The Bulls were led by 34 year old Michael to the second best record in NBA history with a 69-13 record. They have the top place too with 72-10. Over two season MJ led them to 141 wins and 23 loss record.

MJ was there for every game and led the NBA in scoring both times, shooting 50%. Man, this dude was 34 and schooling these guys still. Jordan will not be topped we was that freaking great.

Air Jordan 12

The 1996/97 season and the Nike Air Jordan 12s that MJ wore during the NBA Finals that year gave us one of the most historic, Jordan-esque performances of all time: the flu game. Suffering a 103-degree temperature against the Utah Jazz, Michael Jordan scored 38 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and dished out 5 assists en route to one of the most memorable sporting performances of all time.

While the black and red colorway was no doubt the most famous of that series, Jordan actually won the title year wearing a pair of black and white “Taxi” Air Jordan 12s.
