Jordan stats
Check that 87-88 season for example.
82 games played; 40 minutes per game
35 ppg average on 54% shooting
He averaged 5.5 boards, 5.9 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.6 blocks per game. That's just straight up filthy. 1.6 blocks? Are you kidding me?
If LeBron puts up that line in one game, we swoon. MJ's season averages are just amazing. |
He was also playing against lesser athletes. This generation is just much more athletic with improved workouts, supplements, and all that jazz.
