The Story Behind Michael Jordan's 1990 Playoffs Run And Cards

Was Michael Jordan's path to greatness always paved with championship gold? Not quite, as the 1990 NBA Playoffs marked a pivotal juncture in his legendary career, a proving ground where individual brilliance collided with the harsh realities of team sport.

Before the rings, before the undisputed reign, there was a hunger. In his first six seasons in the NBA, Michael Jordan had already etched his name among the elite, amassing individual accolades and scoring titles at an unprecedented rate. Yet, the ultimate prize, the NBA Championship, remained elusive. He was a king without a crown, a maestro yearning for the symphony of team success. The 1989-90 season was to be a year where Jordan and the Chicago Bulls tried to take that next step, facing familiar foes and up and coming contenders on their way.
