Just thought i'd put together all the different streaks of averaging
40 or more points a game over a
9-game stretch through Jordan's career....this was inspired by his career high of 9 straight 40-point games. MJ has over 8 such streaks of averaging 40(rounded up) including the playoffs...i'm ranking them from Best to Worst....
