I could beat him if we were playing from half court. I used to work at a YMCA and whenever we took the kids out to the courts i would just shoot from half court over and over. This would be many hours a week and it gave me a great half court shot but i suck from anywhere closer now, i always over power the ball.

1/1000? I'm not good at basketball at all and I think it's very possible.

The tricky part is determining the 3-point percentage of an "average" player. I'd guess a definite "no".
My friend did the math on it, took him forever he said, but if the average shooter was a 1/5 shooter and MJ was a 2/3 shooter then roughly 1/1000 games you would win.
Take that as you will.

I'm positive I could beat him at least 1 game out of 1000. Probably way more than 1 game, though.
Also, MJ never shot 66% from the field, especially not from 3pt. He was never a great 3pt shooter compared to other NBA players.

if we took all 3 pointers, i think i would win atleast 100 times out of 1000. i have been playing b-ball for around 8-9 years and have developed a pretty good shot. a perfect shot, i am told hah.
but yeah i won the 3-point contest in my basketball league 3 times out of 5 times. making 16 out of 20, 3 pointers for one of the wins. and i think 15 out of 20, 3 pointers for another of the wins. i roughly make about 4-7 3 pointers a game when i am playing also.
i would probably bet about 500$ with michael that i would beat him atleast 100 times.

If I got to kick him in the knee cap first. Then yes.
