50+ Moments and Stats That Prove Michael Jordan is the GOAT

Michael recorded 3,041 total points in the 1986-87 NBA season. To put this in perspective, the second-place highest scorer in the league was Alex English, who recorded 2,345 points in 82 games that year. There was a 696-point disparity between the first and second league scoring leaders that year, which is absolutely insane! And he won the league scoring title again in the following season with 2,868 points.

Do you know what’s even more insane? Michael Jordan’s 1886-87 scoring title is only the third-highest in league history. The first and second spots belong to one man—Wilt Chamberlain—who scored 3,586 in the 1962-63 season and 4,029 in the 1961-62 season.
