SGA and Jordan shouldn’t be mentioned in the same sentence. You are kinda doing MJ a disservice with this one.

It's nice of the nursing home to let 3ball have unlimited internet access despite his severe senility.

Lol. There's no correlation between SGA's title run and MJ's GOAT status. I mean nobody is saying SGA is trending towards GOAT status, so it's like you're trying to get ahead of something that isn't even a conversation.

[Full Court]

Using finals 3-pt % isn't really a fair metric for comparing SGA and MJ.

Here's a little fun fact for ya though: Did you know that Jordan has a higher finals 3-pt% than Lebron does? It's funny because Bronies are always trying to say that the ONE THING Lebron has over Jordan is that he's a better 3 point shooter, and yet MJ blows him out of the water when it actually counts - in the finals. Some people just step up under pressure, and some people shrivel. That's why Lebron has such a poor finals record despite having some of the best supporting casts in the history of the sport.

It kills another false narrative, aka 3-point shooting would stop MJ from being the best player in today's game.. That is all.

Obviously, no one is comparing SGA to Jordan as a player - it's only to show that 3-point shooting never mattered and was never going to stop Jordan or anyone from dominating this cupcake era.. The fact that MJ had goat form and became the goat 2-pt jumpshooter, while also shooting well on threes at 3+ attempts (only the bailout volume years being down his efficiency) - this only further makes the "3-point" narrative a bogus one.

Jordan shot 19% from the girl's 3 point line in '97, absolute trash 3 point shooter. He'd be exposed big time as the manufactured star he is if he played in this era.

People have this wierd thing where they think MJ didn't have jumpshot or ability to space the floor. Dude is literally one of the GOAT jumpshooters.

You're 100% correct, and yet it wouldn't matter would it, since 28% is good enough to win the title, as SGA showed..

SGA got a lot of Kobe and MJ comparisons this year. I see more Kobe with his tendency to rely on jumpers.

Pretty damn good playoff run overall, though.

It's because most of his highlights (outside of his game-winners) are him doing crazy layups or dunks. He was the GOAT high-volume jump-shooter. He shot ~39% from 3 for his 1st 3-Peat, the volume went up every year in the POs but the efficiency stayed the same.

It's a shame we don't have the jump shot statistics before '96.. He probably had his best jump-shooting numbers in '93.

There's a much easier way to make your point. All you had to say is look at SGA, who ran the table this year with awards and titles, and then say MJ is bigger, stronger, faster, exponentially more athletic, with GOAT level mid-range shot-making ability. Basic extrapolation.

Meh. 1-9.

The narcissistic mongoloid who posted above you continues to be extremely gay, btw.

^The autistic idiot continues to throw bitch fits over Jordan 20 years after he retired.

And he keeps stinking up the place. Stinky stink weasel.
