10. Michael Jordan’s First Championship

Though Jordan is known as the best of all-time, it took him seven years to win his first NBA title.  It was 1991 and Jordan had to take on all his biggest adversaries to get to the big game.  The Chicago Bulls defeated the New York Knicks, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Detroit Pistons “Bad Boys” before facing the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals.  The Bulls beat the Lakers in 5 games and Jordan averaged 31.2 points, 11.4 assists, 6.6 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game in the series.
