The skeptics doubted, but Mr. June knew.

They applauded his individual talents, while questioning his ability to carry a team, but Mr. June knew.

At the start of the 1991 NBA Finals, the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers were favored, but Mr. June knew.

After losing Game 1 of that Finals series, the critics smirked, but Mr. June knew.

Five games later and 31.2 points per game, 11.4 assists per game, 6.6 rebounds per game, 2.8 steals per game and 1.4 blocks per game later, the World knew too.

But Mr. June aka Michael Jordan was just getting warmed up!

6 Time NBA Finals Most Valuable Player

Over his career, Michael Jordan made the NBA Finals his personal playground.  Six times he and the Chicago Bulls made it to the NBA Finals and six times they won.  Each time Jordan was also named NBA Finals Most Valuable Player with plays and stat lines to leave even the most seasoned basketball aficionado amazed.

During his time on the court, Michael Jordan had more defining moments than anyone in NBA history, but it’s what he did in June that truly made him special.
