Well, it's no surprise to see Michael Jordan near the top of any scoring list. Arguably the greatest scorer we've ever seen, MJ was a spectacular finisher at the rim and over the years, became a force in the low post. It took Jordan a while to get to the big stage, but once he got there, he was damn near unstoppable, winning six championships from 1991-93 and from 1996-98.

Jordan led both teams in scoring the six times he reached the Finals and he was at his devastating best against the Suns in 1993. Going up against reigning MVP Charles Barkley, Jordan erupted for a Finals record 41 PPG in that series while shooting above 50% from the field, a remarkable achievement. The high point of the series was Game 4, where he dropped 55 points, tying Rick Barry for the 2nd most points scored in a Finals game. He averaged 30 PPG in all but one of those 6 Finals appearances and finished with 1176 points.
