There are no examples of MJ shooting below today's standard when he had today's volumes, and this includes seasons or series
from the regular line..
Regular line is all that matters because we're measuring how MJ would do in today's game, which uses the regular line - the "long two" distance is irrelevant and that's why you don't hear me reference Jordan's better volume or efficiency during the "shortened line" years. I've only ever referenced the his regular line percentages and always state this as well.
So again, Jordan had better offensive rebounds, BPG, SPG, turnover rate, FT %, jumpshooting, scoring, defense, clutch, off-ball, post, chemistry, teammate development.. that's basically everything..
(edit: there is one season or series from regular line where MJ shot below today's standard from three and it was the 90' ECF).

True shooting in the Finals
96' BULLS.................. 50.9
96' JORDAN............... 53.8
13' HEAT..................... 54.5
13' LEBRON............... 52.9
The Heat didn't win with Lebron on the floor in the 13' Finals (zero plus/minus and negative net rating for Lebron in the series)
Btw, Pippen had 42.9 TS in the 96' Finals and 46.9 in the 93' Finals (0% on threes)..
With Pippen at 15.7 on 34% for the 96' Finals, this was an example of Jordan beating a top 5 SRS opponent with weak scoring &: efficiency from a sidekick (carry-job vs top team), which Lebron has never done.. Furthermore, Jordan defeated max defensive attention (carried scoring load on championship level), which Lebron has also never accomplished.
