Most of his jumpshots in his younger days look more like floaters where hes hanging in the air off balence like that Craig Echlo shot & he was good at banking shots off the glass wit these high degree off balence jumpers where hes relying on his leaping ability changing directions in midair then shooting a fundamental textbook jumper It wasn't just the 3 ball, his overall midrange jumper wasn't there yet & he took years to refine his mechanics so the jumper can be reliable. In his younger days, hes overwelming guys in the paint wit 1 little fake or jabstep would be enough for a defender to bite on it & he can counter by just jumping over u wit an offbalence shot shot off the glass like Duncan. Even when he got the ball in the post, didn't really need fancy footwork, wit his athleticism he could just drive middle or spin baseline

high horse YOU don’t know what you’re talking about because you clearly didn’t pay attention to MJ in his college days. He already was accustomed to most of these post moves by his sophomore year, which is what OP was referring to, not his shooting mechanics. Yes, his shooting form developed considerably in the nba but reverse pivots, dream shakes and shimmies, drop stepping (no one could drop step on a dime off a turnaround feint like MJ until Kobe emulated it in his later years), one dribble pullups, using frames in the low block...he already had a fundamental handle on these techniques in his rookie nba season. His post game footwork and IQ was unmatched as a guard.

The most beautiful basketball ever played!

It's funny because, back then, no one even called it mid-range. That's just what people shot. 3pointers really didn't have a place in the game, other than end of half or game desperation, until after they moved the line in for 3 years to encourage teams to take more 3s.

​@Gibran Camus I hope you say the "best" was Wilt or something (and I wouldn't agree, but I can understand it) because LeBron is not better than MJ. Not stat-wise (outside of longevity stats for the most part), not achievement-wise. I've seen some LeBron fans saying that LeBron was the best and MJ was the greatest, but that's a BS attempt at logic which is really a back-handed compliment in disguise. If you're the GOAT but somehow not the best, that implies you had more help and/or faced weaker competition, and when you actually look at stats like all star appearances and opponent records as well as team ratings, LeBron did not have less help nor did he actually face tougher competition overall.

Jordan had the best body control, and footwork, of any shooting guard I've ever seen. His fade away was so "lethally accurate" because of his ability to turn (and jump) with enough height to fade, and still have enough strength in his wrists to shoot the ball in proper form. The 🐐

I've seen enough. Im convinced. He is indeed an offensive Maestro. I like guys like LBJ, but majorities of LBJ's highlights are clearpath lane drives overpowering weaker defenders and mostly coming off a screen in the halfcourt set. Add the threes to that lately, now that is Lebron on the halfcourt set. He improved a bit on the post because of his size, but not yet on the level of MJ and Olajuwon. The closest I've seen mastering the up and under, head and shoulder fake and with a phenomenal footwork like MJ and The Dream was Kobe.

One of the reasons mj was so accurate on his postup turnarounds (he's just a shade under 50%) was that his shooting wrist was VERY strong. So he could jump out of the gym to get separation with his fade, but he would still have very good control over his shot when he flicked his wrist. This actually doesn't get talked about a lot. The reason a lot of other perimeter players struggle a lot more fg-wise when they try to shoot a fadeaway is because they have to use their arms a lot more, lessening the amount of touch and control.

As players age you understand that you only need to put as much energy into a play as needed to be successful on that play. When MJ caught the ball on the pinch post he became a 3 dribble or less player. Very little energy is used and playing from there he´s able to get 30 points on 30 to 60 dribbles. Also means the player only needs to be quick for 2 steps so being able to score from that part of the floor also slows the effects of father time. James Harden takes 30 dribbles in 2 or 3 possessions alone. Gret players when they get into the early to mid 30´s need to learn to play in burst. 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 8 minutes... When you can score 14 or 15 in a burst without moving it means you have a few more burst on the offensive end or can buckle down for a few possessions on the defensive end.

@@sareaper69 Exactly and that´s why Phil challenged he and Kobe later to become efficient at playing from the pinch off entry passes and guard around as opposed to consistently using time and energy to attack off the dribble from the wing. That season there would be times where they´d erase a double figure deficit in a blink because it was entry, one/two dribbles and score.

His fadeaway is the perfect mix of athleticism (high vertical, great body control) and skill (controlled footwork, decision-making, midrange touch)

I've never in my life seen any non-center come close to being as dominate as Jordan was in the half court. A lot of the younger kids think he was "slower" because he didn't play in a high tempo offense. This video illustrates clearly why he didn't need too, and why he wouldn't want too. He saved that energy for defense.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: SIMPLY THE BEST EVER!

MJ was so graceful and dominant at the same time. Just the perfect player to represent what basketball should be

The “up-and-under” for jump shots is sweet! …the hang time in his younger days is unmatched!!

That fadeaway was unstoppable. I've seen the Knicks lose every saturday it seems back then..

Unmatched footwork

post up + turnaround fadeaway jumper = GOAT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It's like poetic art watching him play...

His quickness and precision footwork are so fun to watch

my god... it's so beautiful to watch the way he maneuvers

Why is no-one talking about 1:23? I've yet to see that in the NBA in my 10 years of watching. He literally moves around defenders like they are still and glides so effortlessly.

Greatest scorer in NBA history. Goat shots and moves by the goat.

Jordan spends so much time in air it looks so effortless like it's in slow mo

As much as I love a savage dunk or block, there's probably nothing prettier on a court than a well-executed mid-range fadeaway. Kids today love the three and for good reason but I still love the mid-range two, primarily because of MJ.

I just found myself smiling from ear to ear...so many jump shots with hands directly in his face, heavily defended and he absolutely owns them! He was such a beast!! Zion needs to emulate everything MJ does here, no 3's, just power moves and short jumpers!

Honestly Zion in the post would be a huge problem too and he could score a bunch in the post w his size

I am a diehard MJ fan - this is the best MJ highlight video that I have ever seen - the mastery of the craft, the footwork, the head fakes, ball fakes, putting that body on the defender and backing them down, the finishing touch, using the left hand to create distance between the defender, using that glass, and all the other crazy sh*t he did while in mid air - you can see more confidence in his (back to the rim game) later in his career - earlier he would just post up and go up in the air and stay in the air 20 minutes until the defender has eliminated his own self out of the play, then shoot 🤣 - later on, he was backing the defender down using a lot of body contact and footwork to score - MJ23 G.O.A.T.

And did it all without traveling

We need a hakeem olajuwon post up powerhouse. Greatest post player of all time. It'd be legendary

I’d say Kobe is the best post player. He’s mastered every post move there is. The way he just uses his surroundings to his advantage for example when throws it off the back board to him self out of a double team.

Hakeem was incredible but Jordan is truly the Goat.I love Kobe Bryant and you can see how much he looked like MJ but MJ is smooth as hell with it.

I thought he got blocked at 0:42 and 1:15 but dem he adjusted it mid air just like that. Don’t see that in todays game anymore. Poetry!

If you contest too early, he will fake, do a step through and lay/dunk it in. If you contest late, he will fadeaway. If you contest at the right time and play good defense, he still makes it. A defender can literally do nothing about MJ except to just hope that he misses. It’s mind-blowing.

Incredible how efficient, versatile and deceptive his game play was

These videos deserve more likes and respect

I love how you showed him going to his Left, then plays of him goin to his right, & after the fadeaways..Great Video 👏

Just so beautiful to watch an art in human form Jordan is cut amongst the greatest he's something else feels like he cameout of some comics or fantasy books he is indeed legendary among legends! THE GOAT!

His footwork and mid range was beautiful. He may not have had a high percentage 3 point shot but he could definitely make 3s if wanted too but from mid range he was fucking amazing.

Prettiest fadeaway I've ever seen

2:07 a lot of young boys out there that they think thats kobe's signature move. Now if they watch these highlights. Theyll be like oh shit thats from mj.

It’s cool seeing how in his early days he had a lower set point and he would have to jump higher and square his shoulders mid air to make the shot while in his older days he would jumped less and had a higher set point and only squared up with the follow through. Pretty interesting to see the progression
