I wanted to dig into how many rings Michael Jordan has got. This guy is a legend, and everyone talks about his NBA championships, so I figured it was time I got the lowdown myself.
First off, I started by searching around for the basics. Found out that Jordan was picked third overall in the 1984 NBA Draft by the Bulls. Seemed like a big deal, but they didn’t win their first championship until 1991. That’s seven years later! Patience is a virtue, I guess, even for the greats. He is just 28 years old, and the second ring is in 1992 when he was 29, the third in 1993 when he was 31, his fourth in 1996 when he was 33. This guy was on fire during those years, and he got his rings in June every time.
Then I got into the details of how many games he played. Turns out, this dude was a machine. He played in all 82 games in 9 out of his 15 seasons. That’s more than almost any other top player! Only a few guys like John Stockton and Karl Malone have more 82-game seasons. It’s insane to think about the stamina and dedication that takes.
Jordan’s Championships
So, how many rings did he end up with? Six. That’s right, six NBA championships, all with the Chicago Bulls. I learned that he “three-peated” twice, meaning he won three years in a row, then did it again after a short break. His first three-peat was from 1991 to 1993.
I wanted to know more about that first championship in 1991. I found a bit that said “Road to the 1991 NBA Championship: Beat New…” but it got cut off. Still, it gave me a starting point. I’ll have to do some more digging to find out who they beat in the finals that year.
Here’s a quick list of what I found out about Jordan’s rings:
- Total Rings: 6
- Team: Chicago Bulls
- First Championship: 1991 (at age 28)
- Second Championship: 1992 (at age 29)
- Third Championship: 1993 (at age 31)
- Fourth Championship: 1996 (at age 33)
- Three-Peats: Two (1991-1993 and 1996-1998)
This whole deep dive into Jordan’s championship years has been pretty eye-opening. It’s one thing to hear about his success, but it’s another to actually look at the details and realize what he accomplished. I’m definitely going to keep looking into this, especially that first championship run. There’s got to be a story there.
