The return - Part 1
When Jordan came back in 1996 it was obvious that the fadeaway was Jordan's new best friend. He would create space by giving his defender a shoulder fake, then step back for the shot, often landing on one foot and contorting his body. He changed because he knew he was no longer the Jordan of yore
Larry Brown was the coach of the Pacers at the time. "If he ever starts making that shot consistently," Brown said of the fadeaway, "he's going to be even better than he was when he left."
