play in the 2nd half. He would average more in the playoffs 50 no problem.🐐23

[@youngcactusjack]

45-50 in his peak years (87-93) 38 -43 in his later to old years (95-03)

[@teamcaveman]

1996-1998 MJ averaged way less because they sat many 4th quarters. They’d try to blowout teams in the third so they could sit and watch the backups get some time. If MJ was a stat padder in the 90s his numbers would already be crazy

[@demarioqc]

He’d flirt with 50ppg for like the first half of the yr. Then eventually end up wit like 43.6 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@michelangelotroccoli7748]

I absolutely cannot stand basketball but....Michael Jordan is the BEST basketball player ever there's not even a conversation

[@jmreynaud]

I've seen comments in other videos how Jordan was an average 3pt shooter. When he was publicly questioned about his lack of 3ptrs against the Trail blazers and Drexler, he lit them up for a Finals record 6 3ptrs. It's not really about being a fanboy, just glad I was a witness to best basketball player to ever play

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

He actually hit six 3s in the first half of that game. Michael averaged 33% from deep for his career and LeBron average 34%. But LeBron plays in an era where the 3 is a huge part of the game and heavily practiced. So for people who say Jordan was a weak 3 point shooter, I say that LeBron is even weaker.

[@kitionecuruki3835]

Michael Jordan is the blue print of busket ball

[@MALLYGEEZ1]

I think MJ could have avg more back then. Phil Jackson got MJ to cut his scoring down a little. In order to win rings.

[@NickPR87]

He would average 40 without breaking a sweat! Demar Derozan averaged 28 a season ago with a similar mid-range game and he's not the slasher MJ was. That means he'd score 14-20 points off mid-range and threes, another 10-14 off drives and another 14-16 off FTs.

[@DavidVYoutube]

something that isnt talked about enough is Jordan was good at assists, he was 4th overall for all shooting gaurds. He also played point guard for 24 games and he averaged: 30.4 points, 10.7 assists, 9.2 rebounds, and 2.4 steals. Compare that to Magic Johnson's career averages: 19.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 11.2 assists and 1.9 steals, Meaning Jordan got 2 more rebounds a game, a half a steal more per game, and only a half an assist less with 11 more points per game. All this at a position he was not as familiar with.

[@--Spooky--]

It's not even just about physicality and hand checking... really think about if MJ had access to the same kind of dietitians, sports science, training and rehab equipment that people have now...😅 if you don't think he would average 50 you just goofy

[@airenesantos678]

I'd say 45-50! I saw him played played! G.O.A T Mj. Love you two! Keep Mj videos coming....much love from Philippines! ❤

[@parkermudsen1063]

My thing is people who argue that players in the past would get smoked by players today because they’re “bigger, stronger, more skilled” act as if those wouldn’t have access to the same modern training and diet plans. Like they’d just step out of a time machine from 1992 and start playing. These people fail to acknowledge that the fundamental skills are transferable between eras and can adapt.

[@lennybeason1110]

World B Free jumped as high as JA and David Thompson jumped higher than JA! The bigger faster stronger may apply more to quantity of players who are a little more athletic but not the Quality! Dr.J, MJ and Dominique and Shawn Kemp would be doing the same thing today that they did back in their day!

[@chrismalone5198]

Ppl played against jordan his skillset was abcd and move which not too many ppl possess dude will avg 40+

[@4TFInfamous]

Mj definitely dropping 40 plus if harden ave 37

[@Mattball82]

People who didn’t actually watch him game after game year after year simply don’t understand 🤷‍♂️ 40 a game would be easy with today’s rules.. 2 jump shots per quarter, 2 layups/dunks per quarter, 8 - 10 free throws, a 3-pointer or two..

[@shawnbrooks2051]

In today's NBA Jordan could average 20-30 points a game in free throws alone.

[@paulbonge6617]

MJ EASY 45ppg no contest. No hand-checking, hands off outside, he was a punisher from mid-range and the inside (in the paint) is wide open today so ALL of MJ's strengths in scoring are FAR FAR FAR easier in today's game.

[@jamesprez7296]

Did 1 start by saying I think MJ would probably score 30 a game and his bro said I say a minimum of 25 a game??? WOOOOOOOW just WOOOOOOOOOW. He averaged 31.5 in 11 full seasons with the Bulls. Saying he scores only 30 a game is ludacriss. 25 is INSANITY. 40 eaaaaaaaaaaaaasy

[@gabrielw7773]

He averaged 30 against the best defenses of all time. Today no defense what's so ever.

[@melijahcopeland4101]

Shanon sounds like someone who didn’t do his homework. On the one hand he acknowledges Jordan averaged 37 for a season and in the same breath questions how he could average 40 without the 3 ball. That sounds dumb as hell. The man averaged damn near 40 without a 3 ball Shanon!

Jordan would make half the guys in today's NBA just quit playing!

[@J24J]

We'd never see MJ v. Lebron because Lebron would always sit out with an "injury" rather than face MJ.

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

People talk about MJ not being a great 3pt shooter shooting 33%. In his era, average was 33%. Today's average is 35 and LeBron avgd 34%. But it was a very small part of the game unlike today. If he grew up in today's era, he would have adapted to today's game, focusing on 3s more, practicing 3s more, and and it would have just been another weapon in his arsenal. Combined with more FTs, no hand checking, more space. From 87-92 he averaged around 35. He easily averaging 40 today. Just watch Michael Jordan's historic bulls mixtape here on KZbin and you'll agree after watching him dominate 5 guys at a time, makin them look like babies

He having a hard time trying to figure out if he better than KD and Stephen Curry. Lebron James said out of his mouth, ain't nobody can guard Stephen Curry or KD, just like nobody can guard me.

[@hshaughnessy17]

One thing the maker of the video left out was that the years that Mike's 3 point shooting improved was because the league moved the 3 point line in closer for those seasons. When they moved it back out, his percentage dropped again. He was an ok 3 point shooter at best. But I agree in this era, he would have been able to hit 40 ppg. 50 is just too much. If he could put up 37.1 in the late 80s, getting 40 wouldn't be hard.

[@davidschmidt1793]

He played the 97-98 season with a torn tendon in his shooting hand, which not only affected his 3pt shooting,but midrange shooting aswell. He shot very well from corner 3s when the line was shorter(the corner 3 distance didn't change). But we can ignore all that. From the 1988-89(first season he attempted atleast 1 3pt per game) to the 192-93 season,usually considered his peak years, he shot 33.4% from 3s in the regular season and 35.7% in the playoffs. He did so in low volume(2.5 attempts per game), but prime Jordan was an above average 3pt shooter for his Era, mainly in the playoffs. I don't think he'd focus so much on 3s in today's game, but he'd certainly focus more than he did in the 80s and 90s.

[@KennethArriola]

MJ's 3 pt pct ave was 38% in 1988, bud.

[@hshaughnessy17]

@@KennethArriola Other than the years they shortened the 3 pt line that is the only season in his career that he shot above 35% from 3 pt range. Out of 15 seasons, Mike shot 31.2% or lower 10 times.

[@KennethArriola]

@@hshaughnessy17 it's because he seldom shoots the 3. But if he does decide to shoot in volumes, his average goes up significantly. Again, he is not a bad 3 pt shooter.

[@hshaughnessy17]

@@KennethArriola I never said he was terrible. I said that in the years that they shortened the line were his best seasons. Then another guy tried to show that he had one good season shooting the 3 at the normal range and I showed that his percentages every other season were bad. But you are right. It is harder to shoot a good percentage when you are taking maybe 1 3 per game. The years where he shot over 200 3s per season, were his best seasons percentage wise, regardless of distance.

[@jacksmith4460]

01:27 I will keep saying it, the Cameras in the 90's were actually as good if not better than modern digital cameras, the reason why80's and 90's footage looks bad a lot on you tube, is because in the early 00's lots of Analog film was captured/converted to digital, ...badly, then KZbinrs have sampled the clip....badly, sampling is always inferior to the original, and if you do it badly, its even more the case, and if you badly sample a badly converted piece of 90's footage...it will look like ASS!!!!!!!! If you had access to the original film and converted it today, right now, , you could make 4K even 8K versions of the footage, old Analog tech is not "bad" in fact its actually better than modern digital, old digital conversion was bad. Digital is now good enough that we can get high quality images, we could do that for decades before digital, but digital products are cheap and easy to mass produce...hence we have a lot of digital media devices There is also processing power in computer of course, but that is more useful in programming and computer created images. rather than playing video (although it of course has some importance there too) But yeh summary; Digital in many ways is not better quality, it is more compact, and cheaper to make and cheaper to make high quality images and audio, but the potential of that quality, is actually below old skool technology in regards to visual and audio capture. People are just brainwashed to think "progress progress" yeh nah, in this instance , its progress in profit and potability NOT in quality, it's actually early digitals fault that people today think old cameras (pre 2000) suck...they dont and in fact many of those camera designs are still used to day by networks and Film Studios

[@kristijanEX]

By 80s/90s standards Jordan got the whistle treatment, but not by today's standards, he's getting even more calls. Also let's not act like majority of those calls weren't deserved. They would start beating him because they couldn't stop him and they got frustrated. For a player that drives that much to the basket, it's no wonder he averaged almost 9 FTAs per game for his career. I fully agree what you said about the defense part, MJ would need to adjust his defense to the modern rules, he probably would never average 3+ steals like he did back in the day, but he could average in the 2-2.5 range and that's still buckets from his defense, also he would average a block a game, which for a guard is impressive.
