Jordan wasn’t just any basketball player, he is revered for his competitiveness, and how beautiful that fire translated on the court. Michael Jordan was poetry in motion; #23 flew through the air, turned, twisted, adjusted, double-pumped, threw it up behind his head with reverse spin, etc.
And despite all that extra, Jordan exceeded expectations. Even when Jordan missed one of his circus shots, fans were so accustomed to seeing him convert those impossible moves that they were surprised that it didn’t go in.
