Regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, Michael Jordan left his mark in history during his illustrious 15-season career with the Chicago Bulls and Washington Bullets.
His prowess guided the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships (1991-1993, 1996-1998), establishing the team as one of the NBA’s most dominant dynasties.
Jordan’s exceptional record in the NBA Finals was immense, with an unbeaten streak in his six appearances, no series extending to Game 7, and earning the NBA Finals MVP title every time.
Throughout Jordan’s career, he scored 28 triple-doubles, a relatively uncommon accomplishment in the NBA that required a single player to record at least ten points, ten rebounds, and ten assists.
Triple-doubles were scarce during Jordan’s time, unlike the present, where the heightened offensive dominance of the league allows players to achieve triple-doubles more quickly.
