If Jordan were playing in this era, he would have mastered the three.

As good s Jordan was and I believe best all time, I dont think he would ever be the three point shooter Dame or Steph could be. Lqrry Bird, yes, but Jordan was all around athleticism and spots. No doubt he could score 70 but people are like he drop a 100 and I doubt that

Jordan wouldn't be the greatest 3 point shooter ever. I don't see him pulling 40 footers on the regular like Dame and Steph do.

Not with that jumper he wouldn't. His shooting mechanics aren't conducive to deep 3s and that's just a science thing. JJ Redick has mentioned it himself that the way his own jumper is he would have issues shooting deep 3s as well

I can certainly see MJ getting to the level of a 40% shooter proficiency with how maniacal he was but shot selection might take his percentages down a bit.

Meh, nothing crazy. Jordan game would have to change to 3's. Dame hit 13 of them. Thats 13 extra points.

Oh for sure but Jordan would have absolutely adjusted his game. He just didn’t take and make a lot of 3s because he didn’t need to and the game was completely different back then.

Oh he'd certainly stick to shooting them as close to the line as possible.. But if the game called for him to be a better 3 point shooter, you know damn well he'd do it.

He seems to be trying to live a lifestyle of a Tupac. Neither of them were/are hard and we saw the outcome of that.
