The 20 Best Individual Postseason Performances in NBA History

12. Michael Jordan, 1996

Win Shares: 4.68

Three years after winning his third ring, Jordan was back at it in the '96 playoffs, where his Bulls would eventually win their fourth ring in six seasons. It goes without saying that Jordan was named Finals MVP, but how did he get to that point?

Over the course of 18 games (yes, that's all it took), the G.O.A.T. put up 30.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists while playing an average of 40.7 minutes. Jordan's 3.4 offensive win shares and .306 win shares per 48 would be the second-best playoff averages of his long and historic career.
