The legendary former Chicago Bulls star won six NBA championships.

Michael Jordan is unquestionably the GOAT of basketball and he once made it clear which of the six NBA championships he won with the Chicago Bulls was the best.

Jordan, 61, is one of the most famous sports stars in history following his extraordinary career in the NBA, which has seen him widely acclaimed by many as the greatest player ever to grace the sport.

Success on the basketball court saw him become NBA champion on a total of six occasions, all with the Chicago Bulls.

He was also crowned the MVP in the NBA Finals a total of six times, as well as being named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player overall on five instances after playing for the Bulls and the Washington Wizards.

He transcended the sport of basketball and went beyond that, developing a partnership with Nike on his Air Jordan trainers, which has become one of the most recognisable sneaker brands in the world.

He also starred in the 1996 film Space Jam and was the focus of Emmy-winning documentary series The Last Dance in 2020, which appeared on internet streaming service Netflix.

But Jordan’s time on the basketball court was the bedrock of his success and his exploits there, playing more than 1,200 regular season and play-off games in the NBA, holding points-per-game records across the course of his career.

Debate rages as to which of the six Chicago Bulls sides Jordan won the NBA with was the best – but the man himself once settled that debate by revealing which one is his favourite.

And the GOAT believes the 1996 roster was the best, as he outlined his reasoning in an interview that has resurfaced on TikTok which proved that there is no ‘I’ in team and laid down the gauntlet to anyone who feels there is a better side than that.

He said: “People always debated whose the greatest player of all time?

“Dumb question. It should be whose the greatest team of all time.

“You know, there are so many teams to choose from.

“The ’91 Chicago Bulls. The ’92 Bulls, back to back. The 93′ Bulls, first three-peat.

“The ’97 Bulls, even with the flu. The ’98 Bulls, no push off.

“And my favourite, the ’96 Chicago Bulls, 72 wins, tough to beat that.

“You think there’s someone else? Prove it.”
