A few jumpshots that Jordan can't make (of many)

[andgar923]

Is this real life?

Does the OP think he's actually on to something?

3ball basically shits MJ gifs, this is an appetizer for him

I don't know what you're trying to prove by posting those gifs.

I can find countless crazy 3pt shots and near half-court shots if I go through some Kobe highlight reels.

I can do the same for Lebron, Wade and even guys like Iverson, Kidd and Marbury.
That doesn't make them Curry's equal as perimeter shooters.

What you did is pointless and can be done for any guard/wing who can shoot the ball half decently.

MJ at his best made 1.1 3pt shots a game on 37%

Curry right now is making 5.0 3pt shots a game on 43%

Jordan did get at least 1 finals MVP vote though. Don't recall Toni Kukoc ever winning the award.

This thread is confusing, because the OP is saying that Jordan can't hit those shots. But they're just jump shots. It's almost as if the OP never saw Jordan play, and thought he never hit a 3 pointer.

Obviously Curry is the better 3 point shooter. He's better than Miller. But Jordan can make all of those jump shots.

Now as for the fancy dribbling. What's amazing about Jordan is that he creates shots in a split second, and unfortunately most kids don't realize how impressive and beautiful that is. So they would see Curry doing some fancy dribble, and think that's superior.

Jordan was zero wasted movement.

As you say, kids don't realize the main difference between MJ and Kobe was the speed of action, not the repetoire. Jordan never wasted time standing around dribbling, he was essentially every high school basketball teachers dream: "Don't put the ball on the floor before you know what you're going to do", yes I've heard that, anyone who played heard that.

Jordan was the ultimate tripple threat player and everything he did happened in a matter of miliseconds. Watch those body fakes, lightning quick, then drive or shoot or pass.

So much have been copied or attempted to be copied by players, but very few have actually watched behind the flashy dunks and fadeaways and see what is actually behind, moving with a purpose ALWAYS.

Kawhi clearly has watched Jordan and so far this season he is clearly incorporating quick attacks and movements into his game. Until now he doesn't have the ability to also pass with quickness but his shooting and driving with speed is getting there.

Damn hate to encourage 3ball but he just ethered the fukk out of OP, meticulously posted Jordan duplicating all those shots Curry did in the OP and then some hang-time 3's that Curry clearly can't do

OP hung by his tongue while 3ball kicked out the stool

This is probably one of the strongest ethers EVER in ISH history.

Don't even deny.

Also notice how most of those gifs are with the clock winding down, GOAT clutch and the reason for why MJ didn't shoot that many 3s, he was old school and most took 3s as bailouts.

[CavaliersFTW]

Reminds me of that story when some opposing fan told Jordan "b-b-but Drexler is a better three point shooter than you.." and MJ responded with:

"Drexler is a better 3 point shooter than I CHOOSE to be."

How did OP get ethered?

Yes Jordan occasionally hit difficult deep perimeter shots that Curry seemingly hits on the regular but that doesn't mean they are equal as shooters.

Curry is a far, far better perimeter shooter then Jordan was, period, especially once you get beyond the true mid-range area into the deep 2/3pt areas.

OP should post a bunch of GIF's of MJ blocking shots and then we can talk about how he was equal to Mutombo as a shot-blocker.
Oh he could have blocked 4+ blocks per game if he CHOSE TO hurr.
He could have made 5 three's a game on 40+% shooting if he CHOSE TO.

Nobody said they were equal shooters dipshit.

OP claimed Jordan "can't make" any of those shots.

He did make them though.

[sd3035]

this might be the most asinine thread i have ever read on insidehoops. you are saying jordan cant make pull up 3 pointers?

Ordan was a terrible outside shooter

[ShaqTwizzle]

He did make them though.

So has Wade, Kobe, Iverson, Marbury, Jamal Crawford & J.R. Smith etc...
Doesn't mean anything shitdip.

Curry >>>> Jordan as an overall perimeter shooter.

That is all that matters.
