Jordan was the MVP of all six Bulls' title teams. And remember, Jordan played against much tougher competition. Charles Barkley's Suns, Karl Malone's Jazz, Clyde Drexler's Trail Blazers, Magic Johnson's Lakers and Shawn Kemp's Sonics, who won 64 games that season, were better than the Los Angeles' recent Finals opponents — Indiana, Philadelphia and New Jersey. Detroit is the first team to give this group of Lakers a serious challenge.
