What Michael Jordan stat would make others feel ashamed?

In his vast NBA Career, Michael Jordan has won many awards including NBA titles and NBA Finals and regular season MVP awards. He has even won defensive player of the year, rookie of the year, SI sportsperson of the year, a 10-time NBA scoring champion and a 14-time All-Star.

The fact that MJ did not miss a single game after coming out of his first retirement till his second retirement, is commendable. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has played all regular season games for 5 seasons, whereas Kobe has played 4.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ sensational players, Shaquille O’Neal and Magic Johnson have never in their career, played all the regular season games. The other side of the ‘greatest of all time’ debate is held by LeBron James. However, he has also equalled MJ’s durability for only 1 season, which was the 2018 one.
