Shaq: Jordan would average 45 points per game in today's NBA

Shaquille O'Neal has weighed in on how Michael Jordan would fare playing in the modern NBA.

During an appearance on ESPN's "Get Up" on Friday, O'Neal said he believes Jordan would average 45 points per game today.

"He would average 45 and the league would be complaining about two players," O'Neal said. "They'd be like, 'Mike is too good. And the kid named Shaq down in Orlando is too dominant. What are we going to do?'"

David Falk, Jordan's longtime agent, recently told 106.7 The Fan's "The Sports Junkies" that a prime Jordan could average 50-60 points per game and shoot 75% from the floor in today's NBA.

Jordan led the league in scoring 10 times, including a career-high 37.1 points per contest in the 1986-87 season.
