The King Of The Playoffs

Image
As Jordan's career of dominance raged on, his impact on the league was mesmerizing. As the 1990-1991 season came to a close, Jordan had led the team to 61 win season, a franchise record at the time. The Bulls defeated the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers in the opening two rounds of the playoffs. They advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals where their rival, the Detroit Pistons, awaited them. However, this time the Bulls beat the Pistons in a four-game sweep. The Bulls advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history to face the Los Angeles Lakers. The Bulls won the series four games to one and compiled a 15–2 playoff record along the way. Jordan had finally brought home a championship to the city of Chicago, but his reign wasn't over yet. The next two consecutive seasons, the Bulls bullied the league and tacked on another two championships to their resume. Jordan and the Bulls had become the third team all-time to accomplish a three-peat, three c...

League Introduction

Jordans League Introduction: Michael Jordan was nothing short of being a legend in the sport of basketball. Over his 15 year tenure in the league, Jordan accumulated 6 NBA championships, 6 Finals MVP awards, 5 league MVP awards, 10 scoring titles, ten All-NBA First Team designations, nine All-Defensive First Team honors, fourteen NBA All-Star Game selections, and three All-Star Game MVP Awards. Jordan's number, 23, and his brand are quite literally the most recognizable symbols on the planet. You may be surprised by Jordan's sheer number of accolades, but his dominance goes beyond hardware. Michael had a fabulous first season, earning the NBA Rookie of the Year Award. He averaged 28.2 PPG,  6.5 RPG, and 5.9 APG. He also was selected to the All-NBA Second Team. Perhaps more important, the Bulls improved to win 11 more games than in the season prior to his arrival and made it to the playoffs. Jordan averaged 29.3 ppg in the first-round series, but sadly the Bulls lost in four gam...

Why was Jordan so great?

Image
Why was Jordan so great though? How did North Carolina's 6 foot 6 guard, selected third overall, come to dominate a league full of overwhelmingly big men? Jordan's scoring ability and volume was uncanny, and his efficiency on the court was better than any player in history.  Over his career, he averaged 30.2 pace-adjusted points per 36 minutes, easily the most of any qualified player since 1977.   But he also had a career true shooting percentage of 56.9 percent, much higher than the league average of 53.5 percent over the years of his career.  What's even more impressive is the lack of three-pointers Jordan attempted over his career. Only 7.2 percent of Jordan’s career field-goal attempts were threes, meaning he was doing the vast majority of his work inside the arc.  Jordan was able to post an incredible 51 percent field goal percentage, despite his tough shot selections. His percentage is notably higher than some other NBA legends, including Kobe Bryant (48 p...
