Michael Jordan stats - 5 untouchable feats of His Airness

#3 Only player to tally 250+ steals, 125+ blocks in the same season

Chicago Bulls basketball star Michael Jordan (45)

In the 1987-88 season, Michael Jordan had had enough of getting snubbed for the MVP award. In the single most dominant season ever put together by any player (in terms of accolades - advanced stats would put Jordan's 88-89 season above this one) in the modern NBA, Jordan averaged 35.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.6 blocks per game.

He won the regular season MVP award, the Defensive Player of the Year award, the All-Star Game MVP, bagged his second successive First-Team All-NBA as well as All-Defensive First Team selections and won the scoring title to go along with the steals title. He led the team in points, assists, steals and blocks despite being a medium-sized guard!

The league had already deprived him of a deserved MVP trophy in the 86-87 season, when he averaged 37 points per game to go along with totals of 200+ steals and 100 blocks through the regular season. He raised the bar on the defensive end this season, and there was little doubt in any voter's mind this time around.
