Jordan Set the Lowest Three-Point Contest Score

Three-Point Contest Fun Fact 3 min read

Michael Jordan is one of the greatest players in NBA history.

This fun fact shows that even the GOAT had a weakness: the Three-Point Contest.

Jordan was an elite scorer—his mid-range jumper and drives were all-time great.

From deep, however, he was less efficient, with a career 32.7% from three.

In the 1990 Three-Point Contest, he scored only 5 points—the event’s all-time low.

The record reflects his skill profile and the era’s emphasis.

Back then, threes weren’t the primary scoring method; Jordan thrived inside the arc.

It’s a reminder that even legends have specific areas less suited to their game.

Tip

Consistent fundamentals and focus determine steady game performance.

"Michael Jordan is one of the greatest players ever, with a legendary career."
