My point was that 10ppg is not hard if given the green light, someone to create for you, and no defensive accountability. Thats pretty much the only way Jordan could get double digits. You'd have to overlook gross offensive inefficiency and a huge defensive liability.

The point of your post didn't go over my head, I just thought it was odd that you thought you could average more than 10 ppg in the NBA. Now you've explained that you were imagining some scenario where an NBA team is devoting its offense to getting you 10 ppg... that wasn't apparent because I don't think that's what Jamison was saying with regard to Jordan.

I think Jordan could put up 10 ppg shooting in the low 40's %-wise... I agree that he wouldn't be able to guard anyone in the league really... maybe you could play him as an undersized 4 and let him work in the post.

I guarantee that if jordan put his mind to getting in shape yo return he would easily be in better shape than huys like oliver miller and tracyor traylor ever were.

What sort of PEDs are we talking about here?

Those guys were 6'8" and had twenty year old joints and athleticism though.

Thats true but they also had a small fraction if the talent jordan has, and mj is 6'6 i dont think him playing the 4 in the right lineup woul be totally out of the question

**Jamel Irief** · 02-11-2013, 12:15 PM

He's what, 6'6" 230 at this point? So he would be shorter, lighter and slower than 90% of the PF's out there.... in all THREE of those aspects. And he would give up 2 of the 3 to probably 100% of them.

**Bogg** · 02-11-2013, 12:46 PM

I'd imagine that he could still hit corner threes and post up smaller guards at an okay rate. I'd also be surprised if he didn't have a little bit of that slow, herky-jerky high-post game that Paul Pierce works so well against smaller defenders. If you had one or two good defensive bigs to clean up some mistakes you could probably hide him on the third-best perimeter player and have him be a role-player on offense.

I don't care if he's the best basketball player of all-time, he's going to get wasted at the age of 50.

Even as he approaches his 50th birthday, Michael Jordan can still play. And the No. 2 pick in the draft will be the first to admit it.

Kidd-Gilchrist
Charlotte Bobcats rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist confessed Friday that Jordan beat him in a one-on-one game.

"It was hard for me," Kidd-Gilchrist, almost 20, told USA Today before the Rising Stars Challenge rookie-sophomore game at All-Star Weekend. "I lost. I lost to a 50-year-old guy. ... He's the greatest man that ever played the game.

"Oh, yeah. He's good."

How about taking it easy to make the boss look good? The 6-foot-7 rookie out of Kentucky said that wasn't the case.

"No. I didn't allow him to beat me," he told CSNHouston. "Because that's my boss? Nah."

Kidd-Gilchrist is averaging 9.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per game this season.

lol, i think MJ's new scouting method should be not to draft guys he can still beat 1-1

**Dre** · 02-15-2013, 08:10 PM

I wouldn't play him every night. If you really wanted to win a title....I'd construct a roster not dependent on him whatsoever, I'd tell him to get his body ready and wouldn't start playing him until like the last month and a half. Then I'd keep him pretty much primarily for 6 minutes or less situations come playoff times.

But you'd have to have an elite defensive team to mask him

If we're talking him on the Bucks or some shit with a green light he probably could do close to 15 ppg but he'd have terrible percentages. He had poor percentages in 2001 I can only imagine now

He cant shoot any worse than Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis are at this point
