Michael Jordan’s time as a point guard during the 1988-89 NBA season

Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan is undoubtedly the greatest shooting guard of all time. However, he excelled at more than just scoring at will. During the 1988-89 season, MJ was moved to the point guard position. And yes, he more than delivered.

The experiment

On March 8, 1989, the Jordan-less Bulls lost 104-95 on the road against the Larry Bird-less Boston Celtics. The Bulls were 34-24 at the time, on pace to finish with a worse record than the previous season.
