Unbelievable how much his game changed over the years. Early on he was more of a drive to the basket player with the mid range jumper here and there. In later years he developed the more accurate and almost unguardable fade away jumper.

He had every shot developed back then, man....what are you talking about?
Didn’t even have a 3PT line when he was in college. That makes it even more impressive he elevated his 3PT% (from the non-shortened line) to 34.5% for his career in the Playoffs and 40% for his career in the Finals. Imagine if he grew up in a 3PT-heavy era how much more effective he would be.

I played HS 🏀 then and had a deep game but my Coach would pull me when I shot deep. And would make the shots at that. After a couple years they put the 3 point line in. I would have averaged 16 a game as a point guard. SMMFH.

The special thing about jordan is that his fundamentals never changed dramatically just enhanced. his shot looks the same and his overall movement stayed the same compared to when he played for the bulls. just a natural talent.
The main reason I became a Tar Heel fan, and I wasn’t born until 91
Jordan's first step was blazing fast. He would get by anybody with that step, and he was so explosive attacking the basket at a young age.
It’s crazy to say this but NC MJ would average 35-40 in this era now 🤷🏾♂️🤣🥴💪🏾 #FACTS

Mike could have came out his sophomore year and easily been the best Player in that Draft
Went to five star basketball camp won MVP two weeks back to back so he was the high school GOAT then crushed everyone in college since his freshman days So in college he was the GOAT then went to the NBA and crushed everyone even making it where some legends didn’t even win a championship because he was beating them so in the NBA he was the GOAT oh I forgot to mention he held the scoring record for the McDonald’s all american basketball game for about 30 years.

We all know about Jordan's winning shot and 16 total points in the Title game.. he also led the Tar Heels with 9 rebounds almost matching Ewing's 11 for Georgetown.
He made it look so easy!

In one regard, there’s some truth to this. But even Jordan himself will tell you that the fundamentals that Smith insisted on were vital to his growth as a complete player. A lesser coach would have been too tempted to basically just say ‘Hulk - smash!’

This was so simple that i missed it for years. If youve noticed watched how Jordan slid to the pass that Jimmy Black threw, you can say that Black passed the shot to a open area and Jordan adjusted to it

Funny how even though they just college kids, everyone look old. Lol. Like the cheer leaders look like moms.
I guess it’s Jordan’s running style but doesn’t it look like his knee or leg is bothering him as he gets back on D? I only got to watch him later in the 90s but he was so smooth then. Here he already had that confident and deliberate attack. As soon as he receives the ball, he knows exactly what his play will be. He has that confidence here but he continued to push his development further. He bulked up from his really lean frame here; probably attributed to series against Detroit. The true GOAT!
Why did he even go to college sheesh this guy is unreal.
