The Michael Jordan stat you never knew

Posted Jul 20, 2017
This space was meant for a column about the 25th anniversary of the 1992 USA Basketball Dream Team. But I stumbled across a statistic I never knew about Michael Jordan, and it blew my mind so much that I sent the Dream Team to the bench. Jordan shot 83.5 percent from the foul line in his 15-year NBA career. Only twice in his career did his percentage dip below 80. (Knoxville News Sentinel)
