Michael Jordan's 1987-88 season, only the fourth of his career, is arguably the greatest season by any player in NBA history and this was just offensively. As you can he led the league in steals and recorded 1.6 blocks per game but what was more remarkable was that he was named the league's Defensive Player of the Year. He is one of only two players (other being Hakeem Olajuwon) to win the NBA MVP and the DPOY Award in the same season.

His PER (31.71), for this season, is the best ever since the league's merger with the ABA. He led the league in as many as 18 categories. He almost tripled the points scored by the second-leading points scorer on his team and his points average was almost 5 points more than the second-best in the league.
Now, swallow this, with such a team he won 50 wins. Yes, 50 WINS!
