How Michael Jordan's "Breakfast Club" helped the Chicago Bulls win six NBA titles.
As evidenced by his 1985 Rookie of the Year award, Michael Jordan came into the league with amazing skill, unparalleled talent and immediate recognition. But as years two and three rolled by, critics began to voice concerns about his ability as a team player, and to wonder whether he was just a phenomenal scorer who couldn't D up. More questions ensued: Could Jordan take the Bulls beyond a .500 season? Would he ever get his team out of the first round? Would he ever win a championship?
In his fourth year in the league, Jordan picked up the pace, earning his first Defensive Player of the Year award and leading the Bulls to a 50-win season and their first victory in a playoff series since he joined the team. But Jordan and Company still weren't within sniffing distance of the NBA Finals, leaving room for critics to keep sniping at his game.
