Chicago Bulls 1990-1991

Michael Jordan's Career as a Chicago Bull

Jordan added the only important item missing from his basketball resume when he guided the Bulls to an NBA Championship in 1990-91. During the regular season, the Bulls won a club-record 61 contests to take the Central Division by 11 games. An All-Star and a member of both the All-NBA First Team and the NBA All-Defensive First Team, Jordan also won the league MVP Award for the second time in his career. With a regular-season scoring average of 31.5 points per game, he picked up his fifth straight scoring title as he topped 40 points in a game 11 times. He averaged 6.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists and ranked third in the league in steals at 2.72 per game.

The Bulls waltzed through the postseason, sweeping the New York Knicks in the opening round, cruising past the Philadelphia 76ers with only one loss in the conference semifinals, and then sweeping the archrival Detroit Pistons in four games in the Eastern Conference Finals. After losing Game 1 of the NBA Finals to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Bulls won the next four contests to claim their first-ever title. Jordan averaged 31.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 8.4 assists during the team's postseason ride and earned the NBA Finals MVP Award.
