Everyone knows Michael Jordan's fadeaway. Almost nobody asks why defenders couldn't reach it.
We break down MJ's signature shot through physics, biomechanics and geometry: the 3D separation envelope, why the rim "changes size" with entry angle, body decoupling, the defender's paradox, and why the move became deadlier as Jordan aged.
Science note: rim and ball dimensions are NBA official specs; the obstacle study figures come from published biomechanics research. Jordan-specific measurements are presented as a proposed analysis, not official tracking data.
