Jordan question (alien.top)

In the 1987-88 season Jordan averaged 35PPG while only attempting 0.6 3 pointers per game and only hitting 13% of them. These are the kind of numbers you could expect from a bigman (or Ben Simmons), not from a guard

Question is, how did he manage to score that many points pretty much only from 2 pointers, did teams not adjust to prevent him from driving like they do against Giannis? Young Jordan based on his numbers seemed to not be a threat from outside at all, how was so prolific while at the same time so one-dimensional? I must be missing something

I have a friend that says if you place Jordan in his prime into today’s game, he’d be the 2nd or 3rd best player in the league

Your friend is an idiot.
