Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan was known for his scoring prowess, which helped him win the league’s scoring title in 10 seasons. Jordan leads the list of most 30-point games in the NBA with 562 and is second only to legendary Wilt Chamberlain in 50-point and 40-point games. However, MJ was a different beast in playoffs, and social media is praising him as the GOAT.
The 61-year-old NBA legend played six NBA Finals, winning all of them, and was named the Finals MVP six times. While Chamberlain dominates the list of most 50-point games in the regular season with 118 games, followed by Jordan’s 31 games, the Bulls legend has the most 50-point games in playoffs.
In his 15-season career, the five-time NBA MVP averaged a record 30.1 points, with a career-high of 37.1 points per game in the 1986-87 regular season. In his 13 playoff appearances, Jordan led the Bulls to six NBA Finals and never lost a single series.
