Season Averages: 31.5 Points, 6 Rebounds, 5.5 Assists, 2.7 Steals, 1 Block

After years of being maligned for putting up numbers but not getting it done, MJ finally broke through to win his 1st title in 1991. Jordan was his usual efficient self, shooting almost 54% from the field en route to yet another scoring title. He led the Bulls to the Number 1 seed in the East for the 1st time in Franchise history as the team won 61 games. The highlight of the season was a monstrous performance against the playoff-bound Warriors. Jordan dropped 42 Points to go along with 14 Rebounds, 7 Assists, and 3 Steals.

Jordan and the Bulls dominated in the playoffs. After sweeping the Knicks in Round 1, they breezed past Charles Barkley and the Sixers in 5 games to set up a showdown with the Pistons. The Bulls smoked the Pistons to end it in a sweep and beat the Los Angeles Lakers in 5 games to win their 1st title and finish the post-season 15-2.

While this was an incredible season and many consider it to be the best, it just about gets beat by what's coming up next.
