Michael Jordan was making a run at his first NBA Championship, but the Lakers, Celtics and Pistons weren't giving up without a fight.. Moreover, the 1990-91 NBA season would be the year that Michael Jordan began to take over as the face of the NBA as he and the Chicago Bulls picked up their first championship after defeating Magic Johnson and the Lakers 4-1 in the NBA Finals.

For the fifth year in a row, Jordan led the NBA in scoring with 31.5 points per game and was named an All-Star, MVP, and Finals MVP. It was a magical year for Jordan and as a result, Sports Illustrated honored him with their "Sportsman of the Year" award, which was surprisingly the only time he received the award considering how dominant he was in the 1990s.
