He's been 36% and a bit since his rookie year from beyond the arc, on high volume. He's a WAY better 3 point shooter than MJ in that context, especially when you take out the shortened 3 point line years. But you already knew that.
1993: 2.9 attempts at .352%... above .336% league-average
1995: 1.9 attempts at .500%... again, waaaaaaaaaay above the .359% league-average
1996: 3.2 attempts at .427%... again, waaaaaaaaaay above the .367% league-average
1997: 3.6 attampts at .374%... again, above the .360% league average
Shortened line OR not (ie; 90 and 93) when Jordan took 2 or more long-range shots per game he was always above-average-to-great, relative to his peers.
Fact!
Over his career Jordan attempted "only" 1.7 long-range shots per game... and his .327% career average overall was average.
Edwards has shot average to BELOW league-average every year of his career.
...and here's a newsflash: You actually get BETTER when you practice more; thus, the more 3-pointers Jordan took the BETTER he shot. Hence, it stands to reason if he attempted 5 or more a game his percentage would increase accordingly as well... unless you think practicing more makes you worse?
Next.
No. He was a mediocre 3 point shooter and Edwards is a far better 3 point shooter. Period.
Jordan taking 2 or more 3-pointers per game = above league-average AND >>>> Edwards.
Overall for his career Jordan was average relative to his peers, while Edwards is below-average.
Stone cold facts that your uninformed opinion does not change.
Fact!
Oh, and BTW... since you and your BWGC pals love the stat sooooo much, and place immense credibility on its findings:
Jordan: .569% TS%
Edwards: .558% TS%
Ouuuuuch!
