Could Michael Jordan Average 20 Points Per Game If He Came Back? One Coach Thinks So

(By Brad Cohen, SportsGrid) - Does anyone really think Michael Jordan still has what it takes to compete in the NBA at the age of 48?

Apparently Charlotte Bobcats coach Paul Silas thinks Jordan can still play with the best in the world. Jordan, has practiced with the Bobcats lately, and Silas said M.J. can still shoot the ball, but probably wouldn’t last too long.

Then, during an interview with ESPN Radio in Chicago, the Bobcats coach took it a step further, saying he believes the six-time NBA champion can be a top 25 scorer:

“If he got in shape, he could probably average 15 to 20 points a game, no question,” Silas said. “He still has the shot. If he got in shape, he could probably average 20 because he can get the shot off, he can make them and he really has an uncanny knowledge of the game.”
