How many points do you think MJ would average in today’s NBA?
Depends on what team he is hypothetically playing for in today’s NBA
40 a night is just 5 shots per quarter
Feel like 40 is more than doable with his offensive skill, he managed to average 37 in the 80s... I'm not sure how people can even doubt he would be able to reach 40 if he was the main scorer for the team.. it didn't matter how physical people would get with him... a player like that in this era? He would have the time of his life, no one would be able to do anything other than watch.
To add to this: today's game is faster, less physical and Jordan was very efficient both in shooting percentage and time.. he did not need 300 dribles to have a shot attempt..
On a superteam 28 a game, on a team with just one other star 35 plus a game
Jordan wasn't 3 ball deficient. He wasn't 3 ball dependant. There's a huge difference.
This right here!!!!
All facts
This!
This is one of the best statements I’ve read about “MJ’s lack of 3pt shooting” Hats off to you sir 🙌🏻💯
@@bozlakian3329 Thanks Boz.
Jordan averaged 37ppg attempting 0.8 3 point attempts per game.
And Wilt averaged 50 points and 25 rebounds and there were no three point shot yet
Lol but they had a 30-52 record.
@@deon3133 40-42
There's no benefit of bringing up 3's in Jordan's case. He was a below average 3 point shooter.

Jordan midrange so ICEY he don’t even need the 3ball
Word bro Exactly Shannon always hating on mike he hardly missed !
I think he just didn't take the 3 Because he didn't have to TBH
I was thinking the same
100%

If Jordan averaged 35 in the 80’s your telling me that he can’t find 5 more a night in today’s game 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This! Additional Free throws alone would net him 40. Add few more 3s taken than he did. 40+ easy

@@RoyalCodeFilm what free throws dude ? why do people act like Jordan is the only player who penetrates and draws fouls ? Giannis and LeBron are 2 of the greatest drivers to the basket of all time, why would Jordan get so much more free throws than them ?
Did you regularly watch the 80s? The players in the 80s were not that talented. Was physical because they had to overcompensate for not being great defenders.
Shannon is slowly and constantly reminded that Jordan was and will always be the guy.
He knows it by heart. He's just playing as a hater coz Skip is the main man in their show. His take on Lebron is purely for ratings only. Haha
he hates it too
It don’t matter how many former players he talk to the answer is still the same.
He is only playing a character on undisputed because Skip told him to, as it would get viewers in both camps.
He's trying to evade it but it wont happen...LOL
Gotta have the 3 ball? How many 50pt games did he get without even shooting 3s? That's with handchecking
Ikr!
There’s still have checking in today’s game
Jordan's jumper is wet people need to stop disrespecting his 3 pointer. If he grew up in todays era he'd be shooting like Harden, the man's built for 3's but people don't even know it.
@@hdbuckets8154 You cannot put your hands on the ball handler's hip and impede his progress in today's game. A huge part of Magic's skillset was that he could back you down the floor and was tall enough to pass over hand checking defenders.
@@hdbuckets8154 No, they don’t. It was banned permanently in 2005.
I love how shanon wants someone to disagree with jordan averaging 40+ and everytime he gets embarrassed 😂😂😂
he wants LBJ to stand out
Jordan would be walking around with those rings. Just like in the 90's. I know that much.
enough said
With the right team around him , sure
Depends on who his teammates and coach are but he would definitely be a top scorer.
@@slimjim9648 In today's NBA stars would be climbing over each other to play with Jordan. Coaches, too. If anything, it wouldn't take him as long to get the crown in this era. And they wouldn't be able to take it away from him today, either.
Jordan would be having rings on a chain around his neck to carry them all
If Jackson confirms that …. Considering what he had to go through vs Jordan and pacers … respect to him…. Completely agree. Jordan will average what ever he wants. Heh
He played for both Knicks and Pacers againsr Jordans 3peat runs.
This man said he’s here as a witness 😂😂😂
this part took me out! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jordan would avg 50 just because of social media...he wouldn't have to make up something to get motivated just read the comment sections everyday he'd probaly drop 101 eventually if not at least 82
Gospel 🙏🏿
Take it personal
"BallerShotCaller301 said I have terrible taste in denim... I took that personally."
you're 100% correct ~
LOL
Like Mark said mainly because of free throws he can average 40, Jordan is underrated with how crafty he was and great at drawing fouls, not to mention he shot over 80%
Underrated and Jordan in the same sentence?!?!?
Underrated?Lol
Jordan ain’t averaging 40 man. Stop it.
@@newrecruit100 lmao he avg 37 when the league actually let u play defense
@@newrecruit100 how wouldn’t he when he almost averaged 40 with less foul calls being called
Shannon forgot jordan averaged 37 without the 3 ball
And with physicality and hand-cheking they beat him up back then
Considering Michael Jordan is now 58, him to average 40 points a game in today's NBA is a fair assessment.😂😂😂😂
😆😆😆 yo u nwildn
HAHA. Exactly!
In 30 minutes, becuase you cant have a 58 year old play the whole game.
🤣🤣🤣
Used wilt's joke
Bruh if he could avg 30+ in slowest paced era with handcheck and everything there is no reason why he wouldnt avg 40 in this cupcake era with more possesions
Assuming he is the same Jordan that wanted it all... in today's school's he would never get cut.
Facts
And no defense like it was when he played. Guy on the left is nuts.
Wasn't he third in average pts as a wizard?
@@cecildison6788 no. He is a huge Jordan fan playing a character. But when he became part of the Skip and Shannon show, he is supposed to be against non-Lebron players to contrast Skip who is not a Lebron fan
I like that answer Jordan would average what ever he felt like he needed to average. The man was just greatness defined.
i love how mark Jackson brought Shannon to his side by bringing the nfl argument... Shannon couldn't argue that, because he believes he would be better in today's game too....
If James Harden can average 35 a night, and Jordan averaged 36 back in the late 80's for a season, I'm pretty sure he would average 40 easily.
37
Jordan somewhere laughing at the notion he couldn't score 60 a night.. The Carolina 🐐
...And then he took it personal
Another goat came out of NC at the time also. His name is Lawrence Taylor who revolutionized the linebacker spot in the NFL to become the best defender in the NFL. He is the goat according to me and that man named Madden.
Shannon is looking for allies. Jordan is Jordan. He'd add the 3 to his arsenal. His competitive nature? He would definitely be respected from 3 in today's game.
He was respected from the 3 ball when he played. No one left him open for 3’s, or it looked like the Portland game.
If jordan was able to master the art of mid range shooting (catch n shoot/off the dribble/step back/fadeaway/post fade/contested/stand still) He definitely would’ve master the art of the 3 ball in today’s game.
I'm not sure why Shannon has tried to fight this argument for so long. He grew up watching and even playing his sport in pretty much the same Era. He knows the difference between then and today from actual experience. What's his deal? Lol.
@@alexking2476 it definitely has to be for views. It’s more believable with Nick wright who isn’t a hof athlete & didn’t watch jordan play.
Y'all acting all hurt "oh, game is different today, he wouldn't average even 35!". Giannis is averaging almost 30 with no 3p shot, no free throw and almost no shot outside the paint.
With no handchecking or real low post defense either.....
Do this guy watch basketball ball
Facts
Where do you idiots come from 😂😂😂
GTFO🤦🏽♂️😂😂
Real question is.. would Jordan still be smoking cigars after the game and dropping 40? I say yes 😁
Man had a 60 piece without ATTEMPTING a 3P shot. Easy 40. He averaged 30 on 90 possessions and league is averaging over 100 now.
The maths on that leads to 33-34ppg though
@@Kosithegod He only took 3 3PA per game. All the top scorers today are taking over 5.
@@jalenad11 he took less than 2 3s a game…and he doesn’t need to shoot 3s…he averaged 37 in a tougher league and harder defense…he’d get those 3 points just off of free throws with how these games are called
@@MrSPIDEY21
I think Jordan would score about as well as he did in the 80s in todays game if he played 40mpg like he did back then, i say 34-37ppg.
Defense in the '80s is overhyped. Pace and FG% were way higher in the 80s compared to the '10s even in the post-curry era (2016 onwards). Defense was more physical for sure but it definitely wasn't better.
Also Jordan shot more free throws in 87' when he scored 37ppg than Harden did in 2019 when harden dropped 36ppg.
@@jalenad11 Jordan was a bad 3pt shooter, even for his era.
If you take out the season where he they moved the line in (for obvious reasons), he is a below 30% shooter. and the fact that it jumped all the way to a 40% average while the line was pushed in and right back down to 23% when it was pushed back out tells me that it was a functional limitation with his shot mechanics at long range.
That's not something thats easily fixed otherwise he would've in his wizards days when he wasn't as athletic anymore.
The Tom Brady analogy was perfect
They say marc j is a good teacher. Preaches n stuff, skills
All the centers and power forwards are on the perimeter, precious little shot blockers or rim protectors. No handchecking or physical defensive tactics. The runway would be open for business
Jordan would probably break wilt record if he wanted in this era
Why is we discussing this,Goat does whatever he wants on the court.
With mj's work ethic and competitive grit, easy 40 imo.
The man could average 50 ppg and there's nothing anyone could do to stop him. You're talking about no hand checking, no hard fouls, the games not physical anymore, and the refs call foul for anything, really? The man would have a field day every single night!
plus weak shotblockers, or players who dont want to get the poster... jordan will average 55
@@astorbergonzoni I can't argue with that
todays game is like u shoot i shoot..and with mjs mid range it would be like a 48 min warm up..
Playing in an era where the rules favor the offensive player would be unfair for jordan
Jordan avg 37 in the 80s so if we just assume he’s works on his 3 pt shot he could easily avg 40-45
Jordan himself said he would not be a star in this era because of zones but sure go on jocker lmao
@@dynamic6645 yeah you just lying I bet you can send a quote of that so called statement 🤦🏾♂️ weirdo don’t ever @ me again
Jordan doesn't need a three to average 40-45 ppg. He could play the exact same way he did back then and still average 40-45 because he would just waltz to the basket with no big man protecting the rim. Plus he would live at the free throw line.
He shot the 3 it was just at the end and they just didn’t take much 3s but he was one of the best shooters in general
Who said he needs to work on his 3s? If he feels shooting 3s he will. 😂😂😂
Mark Jackson has the best response to this. People always try and give an exact number when his PPG varied quite a bit. He averaged more the seasons he was losing in the first round. So Jordan averaging however much he wants to make the most sense. I'd imagine if we adjusted Jordan's PPG per season he'd average about 3 more points per game. After about 40 I'd assume he would then focus on getting his teammates their buckets as well.
Lol in 86 with him not shooting the three that well, and not getting calls he should have, he averaged 37 a game. What are we talking about here?
that was the highest pace per play in NBA history and everyone had career highs that year. if KD play with that same Pace in that 1987 season he would have statistically averaged 40+ a game that year. That's just fact.
if someone got calls, that's Jordan in 90's
@@mikeyfightz bro pace in 2020-2021 season are pretty much identical to 86-87 season. field goal attempts are the same, and They only attempted 5 3’s a game in 86 when they attempted 34 a game last year. Pace and overall fg attempts in 86 are dang near identical to today’s game, just far less 3 balls. KD last season only averaged 27 a game while Jordan was getting 10 ppg more not even attempting 1 3 a game. Lol all 2’s and free throws. Mind you with the pace being what it was in 86 Not one other person averaged 30 but Jordan. Lol KD took dang near 6 3’s a game to Jordan’s 0.8. So again what are we talking about here? And for the record, The 86 season wasn’t even close to the highest pace in NBA history just so we clear.
@@mikeyfightz nahh he would get injured
Big facts
Interesting watching a dude play devils advocate against jordan while wearing the shoes that he popularized
Fr makes no sense lol
Facts
I said the exact same thing... Makes no sense to me at all.
Always!!
That’s what I say all the time
People have to keep this in context.
MJ's generation for the most part was raised without a 3 pt line, therefore it wasn't taught by coaches to use. The 3-pt line didn't exist in the NBA until the 79-80 season and Jordan was drafted in 84. So he played his entire grade school and college years without it. Look at the national championship game vs Georgetown, there's no 3 pt line.
Even the generation after MJ's mostly weren't taught to have that in their arsenal, which is why you see the superstars of the 2000s shooting mid range shots when they could've just backed up and got a 3.
Great point.
Someone who actually makes sense. Ppl don’t understand the playstyles of certain eras. when I was growing up playing ball in the early 2000s, it wasn’t about shooting a lot of 3s.. fast forward to playing to the 2010s now everyone is working on their 3s
Mark Jackson with one of the best points about Tom Brady. Jordan would eat this league alive. With the 3 pointer being a big part of the game, Jordan would have practiced 3s like they do now. Jordan rarely practiced 3s back in the day because it just wasn't part of the game, and he only making 1.7 attempts per game with a 33% avg.. Lebron averages 4.5 attempts with a barely better 34.5% average. Kobe has a worst 3pt % than Jordan's.
Jordan today would be hitting the 3 with a 36-38% average easy and would be averaging 40-45 a season. This is just so obvious to see.
With his midrange game, I don't think he'd even need to shoot more 3's. With the lane so wide open, he'd get to 20 with dunks alone.
@@juliusjones3115 Agree. He wouldn't need to fundamentally change much as a player, but I could see him go from 1.7 attempts per game to 4 attempts per game like Lebron, and he'd sink 38% of those, adding an extra 3-6 points to his average.
@@CuriusOdus11 agreed. Just saying that it wouldn't be the end all/be all of him averaging 40 with the way the league is now.
Jordan had the best midrange game in history. Plus he scored in too many different ways. 40 easy
In history eh? 🤔 Hakeem Olajuwon would like to know your location.
kd midrange better.
@@jpatt85 yes in history
Easy? Why hasn’t KD gotten close then?
On how many shots? Coach would get him out of the game unless its a Dantoni system
He need to interview VC man Vince got to play in all the eras and love this mark Jackson interview
He's testifying 🙏
If Jordan adding 3 point in his arsenal it's a definite 50.
Shannon: “You got to add that three ball to get to 40.”
Jordan: “False.” Definitely
Today's rules, that cater heavily to offense..... Mike would average 40 plus..I would bet my life on it
He averaged 35+ when you were allowed to play defense
Jordan averaged 37ppg shooting 2 three pointers a game 40 would be easy I say 47ppg
Shannon just hates Jordan so much he can't accept that Jordan was that good. I hope he tells the story of when he met Jordan and what caused him to dislike him so much yet sill wear his sneakers.
Shannon is just tired that Skip is constantly reminding him that Jordan's the GOAT
I want to know. What happened?
Jordan was averaging 30+ during a hand checking era so he would average 40ppg
He loves dat “with all due respect” 😂😂
You don’t have to add the 3 ball to get to 40 Jordan avg 37 without it
Wilt averaged 50 without it.
Facts and both yall right
Good stuff Shannon the questions and the back and forth with all your guess are great
40 because they call fouls if you sneeze
Jordan said something like he chose to not be a great 3 point shooter. Point is if Jordan played now he would likely have put a greater emphasis on 3 point shooting.
He said he knew if he worked on 3pt, it would change his approach to the game, that he had noticed when he's making them he found himself LOOKING for threes, and he'd rather drive to the rim and make contact. I dont have a link, but I know the interview you're referencing. Amd for the people reading this, it wasn't a recent interview (so as to be revisionist; i.e. him making excuses). It was in the 90s, probably right after he set the NBA RECORD FOR MOST THREES IN A FINALS GAME. Not bad for a guy that "wasn't good at 3s" 🤣
That's the man that built the Golden State Warriors. Kerr walked in on a gold mine
You seem like such a sincere, kind man, Shannon. Great channel. Happy I stumbled!
Jordan averaged 37 ppg in the 80s... an EASY 45 ppg today
Right, he averaged 37 during the era of hand checking and clothes lining. Not being able to touch him?? Easy 45 a night
Are you accounting that the skill is better and he not shootng the 3 as much?
@@KingJohn301 Are you accounting that he has the highest career ppg ever while playing in the most physical era.
@@KingJohn301 are you accounting that most of these"more skilled players" studied jordan like a bible and copied alot of his moves.
And lets be real if they practiced 3's like they do today jordan would have been just fine.. he his the best mid range shooter of all time after all
@@KingJohn301 I don't believe skill level is better, I think older eras played with more skill and fundamentals. I believe shooting skill is the best its ever been. With that said, Jordan was maniacal and would have adjusted. He could shoot the 3, he just didn't because it wasn't the style of play.
Jordan lead the league in scoring for like 9 straight seasons. And he did that with shooting two's, not three's. Imagine if he developed his 3 point game amd shot 3 to 5 three's a game. He'd score 50 in sleep.
That's 10 straight seasons😊
He could shoot the 3 tho he just didn’t shoot a lot
@ 2:30 Brady said the league is soft, with all due respect so is the Nba, and Shannon agree. I am guessing youngins and Jordan haters turn the volume down or pretend they didn’t hear. Just saying
Definitely subscribing. Good content.
He would average 50 playing for Mike D Antoni
Nice 👍

The thing people always fail to mention in this debate is that Jordan’s era superstars played 38-44 minutes every game and we’re taking 20-35 shots a night. In today’s game guys get 30 in under 35 minutes a night. Jordan wouldn’t average 40 he’d do exactly what he was doing. There are also so many other factors that come in as well.
Nah u got to factor possessions per game and pace of game. Also factor in freedom of movement in todays game. It is very doable.
This is a cardio league. More games and more possessions. Jordan would not have taken rest days…or off days. He’s different.
People are ignorant man. The argument that Jordan would average 40 falls apart so easily.

@@jamesonedwardsii4943 you right; Hall of Famers are wrong. You right.

@@jaylenflanagan6012 kobe already in the end of his career with multiple career ending injury. Maybe you forgot that man scored 60 on his last game.
I’ve been saying this for years. Jordan would destroy today’s game easily.
I wonder how many Larry bird would score a night in today’s game too, or magic etc. any of the greats from that era
Great point. Most people do not realize he was a better rebounder than McHale over his career. The numbers talk.
He would’ve developed a 3 point shot if he grew up in this era. He didn’t need it when he played because it was a different game.
Shannon’s lack of objectivity when speaking about Jordan is mind blowing. We know he is in Lebron’s team payroll, but he needs to make it less obvious!!!
60 frames looking good Unc. Can we get 4k for the in-person interviews.
LoL Shay Shay rocking those AJ 1 🤣
Shannon trying to argue if Jordan would average 2.5 More points (averaged 37.5 late 80s) with this incredibly easier rules. It’s only 2 more points per game than what he averaged when you could basically power slam people in the NBA… it’s crazy he thinks it’s even a discussion.
Jordan got 60 one night and 63 another night against Larry Birds Celtics with mostly two pointers, it can be done
0:28 to 0:39 he said yea like five times lol .. unc don't want to except his answer 😂.
Shannon u have on the man's shoes!!! For a reason 😄😄
Considering he played against Kobe, Shaq, and others who played against LeBron I’d say the foul calls, pace of play, and amount of space per shot would allow him to score 35-38 per season on 50% shooting. His greatest strength wasn’t speed, vertical, or shooting…it was his mind. He’d dominate any era.
That was pretty much his averages in the 80s and 90s today would be way better
@@KratosDaGoat

I’ll break it down for you like this with TODAYS rules he’s going to the FT line 15-17 times a game so boom..there’s 12 points at the line at minimum per night…10-12 buckets from drive ins and mid range jumpers…so there’s another 20-24..and once again in TODAYS game he’s shooting more 3s however I don’t see him makin 5 3s a night closer to 3…add that up that’s a minimum of 41 a night

This podcast is really starting to shoot Shannon in the foot. Cuz every NBA personality he has on, continues to say Jordan was better.
With fouls called like they are today, Jordan would have averaged 40+ easily.
Yeah you clearly watched the pistons only, because Jordan got a lot of calls in the 90s
@@dynamic6645 star players have and will always get calls. The point is half the fouls weren't even called back then and to many of the fouls today are either not fouls in the 80s or would've been good defense.

Go tell him Mark 👏👏👏
He don’t have to shoot the 3 he proved already he could score 30 plus a season
Jordan averaged 37ppg a game in his second season back in the day do you think he couldn’t score 3 more a game when it’s easier?
Nice kicks! J’s
Lol”I’m not here to break it down! I’m here as a witness!”
People use the absolutely ignorant “players are better now” argument. As if they fail to realize that an old Jordan still averaged 21pts per game in the 2000s. Like the man said in the video, he would do whatever he wanted to do. If he wanted to score 50, the rules favor him being able to do so very easily.
*Jordan put up ridiculous averages relying heavily on two point shots.*
He could prolly get in some more points from free throws and the three point shot.
"I'm telling you as a witness" ROFL
Shannon’s just preying for that day when somebody says ‘ahhh, he’d average about 18 in today’s game’.
He already average 38 one yr
I don’t think he would average 40 in the regular season but in the playoffs and Finals I can see him going God mode and averaging 45 a series, because with the hand checking and with physicality back then he was still averaging 35 to 40 a series
He averaged 41 in the 93 finals
No player is doing that for a entire NBA season. But Wilt did it plenty of times.
The man averaged 37 points with basically no 3s and hand checking in a way more physical game
The guy averaged 35 and 37…
@@MrSPIDEY21 he did that one year. I would say wilt could do it before Jordan could.
I like Shannon in this environment when he isnt playing a character on Undisputed. Just the fact he didnt have to attack Jordan instantly to defend Lebron against Skip allowed him to actually engage in a genuine discussion..
He averaged 37 a game with few threes in 87 or 88 so with today rules 3 more points I’m confident he could do it
Before I watch I assume he is going to say 344 points per game
He was scoring mid 30's when guys could knock you to the ground for regular fouls. He absolutely could dominate today against any defender. Kawhi Leanord is 1/3 the athlete Jordan was, and he gets to his spots with ease. Jordan would be the best player of this era with no debate at all.
Shanon rocking that Jordan 1
40-42ppg whole being the best defender on the court
