I might be tripping out, but I don't think he's human. I don't think any combination of any type of genes could ever come together again to conceive somebody like Michael Jordan. He, in my mind, stands head and shoulders above any sports figure that has ever live.
no one before Michael Jordan does the the fadeaway and the step back jumper the way he did!! he not only popularized but pioneered and made these shots his own. MJ really is the master, the G.O.A.T. everyone else are just followers..
I'm 24 years-old and been playing since I was 3. Having CP, and basically playing with one hand, I've never been the most athletic and never once did a step-back jumper in my life. Recently playing a pickup game, I tried it without thinking and drained the three. I was in total awe of what I had just pulled off.
After watching him for 14 years and seeing every highlight 1,000 times, I JUST realized he had this move. It shows more of the difference between him and guys like Harden. Note the absence of wasted movement or flair....just creating space without trying to be cool.
I already think MJ's the goat.. now that I found out about his step back jumpers.. there really shouldn't be any more debates. This is crazy! And it looks so damn perfect.
