Comparing Michael Jordan's stats as he played for two different teams

Michael Jordan is widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all-time. The NBA Hall of Famer had a legendary career in which he spent 13 seasons as a member of the Chicago Bulls. Jordan averaged 31.5 points per game, 6.3 rebounds per game, 5.4 assists per game, 2.5 steals per game, and 0.9 blocks per game while shooting 50.5% from the field with the Bulls.

Over that span, Jordan won six championships and six NBA Finals MVP awards while being named MVP five times and Defensive Player of the Year once. He was named to 12 All-Star Teams, as he only failed to make the roster in the 1994-1995 season after re-joining the Bulls well after the All-Star Game.

Jordan was selected to 11 All-NBA Teams as a member of the Chicago Bulls, earning the honor in every season except 1994-1995 and 1985-1986, in which he played 17 and 18 games, respectively. He was also named to nine All-Defensive Teams, while winning ten scoring titles and three steals titles.

After three years away from the game, Jordan came out of retirement at the age of 38 to play for the Washington Wizards. He spent the previous year and a half as Washington's president of basketball operations and part-owner. In his two seasons on the Wizards roster, Jordan averaged 21.2 points per game, 5.9 rebounds per game, 4.4 assists per game, 1.5 steals per game, and 0.5 blocks per game while shooting 43.1% from the field. He was named to the All-Star Team in both seasons.

Throughout his career, Jordan averaged 30.1 points per game, 6.2 rebounds per game, 5.3 assists per game, 2.3 steals per game, and 0.8 blocks per game.

How did aging effect Michael Jordan's stats?

Michael Jordan was still a very productive NBA player as a member of the Washington Wizards, particularly in his final season when he regained his conditioning. Like most players, however, he wasn't able to produce in the way that he did in his prime.

While his production dipped, Jordan led the Wizards in scoring in his first season back in the league while finishing second on the team the following season. Although he remained very athletic, his freakish athleticism from his prime was no longer there. After making the postseason in each of his 13 seasons with the Chicago Bulls, Jordan was unable to do so in two years with Washington.
