Michael Jordan was simply amazing. 

No question about that. 

He could score like no tomorrow. Provide blanket defense. Shoot for high averages. Slam it home over opponents from far distances. Make big shots. Block. Steal. You name it. 

Without question, Jordan's best years were on the Chicago Bulls. But how would they rank from worst to first if they were collectively evaluated? 

Even though his "worst" seasons were still great, this article will attempt to rank his seasons as a Bull. 

Regular and postseason performances will be considered in making the rankings. 

13: 1995

Michael Jordan came out of his 19-month retirement to help aide the Chicago Bulls to playoff glory.

However, Jordan showed signs of rust and could not shake that off come playoff time, where the Bulls lost to Shaq and the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Michael played 17 regular season games. He averaged 26.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists. His 41.1 field goal percentage was the lowest of his entire career, but he did have the legendary 55-point game against the New York Knicks.

In 10 playoff games, MJ had 31.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists. 

12: 1985-1986

His Airness played only 18 games due to a severe broken foot.

Instead of sitting out that season, Jordan pushed management and the coaches to play for a playoff spot.

He averaged 22.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists on 45.7 percent shooting.

In three playoff games against the mighty Boston Celtics, Michael averaged an astounding 43.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists on 50.5 percent shooting.

He also dropped 63 points in Game 2, the highest total in playoff history.

11: 1984-1985

Being the third player drafted in 1984, much was riding on Michael to turn the Chicago Bulls around.

Boy, did he produce immediately.

Having one of the most dominant rookie seasons ever, MJ averaged 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists a night, propelling him over Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon for the Rookie of the Year Award.

Jordan's player efficiency rating was 25.8, the NBA's second best that year. He also had 14 win shares.

In four playoff games, MJ averaged 29.3 points, 5.8 boards and a career playoff high 8.5 assists.

10: 1986-1987

In MJ's third season, he was determined to come back from his horrible foot injury, and he made a tsunami of a comeback.

His Airness scored a career-high 37.1 points a night, the sixth-highest average in NBA history. Only Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor had higher averages.

Michael also nabbed 5.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.9 steals while shooting 48.2 percent, helping him gain his first All-NBA first team selection. 

His player efficiency rating was 31.7—his career high. He led the league in win shares with 16.9.

While his Bulls were swept by the Boston Celtics, Mike dished out 35.7 points, seven boards and six assists. However, he shot a playoff low 41.7 percent from the field.

9: 1997-1998

This is where it gets a bit sticky with ranking Michael's seasons.

Even though MJ secured a championship and was league MVP, it was not his best season.

Jordan dropped 28.7 points, 5.8 boards and 3.5 assists while shooting 46.5 percent a night during the regular season. However, his player efficiency rating was fourth highest in the league (25.2) and he had 15.8 win shares, the second lowest during his Chicago tenure.

8: 1996-1997

No. 23 had an extremely solid season during the 1996-1997 campaign.

Michael had a stellar playoffs. In 19 contests, His Airness scored 31.1 points, collect 7.9 rebounds and dish out 4.8 assists while draining 45.6 percent of his jumpers.

His most memorable game came in Game 5 of the NBA Finals while combating the flu. He exploded for 38 points, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and a block. This performance gave Chicago a big 3-2 lead in the finals, which the Bulls won the following game.

7: 1995-1996

Having a bitter taste in his mouth after his 1995 playoff run ended roughly, MJ vowed he would work harder to improve himself.

Jordan worked out all summer and gained 18 pounds of muscle to his frame because he realized he needs to be more physical.

He also poured over his fade away jumper so he wouldn't have to slash his way to the hoop all the time.

No. 23 averaged 30.4 points, 6.6 boards and 4.3 assists while hitting 49.5 percent of his shots.

Jordan was well deserving of the MVP Award, leading the league in player efficiency (29.4) and win shares (20.4) as he led the Bulls to a record 72 wins. He also was ninth in defensive rating (99.6).

MJ also lit up playoff foes. He scored 30.7 points, grabbed 4.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists while shooting 45.9 percent.

6: 1991-1992

5: 1992-1993

In 1992-1993, everyone was gunning for the two-time defending champions.

So, MJ had to raise to the occasion once again, playing one of the best seasons ever without winning the MVP Award.

Michael led the league in scoring (32.6 points) and steals (2.8). He also pulled down 6.7 rebounds and distributed 5.5 assists. His player efficiency (29.7) and win shares (17.2) were league bests.

In 19 playoffs games, His Airness drilled 35.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and six assists while shooting 47.5 percent.

This season, Michael won his first MVP Award, made All-NBA first team and his first NBA All-Defensive first team and claimed his only Defensive Player of the Year Award with the sixth-best defensive rating (101.5).

His 31.7 player efficiency was a career high and sixth best all time. He also led the NBA in win shares with 21.2, another career high.

Air Jordan led the Bulls to a first-round victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers but lost to the Detroit Pistons in the conference semifinals.

No. 23 didn't disappoint, though. In 10 games, he averaged 36.3 points, 7.1 boards and 4.7 assists on 53.1 percent shooting.

2: 1989-1990

No. 23 had a legendary 1989-1990, but that was not good enough to bring home a title.

In the regular season, Jordan methodically tore NBA players apart. He won another scoring title with 33.6 points a night on 51.6 percent shooting.

He also averaged 6.9 boards, 6.3 assists and an NBA leading 2.8 steals.

Jordan's player efficiency (31.2) and win shares (l9.0) led the league.

The regular season MVP led the league in player efficiency (31.6) and win shares (20.3).

The playoffs were even better, as No. 23 averaged 31.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game.

His 52.4 percent shooting was his second-best playoff showing.

The above video shows MJ doing some nifty layup through Los Angeles Lakers defenders during the finals. Even the hyper-competitive Magic Johnson had to give him some love.
