There can be no comparison to studying a player who is widely regarded as the best to ever play the game. It is a bonus when he played the same position as you. Michael Jordan had an edge about him, wanting to be the best that he could be.

Jordan expected the best from himself and from his teammates but he was not willing to ask what he would not do. Bogdanovic has most probably cemented his position as the starting shooting guard and now needs to be a leader on the floor.

While he may be young in terms of NBA experience, he has been a professional for a long time, including representing his country. He showed during the playoffs that he will do what it takes for the team which is a tart of the almost killer mentality that he needs to have.

Jordan was famous for taking game-winners and leading his team to finals victories. Bogdanovic does not have this role on the team. That role is taken by Young but the point guard is showing that he is willing to pass up his glory shot for a better shot if it helps the team. Bogdanovic needs to be ready for that shot each and every night.
