Speaking on Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast, Lue was asked about his thoughts on what Jordan would average in the NBA today. The LA Clippers coach sees his former teammate getting at least 45.0 ppg due to the rules and how good MJ was.

“Today? 45,” Lue said. “You can’t touch nobody, it’s a foul. You got the best player in the world. He averaged like 36 one year, 37? Add eight to that.”
