Michael Jordan is easily one of the greatest players the league has ever witnessed. Apart from being one of the most impactful players, the Chicago Bulls guard was considered a basketball god. Till today, fans rave about his insane gameplay and achievements.
In his illustrious 15-year career, Jordan had several notable moments. His first championship, his Father’s Day performance, the Shrug, the flu game, his career-high 69 points against the Cavs, his final championship, and the Dream Team are just a few to name.
Over the course of his 1,072-game career, Mike built up an impeccable resume. Michael has 14 All-Star appearances, 11 All-NBA selections, 6 NBA championships, 6 Finals MVPs, and 5 league MVPs under his belt. However, one of the most overlooked achievements of his career would be that he managed to play all games of a season, a jaw-dropping 9 times out of 15 instances.
Michael Jordan had 99 games with more than 45 points and 66 games with less than 15 points
Having a career average of 30.1 points per game, it is pretty evident that “His Airness” was one of the deadliest scorers in league history.
It may come as a surprise to many but according to a recent stat discovered, the Bulls combo-guard had more games (99) when he scored more than 45 points than games (66) when he scored less than 15 points.
Jordan managed to win the scoring titles a whopping 10 times. #23 won it consecutively 7 times from 1986-1987 to 1992-1993 when he announced his first retirement from the game. MJ again won the title back-to-back-to-back from 1995-1996 to 1997-1998.
Michael had a crazy obsession with playing and winning. And this absurd stat is just another proof of his greatness. Clearly, there cannot be any other player quite like Michael Jordan.
