    MJ had NO weaknesses, especially as he refined his game. Post, slash, perimeter shooting, baseline, top of the key, he could score from all levels. Add the fact that he was a 10x all NBA 1st team defender (including DPOY) and he's the most complete player at his position. He's a career 5 assist & 5 rebound guy too, and let's not forget that in 88-89, he averaged 32/8/8 for an entire season while switching to point guard. GOAT!

    That turnaround fadeaway jumper is probably the most lethal move in NBA history. Let me re-phrase that: JORDAN'S turnaround fadeaway jumper is probably the most lethal move in NBA history. It literally leaves defenders helpless. Look at how many defenders in this video didn't even try to attempt to contest his turnaround fadeaway. They just stood there and watched the ball soar over their heads. And the guys who did attempt to contest the shot, looked like idiots because their hand was like 2 or 3 feet away from the ball that they were trying to block. That is pretty much how far he is jumping away from the point where he turns around and faces the hoop. Everyone likes to gush over his dunks and his high flying air game like "the move" in the '91 Finals when he switched hands and layed it in. But, that was just the flashy side and only a tiny fraction of what made him so great. I still haven't seen anyone who has a turnaround fadeaway jumper anywhere near as good as Jordan's was when he came back from his retirement from '95 to '98. Not Lebron, not Kobe, not Kevin Durant, nobody. In fact, this aspect of his offensive game is the primary reason why the Lebron vs Jordan debate shouldn't even be a debate at all. In clutch time, Jordan's mid to high post game and his jump shot were basically the Bulls' keys to success. All they had to do was feed him the ball and watch him nail the game winner. Lebron's jump shot is a liability compared to Jordan's in clutch time. In those last 3 seasons in Chicago, his mid to high post game was the most refined of any guard or forward that has ever played the game of basketball. There have been guys like Hakeem who have that unmatched finesse in the post or guys like Lebron who have unmatched power but nobody had a perfect combination of both like Jordan did in that 2nd 3-peat run. I am a Heat fan and when Jordan played us or when I was watching the Bulls play anyone else, whenever he caught the ball with his back to the hoop within 7-10 feet, it didn't matter who was guarding him, I knew it was almost an automatic field goal. His fadeaway was like a hurricane; everyone knew it was coming but there was nothing that they could do to stop it.

    +Jay Man I would suggest anyone wants to figure out MJ's moves to start with how his feet/ankles/balls of feet move. Next is how he set his pivot foot. Combined with the above two, it's clearer to see how MJ triggered moves. That alone makes MJ unique. I see no one has moves that can come even close. Of course, MJ is physically talented enough to finish those moves. But still, technically, no one matches his ability to move like that. His offense usually kept options open. Defenders may catch up once, twice, even three times. Most of the time, there was a moment that the defender had to move to one position to not loose him and MJ just went the other way and finished offending without intense defense. His pivot moves and versatile offense skills leave defenders without options but always try to catch up in opposite directions. IMHO, that's the killer. His games in Wizard are best examples of this.

    Only the Skyhook is blockable if the defender is tall enough which is why it is described as "virtually impossible" to block. Michael Jordan's turnaround fadeaway is completely unblockable when executed properly and by Michael Jordan himself in his prime.

Jordan never force the shoot, he always make the right decision whether to shoot, to pass or to go under the basketball.

    He uses his right foot as the pivot. Being a right hander, most defenders expect him to do the opposite, which is the natural thing and what everyone does. This was what allowed him to do all these crazy moves on the defenders. He makes it look so easy but it is actually REALLY hard. This requires extreme coordination and footwork. I've never seen any other player do this.

    It's his first step. He almost always goes forward on his inner leg. So if he is going left, he plants a hard dribble with his left hand along with a hard right step. If going to the right, then the opposite goes. Probably 80 percent of the time (in the later half of his career) he does one or the other when facing someone up. From this first step he has so many options. he can do a hard pull up, he can do a step back pull up, he can spin move to the opposite side, he can fake any of these moves, he can drive passed to the basket, he can take two dribbles and pull up, two dribbles and spin, etc. So much more. His first step is a true JAB and he pushes off it hard along with the hard dribble and this gives his next movements all the power he needs. It's the ball of his foot that he pushes off of that is very strong and is what gives him that jerky quick movement into whatever move he wants. It all comes out of that triple threat position with the hard jab. It's simple and genius.

    Ken R - no he doesn't have better court vision. Your proofs? Let me guess. ESPN said so. The only reason LBJ averages 2 more assists per game is because he plays the Point Forward position in a system designed around him - he controls 90% of the team's possessions. He's supposed to have more assists. Meanwhile, MJ played Shooting Guard, whose job it is to score, in a system designed to spread assists around and not rely on one playmaker. The Bulls as a team consistently was one of the best in the NBA in assists. However, on an individual pass level, MJ was incredible and made passes LBJ couldn't think of making because MJ had huge hands that allowed him to grip the ball like you or I would a Nerf ball. People need to stop buying in to ridiculous generalizations made by media. LBJ has good court vision but so does half the NBA. His advantage is his height which helps him see over defenders but MJ is nearly as tall. When MJ played PG in 86-87, he recorded 10 Triple Doubles in 11 games. MJ was also infinitely more efficient and rarely turned the ball over, even with his high usage rate. LBJ by comparison is a turnover machine - he tied his own record last season with the most turnovers in a Finals with 5.8 per game.

    The fade away post shot utilized by Jordan is so difficult just on a physical level(needs so much leg and core power/balance plus that hang time to arch it high enough) and on top of that, it was a such high percentage shot that's almost bound to go in every time and worst off all you can't defend it because of this. Defending him must be a pain because even when you contest it, he will make it or pass it to an open teammate. He also knows when a double team approaches and has vision to pass to teammate. Those little mini fake left and right basically made him lethal and unpredictable. He could then score with that fade away or split any day of the week on both sides of the court and body. It really is amazing. His moves are simple but takes immense skill to master/perfect.

    Jordan played striving for PERFECTION with every step of his movement with or without the ball and achieved it. Watch his feet when they come down off of a shot. Watch his balance, control, and form. Simply impeccable... Jordan MASTERED the game of basketball. Something no other player has done or will do.🥇

    Just compare his foot works and body control to anyone else. Leflop is more athletic? compare their foot works and body control. MJ had utmost superior body control and foot work that looked so light and optimal. Lebron still looks too heavy with ugly foot works. I can't find one single weakness in MJ's movements with or without the ball. He has ultimate control on his body movements, even his weak side, the lefty. Nothing looks too forcing or awkward. Everything looks so easy with him. I think it all bases on his ultimate body control, athleticism, and ceaseless work ethic that honed his skills to mastery which goes beyond the game of basketball into an artistry. So graceful to watch and awe-inspiring! I just don't get people that don't understand these simple comparisons. I don't buy what they say about Lebron being more athletic or more skilled. Even some critics mention such statements that makes my head go into stratosphere. I haven't seen a single player to this day that works his body like MJ did. They look strong but never so flawless. Who else does what MJ does in the post, in the perimeter, in the air with all kinds of twitching and pumping and shaking and making the goals with either hand? And they still say Lebron is more athletic or skilled? Am I so dumb to not know what I see? Am I incapable of comparing?

    Kobe Bryant could easily do this stuff too. MJ just was stronger and could jump higher and run faster in his prime. Kobe was probably more skilled with his footwork but he took a lot of low percentage shots which hurt his percentages.

    sonofaballer96 - no he was not more skilled with his footwork, that's just your fanboyism. His post up moves were good but not even close to the complete arsenal MJ had and again, taking stupid shots and missing means you're an inefficient shooter, period. People just make up rationalizations to elevate their idol, ridiculous.

    Not just this. People also forget how good MJ was at moving without the ball. The number of ways the dude could score on you was mind boggling. It's why he was still putting up crazy numbers as a dinosaur in Washington. And here's what's crazy too ... the dude was already posting up and hitting fadeaway js in college. People think his post game developed later on but it was already there since the beginning.

So it's not like he's a weak copy... he's a fairly good copy. But he's still a copy, and not quite as good (which of course only means he's one of the top 5 best players of all time, not the best)
