RECAP

Three games into the 1985-86 season, Jordan went down with a broken bone in his left foot and was sidelined for 64 games before returning in mid-March. Without Jordan for most of the campaign, the Bulls won only 30 games but still managed to snag a playoff berth. In 18 regular-season games, Jordan averaged 22.7 points, 2.9 assists, and 3.6 rebounds, all career-lows. He was voted to the All-Star squad but was unable to play because of the injury.

With a spectacular three-game outburst in the Bulls’ opening-round playoff loss to Boston, Jordan showed that he had completely recovered. In Game 2 he scored a playoff-record 63 points in Chicago’s double-overtime 135-131 loss to the Celtics. He averaged an astonishing 43.7 points in the three-game series.

Michael Jeffrey Jordan needs little to no introduction, Widely considered the best player to ever touch a basketball he is “The G.O.A.T” (Greatest Of All Time) and this Sophomore version card of MJ is no exception. Jordan will Dunk on ANYONE if he has open space around the rim or a driving lane so attempt to aggressively attack the basket whenever possible his Quickness (99) and Speed (98) along with a (99) Driving Dunk attribute should make it easy for Highlight reel worthy Slam Dunks. This version of Jordan has a very low Three point Shot Rating so look for open shots from the Mid-Range area or closer. The Gold level “Fade Ace” Badge is useful for utilizing the fadeaway jumpshot in the Mid to Low post.

Defensively he’s a Lockdown on mostly any player you will come across. Be sure to have Gold level “Perimeter Lockdown Defender” Badge equipped along with “Chasedown Artist”, (Badges can be added under “Manage Team” then Edit Player). 85′-86′ Jordan has a (99) Steal Attribute and (95) Defensive Consistency making him a very reliable Defender. Many times his defensive efforts result in transition fast breaks and successful scoring plays. Don’t forget to attempt to strip the basketball from players driving to the basket (attempt to steal the ball when your opponent stops dribbling and is in the layup animation). Michael Jordan is effective defensively against Shooting Guards , Small Forwards as well as Point Guards.
