Michael Jordan’s last two seasons with the Washington Wizards were so forgettable that we’d all wish they vanished from history. MJ could still score 20+ PPG, but wasn’t terribly efficient. Worse still, he played for a mediocre team that had no real chance at making waves. The Wizards finished 37-45 both seasons.
That said, I wanted to give Jordan some credit for chugging along and showing up as a pro every night despite the irrelevance of the task at hand. In the last season, he played every single game and averaged 37.0 minutes a night. No player in the NBA right now averages more (although it’s clearly a different era in terms of load management.)
In fact, Jordan seemed to turn up the gas even as the season slipped away. After turning age 40, he played 40+ minutes in 17 of his final 30 games, and even cracked 50+ twice.
