Many people can shoot the fadeaway. It ain't really a special shot in 2022.

What makes Jordan's fadeaway special though is all the other shyt he can do in addition to that option: arsenal in the post, court vision from there, etc. Dude was strong enough to backdown smaller defenders all the way down to the post, but also quick enough to shake whoever had bad leverage on his back.

Then he had the option to shoot the fade.

Most players can only shoot the fadeaway from the post and that makes them easier to defend.

Yes, he versatility with it stuck out. He seemed to be equally good at going to either his left or his right. I noticed that Hakeem’s great fadeaway was pretty much only to his left. But you couldn’t overplay him to his left, because he would spin around you or use out of his 1,000 post moves.

Jordan could use the fadeaway after posting up or do it very effectively after driving and pulling up.

Everyone remembers his post game and fadeaway for the 96-98 title run when he polished it up, but look at how good it already was on the 92’ title run

How do you know what a grown man's body looks like? Negged.

:dame: energy in them words

Because he looked like a weakling being dominated and pushed around by smart, tatum and brown.

MJ put on muscle after getting bullied by The pistons. Shieeet even curry put on some upper body muscle and improved defensively. Im not even going to mention somebody with the same dimensions as him like Giannis.

All the greats improve on their weaknesses. KD has regressed on what he improved on in GS defensively and playmaking wise. And there is no injury excuse anymore. He should be working on his game and getting his body right and maybe investing in some combs and some lotion instead of being on twitter 24/7 he is a multi millionaire and is worried about being mentioned on twitter. Worry about improving your game KD Top 10 talent but weak mentally. Who gives a fukk about twitter mention i would be knee deep in pussc or working on my game fukk a twitter.

Yup. Left/right fadeaways in the post, left/right fadeaways off the dribble, etc.
Then throw in all the pump fakes and hesitations.

Like this right here could've been a fadeaway, but instead:


However, you've seen Jordan hit easy fadeaways off the first crossover when in that exact same position so you got to respect that first shot. That countermove was a little extra sauce.

You guys are actually stupid LOL, he was tagged and he responded....what's the problem?

He's also right too LOL
He was tagged by some Boston Celtics podcaster looking for attention. I get tagged or quoted by dummies on here from time to time but have self control not to respond to every troll :hubie:

KD would have dominated the 90s :wow:
One series against the pat Riley's knicks, :flabbynsick: pistons, or pat Riley' heat would have him retire after getting bytch slapped by a Lambeer, mason/oakley, a alonzo mourning elbow to the head like pippen would have him question reality. If he get sensitive over twitter comments what would an actual 90's elbow from karl malone would do?

Shiiiet Dennis Rodman would have KD pulling his own hair like Ashley from the boys.

You best believe that if social media was prominent during the 90s that MJ would have Twitter fingers too. He’d be taking it personal whenever Cap, Wilt and Magic stans were going at his neck.
