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. :wtf:

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

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


Honorable Mentions.....

1. 1987 - 38.6ppg, 48.5%FG.
2. 1987 - 38.0ppg, 52.2%FG.
3. 1988 - 39.3ppg on 55.9%FG.
4. 1988 - 38.0ppg on 54.7%FG.
5. 1989(playoffs) - 39.1ppg on 53.8%FG.
6. 1993(playoffs) - 39.3ppg on 49.8%FG......ALL 9 consecutive game streaks.....:pimp:

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%

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

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

[bwink23]

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.

no no no.... i repeat since you never refuted. give someone 16 freethrows attempts a game and see if they don't drop 40 everytime on a ridiculous FG%.

4 more FTs puts kobe at 52-53% shooting in that streak, plays adds 3 more points to the average.

Funny how the only way people can discredit Kobe is by saying he's not as good as Jordan. Well you could do that with just about every player in NBA history. Doesn't change the fact that he's one of the 10 greatest players ever.

Kobe's FG% doesn't get better when he's taking that many shots, no matter how many FT's you give him.....FACT...:pimp:

Only because Kobe stans love to diminish Jordan's accomplishments to make a case for Kobe. :facepalm

Just by looking at Kobe's 2005-2006 season....he had a 7-game streak where he took on average 15.9 FT's per game, to go with 25.4 FG's per game....he shot 44.3%FG over those 7 games.

His overall average was 37.3ppg per game.....not quite 40 on ridiculous FG% now is it??? :hammerhead: :hammerhead:

where's lebron?

I dont think Lebron has played anywhere near Kobes & Jordans 1073 games.... :confusedshrug: Until then, be patient... You know, its only a compliment to bring in a 26-27 year old in this conversation already... that guy must be good...

That's far from a given, especially for Kobe...here's a 6-game stretch in 2005 where he averaged 15.5 FT's per game....

34.7ppg on 40.2%FG at 24.8 FG's per game....:confusedshrug:

the only thing Kobe lacks in this comparison is League MVP's..

everything else is very similar...especially considering that picture uses MJ's whole career...when Kobe is still playing...

Kobe could very easily win another Title/FMVP..and Kobe would still be the same age as MJ was when he only had 4 titles..

:facepalm :no:

That was in a time where Big Men could Stand in the Paint for Longer, you Got Hammered Tryin To Penetrate and To Get By Your Opponents there was Handchecking.

So it was much harder to penetrate then than today.

Jordan is a Product of Having the Best Quick 1 Step in All Guards History and Then Getting Fouled After Penetrating like a Panther. He was the GOAT Rim Attacker

maybe this is quite irrelevant, but I believed they photoshopped mike's head to a bulls jersey,

that MJ portrait came from his wizards days..

If OP refuses to accept psychological help from a professional I think he should at least do some self reflection/evaluation.

Is this really what he wants to do with his life?:confusedshrug:

First off, kobe never a slasher like MJ. He is more like a shooter. MJ perhap the best slasher ever plus he knows how to get contact with the defender to earn the ft. Well, it is MJ fault that he makes you think that is easy :lol

His low game all season was 26 points.
His scoring average was heavily inflated due to pace. 50 per game on 48.5 min would translate to 29-33ppg on 36min on today's game. Still impressive though. The stamina needed to put that much points. :biggums:
