Chicago Bulls: 3 players that could not get past Michael Jordan

2. Andrew Lang, Center

Another career journeyman in the NBA for the most part, big man Andrew Lang also went winless in his career against Jordan. While Lang had a little more than half as many losses as Douglas in his career against Jordan, he still very much hit a road block against the Bulls all-time great shooting guard. Lang went 0-17 in his career against Jordan.

All 17 of those meetings between Lang and Jordan occurred in the regular season too. The role that Lang held often against Jordan and the Bulls wasn’t a huge one. He rarely started in those games and averaged around five points per game, four rebounds, and one assist. Meanwhile, Jordan averaged more than 30 points per game, six rebounds, five assists, and two steals, all while shooting around 53 percent from the field, 85 percent from the charity stripe, and 46 percent from beyond the arc.

Although, Lang was a solid defensive against Jordan and the Bulls mostly when coming off the bench. He did average more than three defensive rebounds per game, to go along with 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks in somewhat limited playing time.

Lang was still a serviceable big man in the NBA for a good while. The towering 6-foot-11 and 245 pound center played for seven different teams in his rather long career, including one year with the Bulls. In more than 700 career regular season games played, Lang averaged 6.0 points per game, 4.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 0.5 steals. The best years of his career came with three seasons in an Atlanta Hawks uniform.
