Michael Jordan made a total of 12,192 shots throughout his career. He shot them all. This includes shots taken in NBA games, NCAA games, and international competitions like the Olympics and World Championships. The average height of a men's basketball court is 10 feet 6 inches (3.2 m), so by making one complete rotation of the ball on each attempt, Jordan was requiring 0.5 rotations on average, which is very efficient. A shot clock was not used in college or high school basketball until 1979, so Jordan was able to play without limitson the length of his career. He made 1,000 shots in a single game against Syracuse during the first week of January 1990. That's almost half of all the shots he took in his career at that time! His highest percentage season was 1991-92 when he made 49% of his attempts. His lowest percentage season was 1995-96 when he made 42% of attempts. Overall, Michael Jordan made 95% of his shots during his career, which is one of the best rates of any player in NBA history.
