The Bulls picture
The familiar championship and scoring memories often point here first. Even so, one Chicago period need not represent the particular peak you remember.

Michael Jordan: Check the Scorer and the Ball Hawk
Jordan is a scoring pick with a steals question attached. In the 82-0 game, the interesting choice is what you keep in both columns—and what the other card offers back.
A scorer who also took the ball away
| Field | Average | What the label means |
|---|---|---|
| Points | 30.1 PPG | Whole retired regular-season career |
| Steals | 2.3 SPG | Whole retired regular-season career |
That pairing explains the interest in PPG and SPG when Jordan appears. It does not mean the two columns have the same scale, or that every version of him has these averages. Keep the field name beside each number.
Read Bulls and Wizards as different chapters
The final two seasons
Jordan finished his NBA playing career with Washington. A Wizards card calls for that chapter; judging it against a Bulls peak changes the comparison before you have even read the row.
Start a HoopIQ recollection with the team, then the part of his career you recognize. In Classic, read the displayed team and era before checking the line. The draw reference explains why the player name alone does not identify the version.
Two kinds of league-leading seasons
Both boxes count titles, so they share a unit. They give a different view of the scoring-and-takeaways profile than the career averages do. The boxes are not additional PPG and SPG to attach to a draft card.
A steals lead measures credited takeaways, not every part of defense. Read the steals explanation when you want to understand the smaller decimal before weighing the guard choices.
Put the two-column question to the cards
Jordan leads in points. What happens to steals?
If he also leads in SPG, you have two visible advantages to carry into the full comparison. If the alternative leads in SPG, the extra scoring has a stated cost. Read RPG, APG and BPG next; the two-column opening is a starting point, not a substitute for the rest of the row.
The Jordan card looks lower than I expected. Is it still useful?
Compare it with the guard you can actually choose, using the same destination constraints. A less spectacular period can still be the better fit among those options. Comparing it only with a remembered Bulls peak gives you no answer about the current alternative.
The draft comparison stays with this version
Keep the franchise, period and remaining three fields in view while checking PPG and SPG.
Give both guards a fair description: the scoring gain, the steals change and the destination each can use.
