	Michael Jordan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In addition, his 11 total MVP awards (5 regular season and 6 NBA Finals) are by far the most in history (however, it should be noted that the NBA Finals MVP was not awarded until 1969, at the very end of Russell's career).
		Jordan disagreed with this decision and this soured his relationship with Krause for the rest of his career, as he felt that Krause was intentionally trying to lose games in order to gain a better pick in the NBA draft.
		In spite of Jordan's injury, the Bulls still managed to make the playoffs, where they were defeated in three games by the eventual champion Boston Celtics.

	upstatebeat.com: SPORTSBEAT: Time of the Season
		Even if you’re a “purist”, you have to admit that the run for the wild card spot is akin to the pennant races before baseball began playoffs in 1969 and actually restores some of the old school charm of the game.
		Screw March Madness, the NFL playoffs and the college bowl season; this is the pinnacle for true sports enthusiasts.
		It’s the best time of year as the baseball pennant races heat up, NFL and college football seasons kickoff and the NBA hasn’t started playing.
