Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexler… During the 1990s, Michael Jordan had only competitors, no rival worthy of the name.
Six times king of the NBA planet (1991-1993 and 1996-1998), "His Airness" indeed crushed the competition and won all the trophies from the moment when he and "his" Bulls had reached the fullness of their means. , under Phil Jackson.
Only the Houston Rockets embellished their record at this time, during the first retirement of the "Black Jesus" (1994, 1995).
However, Jordan does have a sworn enemy, Isiah Thomas, the former captain of the Pistons, champions in 1989 and 1990. An enmity shared by the two men to this day.
A rivalry that finally saw the ultimate "Bad Boy" bite the dust, like the others.
Even more than the others… As if he had flown too close to the sun.
