Are there any doubts? Perhaps. MJ’s abilities may be exceptional, but the game has changed a lot since the Bulls’s victorious era. The focus is on three-point shooting, and Jordan was not an ace in this area with his 32.7% career.
However, many have rubbed shoulders with him claiming that MJ would have adapted perfectly to his time, and would have become a sniper if necessary. Nowadays, we are therefore almost certain that Jordan would have made the efforts necessary to become a three-point killer. KD doesn’t doubt it either.
Different era? No problem for Michael Jordan according to Kevin Durant. A sacred validation for His Majesty.
