In the 1990 All-Star Weekend three-point contest, Michael Jordan scored only 5 points, the lowest score in three-point contest history. This record reflects the characteristics of that era—Jordan's scoring primarily relied on mid-range jumpers and drives to the basket, rather than shooting many three-pointers. Although Jordan occasionally shot threes in games, he never made three-pointers his primary scoring method. This interesting record became a unique footnote in Jordan's career, proving that even the basketball god had areas where he wasn't as strong.
