Wizards' John Wall Believes Michael Jordan Would Average 45 PPG in Today's NBA

Michael Jordan averaged at least 30 points in seven straight seasons from 1986 through 1993, beginning with a career-high 37.1 points per game for the 1986-87 campaign.

Washington Wizards All-Star point guard John Wall believes Jordan would average 45 points if he played in the NBA now:

"Jordan's averaging 45 [points] and whatever else he want," Wall said. "You can't touch nobody! Like, you can't hand-check."

The 57-year-old Chicago Bulls legend and his Hall of Fame career have come under the microscope again because of The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary capturing Jordan and the 1997-98 Bulls that aired on ESPN from April 19 through May 17.
