Opinions on Jordans

[mjm76]

I was thinking of trying to save enough money to buy either the gold MJ 95-96 or the Ruby MJ 95-96 all time scorers.


I already have the MJ Dunkers.


Would this be worth it to do this or not? I was looking for more 3 pt. accuracy from the 95-96 card.


How do these MJ compare in ability.


Stat wise they seem very similar except for the 3pt ratings.


Thanks for any feedback on MJ.

I prefer the '89 Jordan. He is much cheaper and an "One of Kind" card. Only other OaK Jordan is the '93MJ. I don't have any problems with 3pt scoring, most of the time MJ'89 scores above 65% behind the line. '89 has 99 Dunk ratings, awesome passing stats and also the best Rebound stats of all Jordans. 40 badges and faster than all other Jordans except Dunker MJ. So if you want a real Jordan card get MJ'89 or if you need some higher 3pt stats get the MJ'93. MJ'96 costs three times more than '89MJ and has a dealbreaking 94 Dunk rating. If you really want to go for him get at least the Ruby Version with 36 badges, gold only has 33. Smartest choice would be to stick with the Dunker MJ and use your MTs on someone else.

I've heard the same thing, that 96 MJ is a very bad finisher compared to the other versions.

My only concern with the 89 Jordan was that his mid range tendencies and contested shot tendencies are good, but a step below the older versions. I ended up going with the 90-91 over the 92-93 for the slight boost in speed, and he was like 40k cheaper.

I don't mind the average 3 point rating because I only take them when he's open so he knocks down most of them. And when he catches fire, his 3 point rating increases to the point where it becomes even more consistent.

His 99 contested shot tendency and high 90s mid range shot tendencies are great. He hits so many shots as long as he gets a little bit of space.

I prefer almost any Gold Jordan to the Ruby Dunkers one who when I played a few games with him, just didn't play the way I expected him to play.

96 dunk rating is deal breaking? Lol.

He dunks on mostly everyone for me, his Ruby tendencies are 100 for flashy and contact dunks.

On the rare occasion, he doesn't dunk, he will almost always finish the layup.

Not the case at all with the ruby. He finishes almost everything at the rim for me, mostly on dunks.

I've had him for a substantial amount of games, playing in the first and second seeds.

I'm sure you're right, it's just what a friend who regularly used the 91 MJ before repeatedly told me.
