One of the most incredible Michael Jordan statistics has almost nothing to do with points, rings, or awards.
During Jordan’s six championship seasons, the Bulls played 608 games between the regular season and playoffs.
Michael Jordan played in 602 of them.
He missed SIX games.
All six came during the first three-peat. During the second three-peat, from 1995-96 through 1997-98, Jordan played every single regular-season and playoff game: 304 out of 304.
And then there’s this:
Chicago opened the 1990-91 season by losing three straight games.
After that, Michael Jordan would play 626 more games for the Chicago Bulls without ever losing three consecutive games again.
Think about how absurd that is.
Not three straight losses in a season.
Not three straight losses during a championship run.
Not three straight losses across the rest of his Chicago career.
Regular season. Playoffs. Road trips. Injuries. Back-to-backs. Bad shooting nights. Great opponents. Six trips to the Finals.
The Bulls could lose.
They just couldn’t stay down.
Michael Jordan showed up. And losing was never allowed to become a habit.
There are levels to this.

The funniest part of the “LeBron dominated his era” argument is that Steph Curry existed.
Same number of championships.
Beat LeBron 3 times in the Finals.
Won all 4 with one franchise.
Built an actual dynasty.
Changed the way basketball is played.
And yes, before the predictable response arrives: Steph has only one Finals MVP.
So what?
That means LeBron has more Finals MVPs. It does not magically erase Curry’s four championships, his 3–1 Finals record against LeBron, the Warriors dynasty, or his transformational impact on basketball.
In fact, if your argument for “era dominance” requires explaining away the guy who matched your championships and beat you three times on the biggest stage, your definition of dominance is already doing a lot of work.
And one of LeBron’s four titles still came inside a sealed Disney bubble with no travel, no crowds, and no traditional home-court environment.
So spare me the mythology about LeBron “owning” an era. "Greatness" and "Dominance" are not the same thing.
If another superstar matched your championships, repeatedly beat you in the Finals, built the dynasty you never did, and transformed the sport during your supposed reign, maybe you didn’t dominate the era.
Maybe you just played in it.

Stephen A. Smith explains why Michael Jordan is the GOAT over LeBron James
“I don’t call Lebron James the GOAT. Michael Jordan is the GOAT, there’s nothing to discuss. When people say otherwise, all you’re showing is your age and your ignorance”
“Michael Jordan has 10 scoring titles, nine time All-NBA Defensive Team member, won six titles, six NBA Finals MVPs, and never once allowed a championship series to get to a Game 7. Never once. That was in his 13 years in Chicago, and we’re not counting the two years with the Wizards”
“It was significantly more physical back then. You can’t even touch him today, but back then you could mug him. They created rules to stop him. Watch The Last Dance, when they were talking about Michael Jordan, and John Salley said one of the biggest components of the Jordan Rules was to attack him before he got airborne, because he wasn’t human”
He is risen!!
Happy Easter fam!
Today we celebrate the greatest moment in human history. Jesus conquering death so that we could truly live.
No greater love, no greater gift, no greater reason to celebrate. Wishing you and your families a blessed Easter full of joy! 🙏
