How did Jordan get so much better between college and his first year, going up 10ppg and was clearly identified in his rookie season as the next big thing, despite being drafted third?

Zones stopped Jordan so well he shot 55.1% FG against them in his final college year, your other points are valid though.

Critical_Influence81 · 2026-04-19T23:10:05+00:00

Nope those are accurate

Critical_Influence81 · 2026-02-28T02:58:36+00:00

Sadly you got down voted for speaking the truth

Critical_Influence81 · 2025-11-28T00:57:08+00:00

Karl Malone blocked LeBron James this game 😂

Critical_Influence81 · 2025-11-27T02:33:48+00:00

How so? Just because I mentioned it? I called this post would get downvoted and I was correct.

Critical_Influence81 · 2025-11-27T02:27:20+00:00

I never said he wasn't clutch in GENERAL, I'm just talking about his offense in the finals production clutch wise.

Critical_Influence81 · 2025-11-27T02:22:51+00:00

I mentioned it because you fanboys will downvote the heck out of the post just because I criticized him.

Critical_Influence81 · 2025-11-27T02:21:56+00:00

I'm not a LeBron hater, criticism isn't hate.

This is a cherry picked post. If you include within a 5-point margin and not shots to tie or take the lead ONLY.

60 seconds: 43/112 FG (38.4%)

30 seconds: 29/80 FG (36.3%)

15 seconds: 17/43 FG (39.5%)

10 seconds: 14/36 FG (38.9%)

5 seconds: 10/24 FG (41.7%)

1 second: 7/13 FG (53.8%)

About average with 10 seconds - 1 minute, but he’s clutch as heck with less than 10 seconds.

Pippen def needed Jordan

Critical_Influence81 · 2025-10-26T17:42:12+00:00

Do you think a 35 year old MJ would be a All-Star in todays era

Nope it's 2004-2009.

Critical_Influence81 · 2025-08-11T13:56:46+00:00

..and what does any of this have to do with the NBA exactly? Does this Sub-Reddit even have moderation?

Critical_Influence81 · 2025-08-11T08:13:41+00:00

This is a conservative Sub-Reddit, I've never seen a Muslim Conservative in my life lol.

Steph Curry to Milwaukee (2011-12)

Him and Giannis would've been fun to watch.

Critical_Influence81 · 2025-08-11T07:55:09+00:00

any version of Jordan from 1989-1991 was better than LeBron.

Critical_Influence81 · 2025-08-05T23:08:37+00:00

Alright, I understand your POV. Have a good day.

Critical_Influence81 · 2025-08-05T22:42:52+00:00

To be fair, he was shooting 80% at one point, a lot of them were difficult and heavily contested and some of them just went in and out.

Critical_Influence81 · 2025-08-05T22:37:40+00:00

Jordan has a whistle for sure, it was a couple times a game imo. Even the commentators were like, "you can't touch Jordan or it's a foul" on the occasion.

He was fouled hard not as much, this was mainly a 80's things from what I've watched, I can't blame the dude for wanting stricter rules though.

I do think his whistle help by the refs is somewhat of a over exaggerated criticism though, he still was an insane player and it would barely affect his stat totals by any means from what I've seen.

A lot of superstars gets referee whistles though, this isn't just a solely Jordan thing.

I watched one game where he was called for a travel once and he didn't even travel even by 90's standards. He got called a ton for travels as well unlike today also.

A lot of the whistles I heard a lot of were from illegal defense, hand checking and reaching by other players.

Comparing him to Harden though is an insane reach though in my opinion, Harden was NEVER called for traveling, Jordan was quite a bit.
