In the 1987-88 season Jordan averaged 35PPG while only attempting 0.6 3 pointers per game and only hitting 13% of them. These are the kind of numbers you could expect from a bigman (or Ben Simmons), not from a guard

Question is, how did he manage to score that many points pretty much only from 2 pointers, did teams not adjust to prevent him from driving like they do against Giannis? Young Jordan based on his numbers seemed to not be a threat from outside at all, how was so prolific while at the same time so one-dimensional? I must be missing something

    You are definitely missing something…

    MJ is at absolute worst the 3rd best midrange shooter ever.

    I’ve personally got him number 1, add that to his S tier slashing and yea… 35 ppg
