All-Time
Leading Scorer
He holds the record for
most career scoring titles with eight, including 7 straight,
also a record. He scores so many points that it is almost
unfair to compare him with other players. On November 6, 1996
he scored 50 points for the 36th time in his career! He
eclipsed the 25,000 career points total, and he continues to
dominate in that statistical category. He was the tenth player
to score that many points, accomplishing the feat against San
Antonio on November 30, 1996, with his 35th point of the game.
On January 4, 2001 he scored his 30,000 career point, becoming
the fourth player in NBA history to reach the 30,000 point
milestone. He, now with 30,014 points, joined Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
(38,387), Karl Malone (33,669), and Wilt Chamberlain (31,419)
in the 30,000+ club. Oh yeah, he's also the Bull's All-Time
leading scorer, no surprise there. His career scoring average
of around 32 ppg is the best of all-time...even better than
Wilt and him never scored 100 points in a game. On 12/30/97 he
broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record of scoring in double digits
in 788 consecutive games. He will undoubtedly bury this
record, as there is no end in sight to his double-digit
habits. He ended the season with 840 consecutive games.

Chicago
Bulls Superstar
He is the Chicago Bulls superstar who beat Charles Barkley and
Akeem Olajuwon for Rookie of the Year Honors in 1985.
Perhaps, he is the greatest player to ever play the
game....he even has six championship rings to back up his
claim, including 3 straight from 1991-1993, and 3 more in
1996-1998. He was named the NBA Finals MVP in all of those
titles. He's won them all with Scottie Pippen. In 1991,
Jordan's Bulls finally overcame the greatest impediment to
their team's success, Isiah Thomas' Detroit Pistons, who had
regularly eliminated the Bulls from the playoffs. In 1993 he
averaged 41.0 ppg in the finals, for a record. This 6-6
superstar guard is a perennial NBA first teamer (10 times
from 1987-1993 and 1996 and again as a unanimous selection
in 1997 and 1998). He was once again an All-NBA First Team
member in 1996 after making his return from baseball. You
can always pencil him in as the starting guard for the
all-star game (13 appearances in 1985 and from 1987-1993,
1997-1998 and again in 2002). He started for the ninth time
in 1997, as the first player EVER to receive more that 2
million votes. In the 1997 Game he became the first player
ever to record a triple double in the all-star game with 14
points, 11 rebounds and 11 asssists. He was not named MVP
that year (Glen Rice received that honor), but he did win
the Game's MVP award in 1988 after scoring 40 points and
again in 1996. He was once again elected to start (10th time
in 12 appearances) in 1998 after leading the eastern
conference in voting. After coming out of retirement, he was
elected to start again for the eastern all-stars in
2002.
