“But no matter how you put it, the turnaround fadeaway skill with the ‘picture-perfect’ effect is something that only a handful of people in NBA history possess. You have to know, the ‘picture-perfect’ effect is the only effect in the entire system that is immune to game intensity and directly increases shooting percentage!”

“So, does that mean my skill is really amazing?”

Looking at the pouting boss, the girl who looked both extremely angry and adorable, Henry Lincoln asked again with some uncertainty. Judging from this shameless girl’s earlier explanations, it seemed that Kobe’s skill was indeed very powerful, and the attached ‘picture-perfect’ effect was also rare in NBA history.

“Of course! Although many people can do this move, if you add the ‘picture-perfect’ effect, it’s simply the best scoring skill for a player—especially in terms of scoring bursts and consecutive points, it’s almost unrivaled. So, in today’s NBA, across the entire league, the only player with the ‘picture-perfect’ effect on the turnaround fadeaway is Jordan, and if Jordan’s ‘picture-perfect’ effect is at level one, the shooting percentage drop also starts at 60%, just like Kobe!”

“Then why is Jordan’s skill a purple S-level, while Kobe’s is only purple-gold A+ level?”

Henry Lincoln asked again in confusion. In fact, ever since Kobe taught him this skill, he had been very puzzled. Judging by Kobe’s move and the one he saw Jordan do on TV, aside from their looks and body shapes, the move was almost identical. Why is one A+ and the other S?

“It’s simple. The reason why Kobe and Jordan’s skills are almost identical in movement and their ‘picture-perfect’ effects are very similar is because Jordan’s physical attributes are superior to Kobe’s. So, compared to Kobe’s ‘picture-perfect’ skill, which ignores game intensity and personal stamina, Jordan’s ‘picture-perfect’ effect also comes with the ability to ignore individual defense. For example, to learn Kobe’s skill, you only need a height and wingspan of 1.98 meters, but to learn Jordan’s skill, you need a wingspan of 2.12 meters. Besides that, there are also increased requirements for jumping and balance.”

It actually ignores individual defense?!

After the girl finished speaking, Henry Lincoln was once again shocked. Ignore individual defense? He naturally understood what that meant. In other words, after Jordan’s skill gained the effects of ignoring game intensity, personal stamina, and individual defense, then in any game—whether it’s preseason, regular season, playoffs, finals, or any other type of game—as long as it’s one-on-one, he’s invincible, and can remain invincible from start to finish.

Thinking of this, Henry Lincoln finally understood why the Pistons came up with the ‘Jordan Rules’ back then. The ‘Jordan Rules’ were created because the Pistons had already realized that Jordan was invincible from beginning to end. You have to know, the Pistons were one of the toughest defensive teams in the league at the time. If even a team like that admitted Jordan’s invincibility, what more is there to say?

“Jordan’s skill is just too terrifying! The system actually has an effect that ignores individual defense!”

Thinking of this, Henry Lincoln realized once again that even after watching nearly two months of Jordan and the Bulls’ games, he still didn’t fully understand his idol.

“Don’t think this effect is too overpowered. In fact, in the system, many players’ skills have the effect of ignoring individual defense!”

“For example, there’s a power forward named Dirk Nowitzki, whose golden skill ‘one-legged fadeaway’ also has the effect of ignoring individual defense—even the turnaround fadeaway skill!”

“There’s also a player named Tracy McGrady. When he uses this skill, he also has the ‘picture-perfect’ skill effect, and this effect also has the attributes of ignoring individual defense and game intensity. However, it doesn’t have the attribute of ignoring personal stamina. So, even though Tracy McGrady’s ‘picture-perfect’ ignores individual defense, he’s not invincible, because he doesn’t have unlimited stamina!”

“Of course, there’s also a player named Kevin Durant. When he uses the turnaround fadeaway, although he doesn’t have the ‘picture-perfect’ effect, because of his unique physique, his ‘tall as a tower’ effect can greatly increase the release point of his shot and also comes with the effect of ignoring defense!”

“There’s also LeBron James. When he does the turnaround fadeaway, the attached effect is ‘strong as a bull’. This effect isn’t very aesthetically pleasing, but it greatly enhances physical confrontation and stability during the shot, and also comes with the effect of ignoring individual defense!”

“So in NBA history, players like Durant and James have all kinds of effects attached to this move, but even if they’re amazing at the turnaround fadeaway, the highest level seems to be only gold. That’s because no matter how good they are at this skill, it doesn’t directly increase their shooting percentage. Even though their actual shooting percentage with this skill might not be lower than Kobe, Tracy McGrady, or Jordan, and might even be higher!”
