How do we know if he can shoot the 3 if he didn't?

It's crazy that SGA was able to beat him so easily last summer with a way less talented roster, and then continued that into being so much better all year
It's beyond adorable watching Americans get excited about a guy maybe being really good

His actually good 3 point shooter. 
for most of the yr he was averaging 38%-39% to end the season he went 1-27 from 3 to fukk up his efficiency.

There'll never be another Jordan but that's OK. It'll never be the 80s again. It's two totally different times.
Teams are stacked with talent now! In the 80s you had 1 star and a sidekick. The rest of the players often looked doo doo. Or rather they were more specialized. You didn't have bigs that could bring the ball up court and shoot a 3 at any time.
The situation Jordan fell into may never happen again. Great as Jordan was, he had to fall in the right situation and right coach too.

He has the all-time highest 3 point shooting percentage.

Jordan was a career 32% 3-point shooter, and this includes the shortened 3-point line season which skews the stats a little. If you remove that season, it's closer to 28%, which is worse than Russell Westbrook believe it or not.
MJ simply was not a good 3-point shooter.

No one would have to match Jordan's accomplishments. This arbitrary "gotta win 6" or match Mike's accomplishments thing is going out the window and anyone who really enjoys ball should be in favor of that...
Because Mike didn't play under a premise that he needed to match Russell's accomplishments. Furthermore, I've been saying for the years that the NBA is evolved to a point that no one can have Mike's career again----->Mike was the right guy at the right time but that NBA he played in is archaic compared to today...
Same way that the NBA is too evolved for anyone to have Russell's career again...
Ant's, or anyone else's, claim to becoming the GOAT, is NOT dependent on their career being able to match Mike's; Mike's wasn't dependent on matching Russell's...
I want to believe you.
But the people you'd have to convince on the matter wouldn't see it that way.
Regardless, something that's never been seen before has to happen.
Why do you need to not take a loss in the Finals to be better than Jordan? It's better to lose in the Finals than it is to lose earlier.
