Michael Jordan 2002: NBA Record 51 pts at age 38



Uploaded by: hoopsencyclopedia
Video Description:
At age 38 and 315 days, MJ shattered the record for the oldest player to score 50+. The game prior had MJ scoring just 6 due to injury which stopped his NBA-record double-figures scoring streak at 866 games. MJ came out to make up for that here. It should be mentioned that MJ's injury limited him to just 2 full-game scrimmages the entire year in practice. One must wonder, without the injury, what might have been possible at ages 38-40? Zone was allowed starting that year with hand-checking tighter than today as one-legged, twilight MJ broke a few records that day.

MJ scores 51pts at age 38. Thats 8 years past the the age range of basketball players being in their prime and 3 years past the time that basketball players retire. 51pts @ age 38 out of your prime and past your retirement date is better than 81pts in your prime. Can you imagine if the MJ that was in his prime was allowed to stay in a game to score more points after they already had the game sealed?! Too bad, they always took MJ out, when the game was sealed and he alreaady had 50+ b4 the 4th.

Basketball players are in their prime during the ages of 22-30. Basketball players retire before the age of 35.

You are right, Michael "jordam" sucks because I don't know who that is. However, Michael Jordan is the greatest player in the history of basketball. Obviously you have no idea what your talking about, so just back off.

bullshit jordan is the greatest if pippen was so good why did'n t he win another championship then without jordan then? see jordan knew how to use his team mates making him an alround basketball player thus making him the greatest.

Hey, if you actually understood my comment, I am saying Jordan is the greatest. If you read BadBoylXXXs comment, you can see that he is the one that thinks Jordan sucks. He actually called MJ, Michael Jorda"M" with an "m" rather than an "n" so I was saying I had no idea who Michael Jorda"m" is. Michael Jordan is the greatest player to ever play the game.

I apologies my fault I thought you said jordan sucks and now I read your comment I see what you were saying. I know that guys who really hate on jordan post comments like them. I can understand that if you were not the biggest fan of jordan but if you look at this video 38 years old and dropping shoots that almost no other young basketball player today.

Pippen wasn't the one on the Bulls team who won any MVP's.

When Jordan was in his prime EVERY team had 3-4 marquee players, EVEN THE DOORMATS OF THE CONFERENCES DURING THAT ERA (LAC, CLE, WAS). Furthermore, defenses were MUCH tougher in the 80's & 90's. Zone might not have been legal but you offset that technicality with less ticky tack fouls. You can't even put your hands on a ballhandler backing you down anymore. Scoring is up in the league for a reason and it's NOT player skill.

Anyways, judging by your YT Handle, i'd say you only wrote what you did to elicit a reply. Mission accomplished and more.

An unbelievably BRILLIANT comment Shermstyle!
Let me add this caveat... Jordan had been retired from basketball for the previous THREE YEARS before the season this game was played in.
I see folks on YouTube saying that Jordan "sucked" when he played as a Wizard... Some display of "sucking" when he averaged over 20ppg in the two seasons he was there at age 38-40.
Kobe 81 points? Cool... Let's seem him try and average 20ppg at 38-40 years of age hmm. :)

Thing is MJ played against 3 different generations. He embarassed the 1st one when he arrived in the NBA, elevated the level of the game & dominated that generation(mentally &physically), got 6 rings, then in a generation of people half his age when he was way past his retirement age, he averaged 20ppg vs the superstars of this generation in the NBA. Cant doubt that MJ still was able to do very well in the newest generation of superstar basketball players & still got 20ppg, 40pt & 50 pt games.
