80’s Michael Jordan Leads Bulls to 50 Wins for 1st Time Since 1974 in Stacked East

If you were around to witness the early years of Michael Jordan’s career you understand that the Bulls organization couldn’t even maintain the arena properly, when MJ got there. Players would often complain about the awful flooring that the Bulls used, on top of the Blackhawks ice, and players would often slide & fall on the court. Forget running a winning NBA franchise, the Bulls couldn’t even properly maintain the actual basketball court. The locker room was infested with drugs & players who didn’t care about winning. This was an extraordinarily awful situation. The Bulls hadn’t won 50 games since 1974. Winning 50 games with this franchise was no easy task. The Bulls wins & losses, during their first 50 win season since 1974, were directly dependent on Michael Jordan’s scoring & defense. When Jordan scored: Under 25 points: The Bulls went 2-8 (20% win %) 25-29 points: The Bulls went 7-6 (53.8% win %) 30-34 points: The Bulls went 12-4 (75% win %)
