In addition, Jordan was able to successfully achieve a three-peat with two completely different squads. Even though the players he was surrounded by were different during his return from retirement in 1994, he was still able to exude his basketball excellence by winning two additional Most Valuable Player awards. Jordan ended his career by receiving a total of five NBA MVP awards and six NBA Finals MVP awards.

As one of Jordan’s most successful accomplishments, he was also able to lead the Bulls to the greatest winning season in NBA history during the 1995-1996 season with a 72–10 record. Even though he had recently come out of retirement, he was still able to produce one of his best seasons, which obviously shows his commitment to the art of basketball.

Even though it took Michael Jordan six years to reach basketball glory with his first NBA championship, it only took him one season to realize that he will be the next great basketball player. He ultimately was able to prepare himself and the players around him for one of the most successful NBA franchises in a ten-year period with the Chicago Bulls.
