Two of the greatest scorers we've ever seen. Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain are currently 1st and 2nd in PPG average in NBA History and the fadeaway was one of the big reasons behind their success.
While Wilt is often regarded as this physical specimen, who was just overpowering people, he was an incredibly skilled big man. He had a terrific fadeaway jump shot which many of his old rivals consider his best move. Despite standing at 7'2, Chamberlain executed that fade away at will, even hitting it from mid-range. His height made the shot almost unguardable.
Now, we get to Mike. Early on in his career, Jordan was the freak athlete, the NBA hadn't seen in ages, but as the seasons went by, he developed the fadeaway which he is so well known for now. For most of the second half of his career, the fadeaway was Jordan's go-to move and often, it really didn't matter how well he was being guarded, he'd hit it anyway.
