Why was Jordan so much more efficient than every athletic player in today's game?
Jordan didn't have a jumpshot in his early years so you can't use that as an excuse.

Did you know the average measured c0ck size in the 1984 NBA Draft Combine was 5inches?
It was just an all around less alpha era.

MJ not having a jumpshot from early on is a bit of a myth. He was a more than decent jumpshooter inside 15ft, of course he became far more prolific later on, but it was never a liability.

Very true, more than just a BIT... He already had a deadly jumpshot when close to the paint, and was shooting around 85% from the FT-line on lots of attempts.
He was also an athletic freak with one of the quickest 1st steps ever, jumped out of the gym and had terrific finishing skills, was a beast on the fastbreak, great footwork already (on both ends), great instincts (on both ends), high IQ, handles, passing capabilities...

ISH, where not being a good three point shooter is equal to having no jumpshot whatsoever.

Then all the other players should have been able to put up similar stats. Why didn't they?

From MJ's rookie season, his midrange jumpshot was pretty good..
Sure - there are quotes saying he couldn't shoot early in his career - but this is hyperbole..
A massive chunk of his 37 ppg was jumpshots - he probably hit more jumpshots in 1987 than anyone else
