Why Micheal Jordan would avergae 40+ points in today's NBA

[$tate of Mind]

This is the type of defense that Jordan had to face back in the day:

He still put up 30+ points on the regular against this defense! Imagine LeBron against The Bad Boys.


After The Bad Boys MJ had to contend with the Knicks and the likes of Anthony Mason, Charles Oakley, Charles Smith, Patrick Ewing, etc. This is without even mentioning Zo and the Heat.

This is what a foul in today's NBA looks like:




These modern cats can't hold MJ's jockstrap!

In today's NBA you've got a perimeter oriented guy like Kevin Durant averaging what 8-9+ free throws a game? The 90's had centers like Hakeem Olajuwon, a prime Shaq, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Morning, ***embe Mutombo, etc. In today's league there's Dwight Howard and what Andrew Bynum and Brook Lopez?

easily.

jordan would also be the toughest dude in the NBA BY FAR rioght now.

All these dudes are like butt buddies right now.

Before the defenders were able to put hands on you now they can't even touch you.. But your acting like those big were gaurding Jordan, back then the guards were not that good... Rightnow we have great guards playing.

He averaged 37 without all the rules in place that make it easier on scorers and players who drive. The only thing that would stop Jordan from averaging 40 is if he put an emphasis on sharing the ball and not scoring too much.

Kids today have no idea how good Jordan was.

exactly.......

jordan was a cold blooded assassain, no one is like jordan on the floor nowadays. kobe's obviously the closest, but its still really not that close.

Imagine Dwight Howard guarding this guy

Olajuwon actually trains Dwight, a lot of the setups you see in that video are drills he runs over and over, very tricky stuff from a big man.

Ever heard of Joe Dumars? Dumars was an excellent defender, hell John Starks could really guard. Back then, they played real defense, not that baby bull**** that's played today. Basketball isn't just about individual defense it's about team defense. Imagine Kobe, Wade, and LeBron trying to drive in the lane against guys like Dennis Rodman (Pistons), Bill Lambier, Anthony Mason, Charles Oakley, Alonzo Morning (prime), etc. These dudes don't realize how easy they have it now compared to back then.
