it's been mathematically proven that he would score 50 easily. through statistical analysis of fg% and assist ratios over the last 30 years. wing players have an undisputed mathematically factual advantage today compared to jordan's era. see above. post play has been nerfed by the same rule changes that gave the advantage to wing players. this was by design. the nba tweaked the rules to tailor their product.

I think Celtics were considered a good defensive team back then. http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/BOS/1986.html 1985-86 NBA Champions PTS/G: 114.1 (8th of 23) ▪ Opp PTS/G: 104.7 (3rd of 23)
It wasn't so much that defense was bad back then per se (in fact it was really a more physical game). The main difference was that everyone played like the Suns back then, getting the ball up and down the court and looking for the first open shot, rather than allowing defense to get set. Teams averaged about 10 more possessions per game back then than they do now.
