i still don't understand how someone could average 32+ ppg, 8rebs, 8ast, 54fg%, 2.9stl, etc, etc, and not get the MVP award. 1989 was MJ's year. I know the Bulls didn't get 50 wins that year, but he still dominated. as good a season as any player past, present future will ever have. his numbers in 1988-89 season were tremendous. if any player had those numbers today, ESPN would be all over him. I guess they had higher standards back then.

U know what cracks me up?

When these idiots claim that MJ during these days, scored MAINLY on dunks & layups LOL!!

Just like with this game, one can CLEARLY see during these years, his SUPEROR mid range game on display!

What games are these fools looking at? U can CLEARLY see that the MAJORITY of his pts are coming from 12-15 ft jump shots!

MJ throughout the 1st installment of his career, did a masterful job of mixing up his game with a myriad of jumpers, drives, post ups, etc..

@rsx2 Magic Johnson had the same "all around" year. The Lakers had a better record. Magic was awesome that year. I saw him make several game winning shots. I think that was the closest MVP vote ever.

MJ was the best trap splitter I've ever seen...

Balthus23, This is why I play basketball, along with all the ankle breakers. If you can't dunk yet, you need to start training. I highly recommend you to try the program I'm using - | 50 inch vertical [dot] com | - I m 5 7 and I can dunk!

"I actually came in here to see MJ vs Nique...see.I am a fan of the game..and look who is in here spinning his bullshit"

Next time, hold a mirror up to yourself & repeat that comment aloud. Now you know how the rest of us feel about yourself..

I agree. I was just saying that Jordan should have been on the All Defensive team in 1987.

[jaboo82681]

To me 87 was all Magic, he had a great year. Even though MJ had an outstanding year avg 37pts it was all Magic that year, now 89 maybe MJ should've won it and I think 1990 that was Charles Barkley but he got screwed over because everyone liked Magic. I think Magic should've had only 1 and that was 87. MJ should've had at least 7 or 8 MVP's
