3pt line shortened in 95, 96, 97. What effects did this have on poor shooters? Facts:
MJ for his career shot .327 from 3p but that is with the benefits of lil tykes line in 95, 96, 97. If you take those seasons out and only focus on the normal 12 season of his career his 3p% is...
343 for 1189
.288%

You wouldn't trust Jordan to tie the game if he is down by 3.

Shooting and scoring are different things.
Jordan is the GOAT scorer (and player) because he incorporated elite shooting in specific pockets, with his dominant athleticism and finishing ability.. which was the best part of his game.
He was a scorer first and a shooter second. The man has nowhere near the accuracy long range or even shooting a simply free throw... which is the most basic "shooting" aspect of basketball.

Let´s compare MJ´s best seasons shooting threes to Curry´s worst seasons shooting threes.........
Michael Jordan
1992, 1995, 1996, and 1997
3P% 41 percent
3PA: 4 threes attempted....
https://www.basketball-reference.com...jordami01.html
Compare that to Curry´s worst seasons........
Stephen Curry
2009-2013
3P% 45 percent
3PA: 8 threes attempted....
https://www.basketball-reference.com...curryst01.html
Curry is the better shooter and its not even close......and I am not even including Curry´s best seasons shooting the 3 ball.......
NOTE: I used per 100 possessions.

Come on guys. Context matters. In this spread court no defense era, Curry shoots 3's better because that is all he does for the most part. He is allowed to shoot 3's all game and they do everything they can to get him open shots. During MJ era that stuff just didn't happen. It was a drive to the basket with three guys waiting for you or a take mid range jump shot league. Curry would never have been allowed to fire up 3's all game long back then. Let's at least try to be fair.
