Chicago Bulls: 3 least efficient Michael Jordan seasons ever

2. 1994-95

This is an obvious choice to go on the list. The 1994-95 season was one that Jordan played in just 17 regular season games, and the Bulls were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs in just six games by the Magic. Jordan would barely reach the double-digit game mark in the 1995 playoffs, and played in just over two dozen contests total between the regular and postseason.

In this first season back for Jordan after returning from his stint playing baseball with the White Sox organization, he did take a while to get back in his groove. He averaged 26.9 points per game, 6.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.8 steals, and 0.8 blocks. He shot 41.1 percent from the field, 50.0 percent from beyond the arc, and 80.1 percent from the free-throw line.

During the 1994-95 regular season, Jordan actually finished third on the team in box plus/minus rating, fifth in value over replacement player rating, third in win shares per 48 minutes, second in player efficiency rating, and a whopping 11th in true shooting percentage. The playoffs didn’t go a whole lot better for Jordan that season either.

While Jordan did average a team-high 31.5 points per game to go along with 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.3 steals, and 1.4 blocks, in 10 games played during the 1995 playoffs, it wasn’t his most efficient postseason stint. He registered a 8.0 box plus/minus rating (one of the lowest of his career), 1.0 value over replacement player rating, and a subpar .150 win shares per 48 minutes (at least by usual MJ standards).
