Legendary Michael Jordan is believed to be one of the best players in the history of the NBA. There are not many records that he did not break during his time on the court.
He won six NBA championships in his illustrious career with the Chicago Bulls. That’s not it as he went on to become the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) on six occasions as well. To go with that, he was also named to the NBA All-Star teams on 14 occasions.
However, one contest was such that Jordan remained the worst in the history of the competition. That might be surprising for some but that remains the case.
Jordan took part in only one three-point contest which was back in 1990 and his record remains the worst ever. He ended up netting just 16.67 % of his tries, an incredibly low number to say the least.
Jordan played nearly all his career with the Chicago Bulls and ended up registering more than 32,000 points to go with 6,672 rebounds and 5,633 assists.
His most impressive season was the 1986-87 one where he registered 3,041 points to go with 430 rebounds and 377 assists. It was the only season where he registered more than 3,000 points.
