Season Averages: 30.1 Points, 6.4 Rebounds, 6.1 Assists, 2.3 Steals

With the monkey off his back after winning his 1st NBA title in 1991, Jordan continued his dominance over the rest of the league the following year. He again topped 30 Points a game to lead the league and shot better than 50% from the field. The 6.1 Assists was the highest among all of his MVP seasons. The Bulls won a then-franchise record 67 games and were the Number 1 seed.

Come playoff time, Jordan was at his ruthless best. Whether it was dropping 56 on the Heat in Round 1 or 42 in Game 7 against the Knicks in the semifinals. After getting past the Cavs in 6 games, the Bulls set up a Finals matchup with the Blazers. There was talk of Clyde Drexler being a potential rival to Jordan but MJ put that to rest pretty quickly. He scored 35 points in just the 1st half of Game 1 to set a Finals record and did the now famous shrug after drilling his NBA record 6th 3 pointer of the half. The Bulls eventually won the series in 6 games. The reason this season doesn't go higher up is the drop in Points and efficiency compared to the 2 up ahead.
