And of the eight seasons he did score 30+, 30.4 was the second lowest- how many guys would KILL\u00a0for a season like that?<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting piece of statistical information for you about\u00a0MJ. Entering &#8217;95-&#8217;96, Jordan had made 303 of 987 attempts from beyond the arc in 10 seasons, hitting them .306% of the time.<\/p>\n<p>In his\u00a011th\u00a0season,\u00a0MJ\u00a0hit 111 of 260, hitting treys at a clip of .427%, tied with Hubert Davis for\u00a010th\u00a0best percentage in the league.<\/p>\n<p>It goes to show you why Jordan was great- even though he was the best ever, even already at that point, he worked on his weak areas until they were strengths.<\/p>\n<p>With that kind of leadership and talent, it&#8217;s no wonder why that Bulls had the success they did.<\/p>\n<h3>Related 72 10 Bulls Content:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Today In NBA History 1984: Bulls Sign Michael Jordan<\/li>\n<li>VIDEO: NBA Great Steve Smith On Guarding Michael Jordan, Where He Keeps

I\u2019ve done stand-up comedy, I'm a dad, former youth soccer club President, and former team statistician for the oldest indoor football team in the world, the Omaha Beef. I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about. I don't take anything too seriously and it is a real time saver.","url":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/author\/paul\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1287"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1287\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i80sportsblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
