Michael Jordan made an instant impact on the Chicago Bulls as soon as he landed in the NBA, becoming the face of the franchise very quickly and showing that he was meant to do great things in the association. It wasn’t an easy journey for MJ, who had to go through big rivals that prevented him from being successful during his early years. 

After that, he unlocked his potential and led the Bulls to the promised land, but nothing changed for Jordan. Once the 90s arrived, Jordan got past the Eastern Conference Finals, finally beating the Detroit Pistons on his way to the championship, apparently ending a rough era for him. 

However, once that decade arrived, things didn’t change and MJ, being the man of the league, had a target on his back. Many teams tried to play physically against him, giving Jordan hard and brutal fouls. 

Recently, NBA Buzz shared a compilation of the hard fouls Jordan received during the 90s, especially from the Pistons and New York Knicks, who tried everything to stop the GOAT. 

The Pistons were the most difficult rivals for Jordan, as they constantly stopped him in the playoffs until he and his teammates got ready to face and beat the ‘Bad Boys’, becoming the rulers of the NBA. 

It’s been a while since those years, but people still get shocked about the challenges he faced to become the greatest player of all time and led his Bulls to the promised land not once, twice, or three times, but six. You can say anything about Jordan, but he never backed down to a challenge. 

Things were really tough early on, but His Airness knew he had to get stronger to finally beat his nemesis and reach the next level in the league.
