Rivers Jr.: Jordan easily averaged 25 points in the Wizards. If he didn t play baseball, he would be the top scorer in history

August 14th News Recently, former NBA player Austin Rivers discussed the topic of who is the best scorer in the NBA in the RingerNBA podcast.

Host: "Many people criticized Durant in their comments, saying that in their opinion, Kobe and Jordan are the ones who scored the scorers should be. This is their inherent impression."

Rivers Jr.: "In their opinion (those people), if Jordan and Kobe played for more than 20 years, Jordan would probably be the scoring champion. If he had not spent those two years playing baseball and had not retired early. Michael would have averaged 25 points per game during his 40-year-old return to the Wizards, and then retired. So, think about it, If he had never rested and had been playing for so many years, he would definitely be in the top five or even the top six of the scoring list. Brother, can you imagine? If he had been playing, he would definitely be the first in the scoring list. There was nothing to argue about, but he didn't do that."

Jordan played for the Washington Wizards for two seasons, with a total of 142 appearances, averaging 36.1 minutes per game, scoring 21.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.5 blocks and 2.0 steals, shooting percentage of 43.1%, 24.1% from three-pointers, and 80.5% from free throws.
