| Michael Jordan 2002: 41pts at age 38 Vs. Phoenix Suns When MJ said his injured knee was feeling 'not horrible' during this grandfatherly phase (which was not often), he was dropping 40+ with ease. Here he is getting 41 just after hitting 40 against Cleveland at age 38 and a half. I assume that Dan Majerle brought out the inspiration in Father MJ due to memories of the 1993 Finals and unfortunately, The Young Matrix got in the way and took some abuse in the process. Hitting the zone and 17 shots, MJ notched 41pts on 17 buckets at 57% without even taking a trey and only needing 7 free throws. This was MJ's zone alone and even at this age, MJ's will, creativity and ability to improvise and stack the highlight reel were miles above the young'uns.
