Id say he would play about 20 minutes a night, score 10 points per game, 3 assist , 3 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per contest!
what do you think his numbers would be if he played those 20 minutes per game?

i'm pretty sure he can still play.
but if you're considered to be the best player ever to play the game, why would you go back and play as a role player?
he already blemished that career with that return to the wizards. i know he still played well but he had a lot of negative things like not getting along with players and not making the playoffs. plus he was fired by the wizards.
if he wanted to prove he can play at an old age, he already did.

Jordan can't play 20 anymore. He's good for 10-12 minutes a night. He'd score 6-8 points, have a couple of assists and a couple of steals. But I don;t think he wants to put himself through that pain. Why would he?

If his ego would allow him to come off of the bench, I think that he could fit in very well. I believe he could still score, but he would be defenseless against almost everybody. That wouldn't matter too much as a bench player, however. I could see him getting 12-13 points, 3 to 4 boards, and 2 assists and maybe a steal or two. Very good numbers for a bench player.

Just look at his numbers when he retired. They weren't Jordan like numbers.
He might put up 10 ppg. 3 and 3 would be streching it. And not 1.5 steals. Maybe 1, if lucky.

It's hard to say. He'd be I think more of a pure shooting guard, mainly taking outside shots. He'd lose a lot of the explosiveness he had. I would say similar numbers to that of Grant Hill, I give it 14 pts 1 rbd 2 assts and maybe a steal here and there.

No way would he put up those kinds of numbers today. He hasn't played in years. He never should have come back from the 2nd retirement to play for Washington. His production would be limited to showing young players the proper way to play, practice, and handle their lives (aside from the affair part).

Yes in the way that he could contribute to the team not olnly in assists but knowledge wise as well. He could help motivate younger players by giving them pointers and tips!! He's probably to old now and his body would'nt perform like the young MJ but he's definally got the knowledge to succeed!!!

you have to think about it, I mean Dikembe
Metumbo is still playing at the age of 44/45
Michael Jordan would still be an amazing athlete.

He wouldn't be productive. At his age he would not play in enough games to make a difference.
