He holds the league record for scoring championships with 10, including seven straight. Jordan was the NBA Most Valuable Player five times and Most Valuable Player in the NBA Finals six times. He holds the playoff scoring record of 63 points against the Boston Celtics, set April 20, 1986. Jordan led the Bulls to six NBA championships, three between 1991 and 1993 before retiring for the first time after his father was murdered. He played professional baseball for one season in the Chicago White Sox minor-league system and then returned to the NBA to lead the Bulls to three more championships, including a best ever 72-10 regular season record in 1995-96.
