He was 39. To even score 20 ppg at that age is quite a feat and his impact on the Wiz was undeniable. The team improved from 19 wins to 26 wins by the all star break and looked like they were headed for the playoffs before Jordan had to get knee surgery. Outside of Rip his teammates were pretty much crap. Jordan was also on pace for a 25-5-5 season (at 39!) before he had to get surgery and his final stats are kind of skewed by the really bad games he played after returning. It is really too bad his bad knee finally caught up to him. Still an 18 game improvement is quite amazing and shows that even at 39 Jordan had some MVP left in him.
