Why Michael Jordan's Turnaround Fadeaway Was So Devastating

Michael Jordan's turnaround fadeaway was one of the most unguardable shots in NBA history, right up there with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Sky Hook. MJ's turnaround fadeaway was unstoppable because he could execute the turnaround going either baseline or middle, the fadeaway give him plenty of separation, and he mastered the overall move to counter any defense thrown at him.
Double, and he'd just spin away from the double. Don't double, and he would simply dominate his man. In this video, we go through numerous examples, showing how Jordan would execute this move to counter the defense.

Notice how Jordan never looks off balance. Despite fading away, his shoulders are always squared up as he is releasing the shot. Absolutely incredible!

Michael Jordan perfected that turnaround jumpshot to conserve his energy throughout the game. That move was so effective that no one was able to block it. His footwork was just incredible. He simply just can unleash that move on anyone at anytime, and it could not be stopped. "You can jump high as you can to try to stop that turnaround fadeaway jumpshot. You can contest it, but it doesn't matter. You can't stop that turnaround jumper." -Latrell Sprewell

SUPERB! EXCELLENT break-down of MJ's post moves! Could you please make more like this? Higher quality if possible too? I realize the 90's had low resolution, but some Tuber's are improving the video clarity somehow.

He played in the Golden Era of Big Men. Amazing post players like Hakeem, Ewing & O’Neal. And as a perimeter player, he was just as dominant from the post.

I like how he kick that leg out..

Something in the water at Chapel Hill b/c James Worthy also had an incredible turnaround J. I always wondered who they were emulating from the 70s? Elvin Hayes?

Yes, before I learned about Jordan I copied James Worth's turn around.
