The next season they went 55-27 that was the franchise’s best
record since 1971-72 season. That season Michael set a career high 69 points
against the Cavs in a 117-113 overtime win. The Bulls made it to the playoffs,
but they were defeated in a seven game series against the Pistons in the
Eastern Conference Finals. After so many lost games in the finals people were
starting to question if Jordan could lead his team to a championship. The very
next season he proved all of the people that were starting to doubt him wrong.
That season the Bulls only lost two games the entire post season leading them
to the franchise’s first NBA title. (NBA.com) To get to that title they beat
the pistons in a blow out in the conference finals. Then in the championship
series they went against Magic Johnson and the Lakers. The Bulls lost he first
game in the series, but came back to win four straight to win the championship.
Michael averaged 31.4ppg, 6.4rpg, and 8.4 apg earning one of the six MVP awards
he would be awarded. After that season he impressed his critics and they had
nothing to say, and they Bulls would go on to defend their title for two
consecutive years. By the three year run, Jordan had reached total stardom and
had a range of fans from young and old. They were amazed at his long hang time
when he jumps in the air for his dunks. That year he had a sports drink
commercial advertising the new drink “Be like Mike”.
