How many regular season games did Michael Jordan play for the Chicago Bulls?

The story behind the answer

Michael Jordan played 930 regular-season games for the Chicago Bulls.

Jordan spent the great majority of his NBA career in Chicago, appearing for the Bulls from 1984–85 through 1992–93, again in 1994–95, and throughout the 1995–96, 1996–97, and 1997–98 seasons. His first retirement and later return explain why his Bulls total is lower than the number of games in a typical uninterrupted 14-season career.

In those 930 games, Jordan averaged 31.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game for Chicago. He won six NBA championships, five regular-season MVP awards, and six Finals MVP awards as a Bull. He also led the league in scoring in 10 seasons, including all seven full seasons from 1986–87 through 1992–93.

The common confusion is with Jordan’s total NBA regular-season appearances: he played 1,072 games when his two seasons with the Washington Wizards are included. The figure 930 applies specifically to his Chicago Bulls regular-season career, excluding playoffs and his Washington years.
