Michael Jordan's legendary NBA Finals performances with the Bulls | NBA Highlights on ESPN

Take a trip down memory lane and watch the best moments from all six of Michael Jordan’s NBA Finals appearances with the Chicago Bulls. In 1991, MJ and the Bulls took down Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers to win the franchise’s first NBA championship. (1:43) Chicago defended its title in 1992 by defeating the Portland Trail Blazers in a series that featured Jordan’s famous “Shrug Game.” (3:20) The Bulls completed their first three-peat with a victory over Charles Barkley and the Phoenix Suns in 1993.

After Jordan’s return from baseball, (5:07) the 1996 Bulls won a then record 72 regular-season games and topped the Seattle SuperSonics in the Finals. (6:41) MJ’s “Flu Game” in 1997 helped the Bulls to victory over the Utah Jazz, and in the dynasty's (8:33) Last Dance in 1998, Chicago completed its second three-peat by defeating Karl Malone, John Stockton and the Utah Jazz yet again.

The Move, The Shrug, The Flu Game, The Last Shot. So many iconic, legendary moments...

[billbill-row]

6 finals, 6 wins, 6 times MVP, two three peats. None did better. MJ’s simply the Best, the GOAT.

[domcagney]

It's not just the amount of rings, it's winning 3 straight...twice. Undefeated in those finals- no games 7's, 6 finals MVPs, 5 league MVPs, 10x scoring champ, DPOY, ROTY, All-Star MVPs...etc. But it's not just rings, it's not just accolades, it's not just stats...it's a combination of all 3 and who compiles the most flawless, dominant resume...unequivocally, that's Jordan

Can anyone recall a moment in Jordan’s career where he let you down or didn’t show up for the moment?? Anything?? Even in losses he gave you his all.

[JusVibe_]

His mental strength is supreme🤦🏽‍♂️ many admire his physical game but his mental game is what made him legendary

[CollectThaBucks]

As someone who wasn’t alive at the time, listening to the development is incredible.

*(1991)* “People question if Michael Jordan can lead a team to a championship.”

*(1998)* “He no longer needs any more accomplishments to make his case as the greatest player in NBA History.”
