The first two episodes of the ESPN docuseries “The Last Dance” — which focuses on the 1997-98 Bulls — featured a plethora of acrobatic plays from Michael Jordan. Dunks, wild layups and so on.
But “The Last Dance” also highlighted a few of MJ’s big-time shots, like the championship-winning shot he hit in college as a freshman. And there have been others through the years, but Jordan is often remembered for his amazing display of athleticism above all else.
Though, Jordan’s impressive shooting is not lost on Kevin Durant.
While talking with Jay Williams during a special for The Boardroom, the Brooklyn Nets forward even went so far to say MJ is among the absolute best shooters to ever play the game:
Michael was a pure shooter, too. A lotta people didn’t label him as a pure shooter because [of] his athleticism, but I think that he was one of the best shooters to ever play. I think he was one of the best shoots to ever play. Top-5, top-10 shooter to ever play. Everything was bottoms. So, I tend to watch that because all you ever hear is “Your Airness,” [and] “Air Jordan.”
Episode 3 of “The Last Dance” airs on ESPN on Sunday at 9 p.m. and will be directly followed by episode 4.
