Michael Jordan’s Underrated 3PT Shooting!?

Michael Jordan is the greatest player and scorer the game of Basketball has ever known. However, there is a growing myth that MJ was a bad shooter from deep. Let’s take a look and see how truthful that is. MJ for his career shot 32.7% from deep. At face value, this is very mediocre at best. But looking at his career 3pt percentage to determine how good of a shooter he was is flawed. It doesn’t account for Jordan coming into the league as a poor shooter, (which drags his overall career percentages down) and doesn’t account for his prime years, where he improved as a shooter Take a look at this graphic, created by yours truly for some insight; From Jordan’s rookie season (1985) until 1989, he shot an abysmal 20.2% from three on about 1 attempt per game. However, from 1990, until 1998, an 8 year stretch, Jordan shot 36% from 3 on 2.4 attempts per game, which is very good especially for the Era he played in. In addition, Jordan’s 3PT efficiency would rise with ...

Kobe Bryant was Inefficient?

Kobe Bryant is and was one of the Pantheon Greats in the Game of basketball. A Top 3 player ever in my opinion. But one of the “knocks” on his career is that Kobe just wasn’t an efficient Scorer. People throw out meaningless career FG% and things of that nature to try to discredit Kobe and to make him seem ineffective. But how true is that actually? Kobe Bryant for his career shot 44.7% from the field on 19.5 shots per game. He shot 33% from three on 4.1 attempts per game and he shot 83.7% from the line on 7.4 attempts throughout his career. At face value, his FG% seems very mediocre and underwhelming. The same can be said about his three point percentage. And because of this, haters of Kobe use those to slight and discredit him. But they never bring up the context behind the numbers. For one, Kobe in his last three seasons, was battling through many injuries. So as a result he shot very poorly in these three seasons for a combined percentage of 36.6%. If we were to remove those three ...

Michael Jordan’s UNDERRATED Competition

Once again..... Michael Jordan is and was the Best player in the history of Basketball. Or Greatest, whichever you prefer. When you’re the Best ever at basketball, people will search hard for things to nitpick or discredit you, in order to make the case that another player was better than you. And in Michael’s case, people have said numerous times that the competition he faced was mediocre, or lackluster. But is there any merit to these claims? Allow me to preach the Basketball Gospel Let’s start from the beginning of Michael’s championship glory. Michael Jordan broke through and won his first NBA Championship in 1991. People say one of the main reasons why the Bulls were able to win, is because the Bad Boy Pistons got old. Shannon Sharpe from FS1 has echoed this statement numerous times in attempt to discredit MJ on Undisputed. But that’s quiet literally a lie. Isiah Thomas was 29, Joe Dumars was 27, Dennis Rodman was 29, and Mark Aquirre was 31. The Pistons that season were...
