News flash for the ignorant, the NBA is slower, the pace of the game is MUCH slower, and has been slowing down steadily since we began keeping track of pace stats.
Lets take the best scoring season by Micheal Jordan 1986-1987 37 points a game, the Chicago bulls were SLOWEST paced team in the NBA, he used a whopping 38% of the bulls possessions, in today's NBA they would be the fastest tempo team in the NBA.
Jordan produced 1.18 points per possessions that year, subtract the points from assists it's about 1.02 points per possessions,the average nba game today has 92 possessions, Jordan would get 38%, that would decrease his scoring average to 34 points a game.
Jordan would score less if anything.
