Paul Silas: Michael Jordan can still play



Give him some time to get in shape and Michael Jordan could average 20 points a game in today's NBA, said Charlotte Bobcats coach Paul Silas.

A day after watching Jordan, the Hall of Famer and Bobcats owner who turns 48 next week, play in a full-court scrimmage with his team, Silas said his boss has still got it.
"If he got in shape he could probably average about 15-20 points a game, no question, because he still has the shot," Silas said Friday on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "If he got in shape, he would probably average 20 because he can get the shot off, he can make them, and he has just an uncanny knowledge of the game. He really understands how to play and that's why he is important to my guys and what they should be doing out there and what they should be looking for. It's just phenomenal what he can still do at that age."

20?? I dont know about that. Probably more like 28 a game. MJs not gonna come back just to put up Luol Deng type numbers. He would come back looking for the scoring crown. But seriously though, I'd take Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman vs Rose, Boozer and Deng today. It wouldnt even be close.
