    Greatest shot creator in NBA history. His impossible athleticism & his mastering of the fundamentals are the reasons he created so much space so frequently. Kobe made a career of knocking down tough shots over great defense. Mj made a career of getting wide-open regardless of whatever the defense was doing

    Yeah these idiots saying he was guarded by plumbers and smaller guards in the 80s and 90sand yet in 2003, a 40yr old, post-retired, busted-kneed Jordan moved up to small forward and averaged 20+ ppg. Even dropped 45 pts on the nets while being guarded by young 6'7 R.Jefferson, 6'8 Kerry Kittles and 6'10 Keith van horn on the same year. He's the faster, quicker, more athletic and skilled version of Kawhi.

    What's funny is that he did all of this instinctively based on how he had his defender leaning etc. I can assure you he wasn't thinking of mechanics and which move he was going to use. What was truly mind blowing is that he did the same thing IN THE AIR and would adjust his body based on how the defense was reacting/rotating etc. Obviously the athleticism required is out of this world, but the body control is what sets him apart from any player I have EVER seen. Have you seen that layup against the Nets in his earlier years where he slithers through 4 defenders WHILE IN THE AIR? OMG

    Honestly, as much as his game was polished and allowed him to get separation, a good portion of his already difficult shots were also very well guarded. I mean go ahead and try, see, the fucking strength you need to properly release a contested turnourund 20 footer, just to keep the shot mechanics consistent, it's hard as hell. Imagine his percentages if the spacing was similar to the one in today's game, or if he just made shot selection a priority. The difficulty he actually chose to play at sets him apart, it fucked with the opponents psyche, and it drove him to be even better.

    THE best analysis of his game bar none. Anybody can make highlight clips, but it takes knowledge to understand what made him different, what made him great, what made him GOAT. People see the highlights and non highlight clips and don't grasp how he made everything look so easy. No disrespect to other greats, but the made the game look harder because they weren't as good. I hope you get into an overlooked aspect of his success and that's his read+reaction time. Perhaps only Bird could compare to MJ's read+reaction times. MJ's court vision is 2nd to none which allowed him to scan the floor read the defence and react accordingly. His read+reaction time wouldn't be as effective if he didn't have the foundation which you just illustrated, plus quickness. Can't wait to watch the rest of the vids in this series. Props!

    also to add to this is how difficult it is to be able to do this 'long lunges' in a heart beat, either both left and right, without losing balance. the strength(ankle, leg and core) that is required to perform such lunge as well as squaring up in the air to preform prefect shooting form is largely overlooked. the among of separation he got from his defenders is what made him so out of the world. the sheer acceleration he had for these long lunges or first step really threw off his defenders. many people who say that kobe was a better 'tough/difficult' shot maker than jordan simply don't understand that 1) kobe never had that explosive acceleration that jordan had 2) kobe's read on defense was far inferior, and that put him into many situation when he had to force the shots, 3) kobe's mid-range was never as threatening as jordan's, hence far less defenders would bite his moves.

    This is the best breakdown of MJs game that I have ever seen. One thing with his fadeaway that has not been mentioned is that when he did the shoulder shake, his feet and entire body were always in the same position, meaning he could easily go left or right with equal results (swish) and the defenders could only guess. Most guys nowadays (Lebron for one) cannot even do the fadaway to the right, since the distance of rotation of the body is way longer, before the shoulders are square to the basket, while in the air and they lose their balance before the release. This Video shows and explains perfectly why Jordan has by far the highest skill set in NBA history and why guys nowadays are simply inferior. It is like they own one page out of MJs book.

    I think that does a disservice to LeBron though. LeBron's moves are ok - he's a good ballhandler, ok in the post, a decent shooter all around the floor - but his greatest strengths offensively are his IQ and ability to manipulate the defense with his passing and positioning. Since like 2012 he has basically never been successfully schemed against, only "slowed down" slightly, and it's because it's pretty much impossible to scheme against him now. Also a lot of modern NBA players have said LeBron is one of if not the hardest player to guard, so I'd take their word for it

    I definately appreciate your vid and your Analysis on Jordan's body mechanics. Keep in mind though that basketball always presents you with unexpected challenges and there are times when everything isn't scripted. I don't know whether some will get this or not, but there are times when you "Create On The Fly", Meaning your fundamentals, athletic posture in motion allows you to do and create in that moment! That's a rare gift. What's exceptional is his mechanics ALWAYS being on point, through all those range of motions; in other words, his objective was, "My End Result Always Has To Be, *FROM THE SHOULDER UP* Text book, the same, AKA (THE PERFECT RELEASE). That is INCREDIBLY Hard to do, because the human tendency is to make the necessary change or adjustment based off of what your opponents trying against you. Uniquely MJ did that, (but AMAZINGLY with his lower extremities), which is what makes him so masterful, so elusive, so one of a kind! So, no matter what he had thrown at him, whether he's doubled, triple teamed, whether he have a 7 footer on him or someone 6'-1", whether he was leaning, or being bumped, fouled, his release was ALWAYS Textbook, always so finely tuned that no one would make him change it and all those manuvers which began with his foot work an of course his IQ for reading defenses were all concluded with his last objective; Which was to score using a flawless perfectly formed jumpshot or release that he was determined No One would alter, or change in any way. Man, for anyone to score the way he did, WHERE 3'S WEREN'T EVEN A FACTOR OR MAINSTREAM as it is today, That's A Miraculous Feet Within Itself..... Had it ever gotten blocked? Sure. But at such a small percentage and why? Your vid and analysis explains it perfectly. As I said from the beginning though, everything isn't scripted or planned out because ballin can at times present you with sets of circumstances you didn't anticipate. That's where his Cockyness, Arrogance, and Competitiveness take over, and we saw that in MJ throughout his career.....

    Poetry in motion. Creating his own shots against all his defenders. And he did those moves gracefully every single time. It takes great ball handling, footwork and basketball IQ to do what MJ does best. Today’s player are lazy, they just shoot 3’s rather than work on some moves to beat their defenders. Kobe’s moves were the closest to MJ’s.

    I practiced this a lot. You're essentially shooting from out there with your arms. As you turn and raise your arms, you're raising them as you square up all in one motion and release. The way you release is different from a simple jump shot so you would account for that as well on the shot. In the end, the release is the same with squared shoulders at release and follow through. You can do anything crazy before release as long as you end up with squared shoulders and follow through. Used to cause a lot of problems for defenders on this. Even if they were about to block the shot, it simply shoot a rainbow on a fade (any direction) and hit. Nothing they could do. If they over commit, layup drill or pump fakes. Makes the game real easy if you can shoot like that consistently. Defenders won't play that close unless you can hit like that 3 or 4 in a row cause they think it's a fluke (or if you happen to be Asian and the guy thinks like idiots Stephen A Smith and Chuck who literally didn't believe what they were seeing with Asian players playing at a high level. See their remarks about Lin and Yao respectively) Ball don't lie

    I never thought about the idea that he “showed his elbow” so loudly early in his shot. It helped him sell his shot fake, and the way he put his elbow was on a straight line from the rim to to his chin meant defenders couldn’t come from below and put a hand in his face without going through his elbow and fouling him. He could always locate and maintain his view of the rim.

    I was lucky enough to watch most of MJ's career. Bulls games were televised nationally on WGN and I watched pretty much every game from 1989 on. The skill MJ had in the mid range and his ability to score from everywhere on the floor was just unreal. Kobe is is probably the closest comparison since, but MJ was the best. KD is also great but his height is a big reason for his success, MJ did it with incredible precision. And the court wasn't spaced out like it is today, he was working with a clogged paint, and still got to the cup and finished. We will never see another MJ

    The starting point of all of this is the mid-range accuracy. The defenders know that Jordan is very good mid-range shooter, so you have to contest every shoot he takes. At that point, the pump fake is just too much to handle for a defender. If you wait for him to take off, you are too late. If your don't wait, you will get trapped in the pump fake. If by chance you are on time, the fade away will take him away from you. So first, start by training your mid range, don't bother with the 3s.
