Sunday marked the finale of the 10-part ESPN documentary The Last Dance focusing on Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls and their 1997-98 season. The documentary not only covered Jordan’s career with the Bulls from draft to the 1998 Finals but also his childhood and time at North Carolina.
During his time with the Bulls, one of his most common victims were the Charlotte Hornets. In 37 games against Charlotte, Jordan averaged 32.1 points per game on 53.0% shooting from the field.
Memorably featured in the documentary, Jordan responded to a BJ Armstrong game-winner in the second round of the 97-98 Eastern Conference second round by beating the Hornets the next two games to eliminate them.
Given all that context, here’s a look at Jordan’s five best games against the Charlotte Hornets.
