Man you should'a seen this kids! Yo, this was straight sick. MJ went up against Magic and went out and busted through with four straight wins to take his first title.

The fabled Lakers couldn't hang with this one man. Don't even try the Pippen statement. Believe me, I was there dude. Pippen could do nothing on his own and he actually kinda sucked, except on defense. But Jordan was just dirty with it. He scored and passed better than Magic himself and averaged over 10 assists and 30 points.

Air Jordan 6

Michael Jordan won his first NBA Championship wearing the Nike Air Jordan 6. Designed by Tinker Hatfield and released in 1991, the sneaker is one of the most iconic in the Air Jordan range. Jordan wore the “Black Infrared” colorway of the Air Jordan 6 as he averaged 31.2 points, 11.4 assists, and 6.6 rebounds per game in the finals.

The sneaker was said to have been inspired by Jordan’s Porsche 911. (It would not be the first Air Jordan to take inspiration from one of MJ’s many luxury sports cars — more on that later.)
