If Jordan made it, what would his 16th season look like?

[And1AllDay]

Your play is more affected by age than number of years played. So if mj came in the NBA at the same age as lebron and played right through for 16 straight seasons without the 93 retirement all you have to do is look at his 98 numbers to see what his stats would be. Around 29/4 and 6 on 47% shooting with elite defence and hustle mind you. Him and brons offensive impact would be similar but mjs defence would be way better so mj would obviously be better.

Now if Jordan was in his 16th season in this era with no defence being allowed then it be more like 33/6/6 on 51% shooting

Fantasy word, cool


So could he make it or would he play baseball again

Well you guys are trying to compare a 40 year old to a 34 year old. It's absolutely ridiculous. It be like me saying who was better in their first year in the nba and acting like mj being 3 years older didn't give him a huge advantage. Age matters way more than years played so you guys should be comparing those 2 at the same age not years played. LeBron still comes out better stat wise if you do that but mj is essentially better because he was still an elite defender and still hustled his ass off.

You don't think so? If mj was 34 in his 16th season like LeBron he could absolutely put up those numbers if he was playing in this era that doesn't allow defence and plays with higher pace of play. Also Take him out of the triangle and put him in a ball dominant system like LeBron,Westbrook and harden play in and it's not hard at all

No i thought you meant 40 year old MJ would average that my bad

Make sure you account for zone defense and having to shoot 3-pointers and no Scottie Pippen and strong perimeter defense.
It really makes me wonder how people can be on a basketball forum and not know these simple things...Yikes

So no

Dude your points are so bad

Zone defence? Nobody even plays zone because it doesn't work in the NBA. A few teams use it sporadically to change things up buts rarely used. Even if they did mj could handle a zone just fine. If you actually watch basketball you would know that teams played zone in the 90's. Refs rarely called it. Knicks used it on mj all the time with elite defenders and mj still ate them up.

3 point shooting? Mj was and ok 3 point shooter actually. Especially in the playoffs. Plus there are plenty of mediocre 3 point shooters like Westbrook and DeRozan who do just fine.

Scottie pip? Mj had his best scoring season before pip even played on the bulls so that's just dumb

Perimeter defence? This is by far your worst point. Everybody under the sun know the perimeter defence is at it's all time worse because of another the rule change they put in this year.

I think it's you who doesn't know what they hell they're talking about

wtf

For reference, in LeBron's 16th season:
27-9-8
52% FG
35% 3P

For reference, Jordan's 15th season:
20-6-4
44% FG
29% 3P

If Jordan was durable enough what would his 16th season look like?

ANYONE?

Here's the more accurate comparison
For reference LeBron at 34:
27-9-8
52%
Worst defender in the league.

For reference, Jordan at 34:
29-4-6
47%
First team defensive team

Pretty close actually. LeBron's a bit better offensively but mj is way better defensively which is half of the game. op and most Bron stans like to ignore this fact.

Hey op here's a question for you. How come mj was so much better in his rookie year compared to LeBron.

Mj rookie year:
28-6-7
52% fg


LeBron rookie year:
21-6-6
42% fg

mmmm i wonder why this is?

[Soundwave]

Does Jordan get to use "Miami steroids" to prolong his career and play zero defence after age 32 so he can conserve all his energy to pad offensive stats?

Are we also removing the Ewing Knicks/Shaq Magic/Miller Pacers/Thomas Pistons/Zo Heat that MJ had to go through in the East and replacing them with cake walk opponents like the Raptors every year so he really basically only has to try in one playoff round every year? Playoffs? More like 6 week vacation until the Finals.
