Youtuber JxmyHighroller tracked and then compared Jordan's left hand points per iso efficiency against the league's best iso scorers today while using either hand. Turns out Jordan's iso efficiency with only his left hand is far superior to any player in the league even removing Jordan's dominant hand in the comparison. Jordan's ability to finish with his left hand was basically unparalleled in the history of basketball for a wing iso finsher.



For those who want to watch the video breakdown and analysis. Analysis of Jordan's iso scoring numbers starts at 19m mark for those who do not want to watch whole video.

There's so much space in today's game, plus the center can't even camp the paint. LeBron stans will always come up with some excuse though

Jordan played in an era where zone wasn't allowed and there were illegal defense rules. You either had to man up off ball, or fully commit to a double team. Defenses were NOWHERE near as good/complex as they are now with rotations and coverage from help defenders. Watch an NBA defense now, with all of the switching and rotations and off ball movent and compare it to the laughable shit Jordan would see.

Jordan said himself: "if teams were able to play zone defense, I wouldn't have had the career I had."

Plus that mf played against half a league full of plumbers and substitute teachers in an expansion era. So many unathletic garbage men playing in the league 🙄

Yeah MJ overall is definitely the GOAT!!!

Can see all his skills and competitiveness is still unmatched while being able to tough it out 80+ games 10 different seasons.

Owning the 90s vs 30 teams and TWO Three-Peats!!!! Best in all sports. Even Patrick Mahomes now attempts for a first ever NFL three peat b)

Even though you seem like a LelBron Stan I can respect you for saying this

Because if you were one of these Gen z kids who never watched MJ play just blindly stating that LBJ>MJ it would grind me gears

Lol thx b)

Gotta respect MJordan accomplished more 6 wins two three peats in a 15 year dominant career while playing mostly for ONE team.

The way MJ refuses to lose during those 6 Finals Win -0 losses is worthy of the Greatest of All Time Title.

LABron James is a Great Basketball Player for 2 decades plus+ but his not as skilled and a winner like MJ was, cannot win it all when the opportunity presented itself, lost to Mavs leading 2-1 with JJ Brea under 6ft tall guarding him locking him up, lost to Warriors 2015 leading 2-1, lost to Old Spurs 2014 with a chance to ThreePeat that had old Duncan and Young Kawahi. Lost to Nuggets last year all 4 games when every game was winnable within 5 points.

Put Jordan into those situations and No Doubt MJ win them all. :hail:
