It also means that Jordan has as many as 10 scoring titles. It's hard to imagine how Jordan was able to dominate the NBA for ten years in a row in the 20th century. If Jordan were to play in the NBA today, how horrible his efficiency would beHere are the details of every scoring title that Michael Jordan has won in 10 consecutive seasons:

This was the year Jordan made it to the top of the NBA again, but he began to ask for help. At Jordan's request, the team brought in Phil Jackson as head coach and signed Pippen. Pippen is an efficient two-way wing player, and Jordan has partnered with Pippen, so Jordan can play freely, and Jordan has gone on a crazy offensive offensive this season, leading the Bulls to a 55-win record. It seems that Jordan can get through the playoffs, but the Bad Boys Pistons once again blocked the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals, which is the third consecutive playoff matchup between the Bulls and Pistons, and was eliminated by the Pistons with a 19-point lead in the tiebreaker.

After this season, NBA coaches began to understand that there is no so-called theory to defend Jordan, because it is ineffective at all. In the end, the Bulls went on a rampage in the fourth quarter of Game 6, 33-14 in a single quarter, defending the championship, and Jordan once again lifted the championship and FMVP trophy.

In the entire 6 games of the Finals, Jordan's stats: 358 points, 48 rebounds, 65 assists, 17 steals and 52 percent shooting6%, however, the true shooting percentage (TS%) is an extremely unbeatable 617%, looking at the entire NBA league, no one can surpass.
