Michael Jordan 2003: Age 40 (33pts) vs Pau Gasol (Roy) & Grizzlies
QUICK Trivia: Who the last legit 7-foot rookie of the year was before Pau Gasol won it in 2002? ANSWER: Shaq, 1992 (Tim Duncan in 1998 ROY 6-11). So it's not surprising that both Shaq and Pau, the best big men in the respective periods 10 years apart. And they may keep the idea of winning that Great Big Man anchored teams ever (with the exception of MJ of course). While Pau really was a Soph here (I ROY year before), his playing was incredible. And actually, MJwas only 39 years and 304 days here but who counts? When are the largest mid-range game, it always will be allowing one to 10 scoring title with 51.5% share by age 35 and hit 20 + PPG at 45% on one leg at the age of 40 with surgery and three years of rust, nothing else really matters.
