Michael Jordan's hottest 9-game scoring streaks

[bwink23]

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....

1. 1990 - 43.0ppg on 58.7%FG at 28.0 FGA.
85.9%FT on 10.2 FT's per game.

2. 1990 Playoffs - 40.2ppg on 54.4%FG at 28.8 FGA.
80.5%FT on 9.7 FT's per game.

3. 1989 - 39.9ppg on 62.1%FG at 25.2 FGA.
80.7%FT at 9.8 FT's per game.

4. 1988 - 40.1ppg on 56.7%FG at 26.7 FGA.
84.4%FT at 11.4 FT's per game.

5. 1987 - 40.2ppg on 52.7%FG at 26.3 FGA.
84.6%FT at 14.4 FT's per game.

6. 1987 - 41.0ppg on 50.0%FG at 26.7 FGA.
88.4%FT at 16.2 FT's per game.

7. 1987 - 41.6ppg on 48.3%FG at 32.2 FGA. ...........87.9%FT at 11.9 FT's per game.

8. 1987 - 39.7ppg on 48.6%FG at 31.1 FGA. ..........86.3%FT at 10.6 FT's per game.

The best players always get fouled the most. It ain't Jordan's fault or the refs that people fouled him so much.

Kobe has averaged more FTA per shot attempt than Jordan and Jordan was more of a slasher whereas Kobe is more of a shooter.

[Bladers]

give someone 16 freethrows attempts and see if they don't drop 40 everytime on a ridiculous FG%

Watch and learn Jordan wannabe

MJ averaged only .6 more free throws per game in his career than Kobe. And only .2 more free throws per 36 minutes....ROFL.....

This will get ignored.

Ever heard of context?

14 FTA....16 FTA?

LOL sorry but stern was paying them boys in black and white overtime!
It makes sense because this was when he was trying to establish and cement Jordan as the NBA golden boy, the face of the league. Kinda like wade of today. No one near him but still the whistles blows back to back to back to back.

16 FTA over 9 games? lol

[Sarcastic]

His low game all season was 26 points.

Who do you think? The player who managed to copy Jordan the best.. visually only.... but he missed to copy something important, efficiency/talent....

Kobe Bryant 2003.....best 9-game streak:

44.0ppg on 49.6%FG at 31.1 FG's per game.....12.6 FT's per game....

And this is different from Jordan how?? if you include Kobe's 3-point chucking, it would equate to about 14.8 FT's per game.
