1988-89
 1988-89:
In 1988-89 Jordan turned in possibly the best all-around performance of
his career. The league's leading scorer once again at 32.5 points per
game, he finished 10th in the NBA in assists with a career-high 8.0 per
outing and also set a career high by pulling down 8.0 rebounds per contest.
He ranked third in the league in steals at 2.89 per game. On January 25
he scored the 10,000th point of his career. Named to the East All-Star
Team for the fifth straight year, Jordan scored 28 points in 33 minutes
of action. His postseason honors included membership on the All-NBA First
Team and the NBA All-Defensive First Team and selection as Player of the
Year by The Sporting News. The Bulls slipped a bit in the regular season,
posting a 47-35 record, 3 fewer wins than the season before. But after
squeezing by the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games in the opening round
of the playoffs, the Bulls ousted the New York Knicks in the conference
semifinals and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for only the
third time in team history. They fell to the Detroit Pistons in six games.
Jordan averaged 34.8 points in 17 postseason games. In the pivotal Game
5 of Chicago's first-round series against Cleveland, Jordan hit a memorable
buzzer-beating jumper over Craig Ehlo to bring the Bulls from a 100-99
deficit to a 101-100 victory.
| HIGHLIGHTS |
- Hits THE SHOT in Game 5 of the playoffs against
Cleveland.
- Wins another scoring title.
- Nearly averages a triple-double for the season.
