I know this is off the topic, but the player that MJ aspired to emulate was David "Skywalker" Thompson, who probably would be in the conversation if he would have been able to avoid the pitfalls of fame and fortune.
People forget just how ridiculously athletic he was. Both guys were from North Carolina and I don't think it's a stretch at all to say Jordan played like he did because he was trying to mirror Thompson.
Dr. J was just so long and soared through the air. Thompson was like 3 inches shorter, but just an incredibly explosive leaper.
