I found this because apparently harvey polluck saidjordans best jump shooting season he averaged 35% from mid range to prop up the 60s players. yeah, he lied. lol even on the wizards he averaged 40+ percent from 16ft out. goes to show how some players are biased towards thier own era)VA guy on ISH forums actually compiled shooting data for MJ from the 89-90 to the 91-92 season, 126 games in total. It's a nice sample size to see how efficient peak Jordan was from all parts of the court although it's likely that there is a bit more footage of his good games than his bad ones.
For the entire data his FG% is 53.5% which is slightly above his FG% for all 3 seasons of 52.8%. It's a small difference so this data should paint a good picture
its a 140 game sampple
and yes, if it wasnt already clear, now he is the goat.
1989-90: 35 games
1990-91: 44 games
1991-92: 47 games

Synergy Offense
PPP stands for Points Per Play. I did not record the number of possessions, but rather the number of offensive plays that Jordan was involved in, meaning he either attempted a FG and/or FT, or turned the ball over (on drives to the hoop). I did not record any FTA he had as a result of intentional fouls or penalty fouls where he was not aggressively attacking or attempting to make an offensive play. No technical FT's are on the chart either. Every play category aside from Transition is in a half court set, and transition also includes jump shots, though this was very rare. The Other category primarily consists of desperate attempts to beat the clock, including the full court buzzer beaters.
There are several sub-categories out of Isolation. Jordan tended to be quick and decisive, very seldom holding onto the ball longer than 3-4 seconds like the wing players do in this era. Another category is Drive To Basket, which measures his effectiveness driving to the hoop strictly in the half court. Every other category is basically a jumper, though if there is a pick in the two man game that enables him to get an advantage over the defense, then it is recorded as under the P&R Ball Handler category. This includes jump shots as well as drives to the hoop.
Shot Attempts Blocked (Offense): 67
*This means 2.1% of his shots (3128 FGA) were blocked in this footage
