As the Chicago Bulls' best player, Phil Jackson fielded him 38.8 minutes per contest in the regular season.
He was already considered the greatest athlete in his field at that point.Īt age 35, Jordan was still dropping close to 30 points per night and shooting just a few percentage points below 50 percent. By then, he already had five title rings in the bag and was gunning for his sixth championship and second three-peat.
He turned 35-years-old in February 1998 - right in the middle of the 1997-98 season. Michael Jordan was in his 13th season in the NBA. But for the sake of appreciating what they've done in the world of athletics, let's take a look at the careers of Michael Jordan vs LeBron James vs Kobe Bryant at age 35. LeBron James, meanwhile, was still tagged as the best player in the world at 35. Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant were still considered the franchise players of their squad. But at 35-years-old, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant - each considered the best players of their generation - were still at the height of their powers. Especially in basketball, most 35-year-old's spend their final playing days on the bench either because they're bruised up from all the injuries or they've become too old to be effective. When you're 35-years-old in the world of sports, you're considered old, tired, and on the brink of retirement. As different generations of basketball fans consume the sport, the GOAT debate rages, usually involving all three men. Or it is maybe Kobe Bryant vs either of those two (or both).
