Chicago Bulls: 3 least efficient Michael Jordan seasons ever

A very accomplished career of the greatest NBA player of all-time, Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan, did have a few blemishes here and there.

During the lengthy and legendary career of the Chicago Bulls all-time great shooting guard Michael Jordan, it is often forgotten the lesser of the years he registered purely in terms of individual production. MJ had a career in which he played in 15 total seasons (13 of which came in a Bulls uniform). But the last two of those with the Washington Wizards weren’t his greatest.

There were also two different stints that Jordan had in retirement where he would come back after and play in at least two more years. His first retirement from his playing days came after the 1992-93 season (also after the first Bulls three-peat). He tried his hand playing baseball during the 1993-94 NBA season, with the Chicago White Sox minor league organization.

Jordan returned later in the 1994-95 season to play in 17 regular season games for the Bulls and a few in the playoffs before they fell short against Shaquille O’Neal, former MJ teammate Horace Grant, and the Orlando Magic. But Jordan returned to form during the 1995-96 season, which began the second Bulls three-peat during the 1990’s dynasty years.

In his first return from retirement, Jordan played in four seasons with the Bulls (three of which he won a title). The last three seasons he played with the Bulls, Jordan started in every single one of the 82 regular season game.

Then, Jordan had his second retirement during his playing days following the 1997-98 “The Last Dance” season. He sat out for three seasons and returned to play for the Wizards during the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons. After those two seasons, the playing days for Jordan in the NBA officially ended.

With that in mind, here’s a look back at the three most inefficient season during the otherwise illustrious career of MJ with the Bulls and Wizards.
