Most recently, one of Michael Jordan's game-used Bulls uniforms got auctioned off for a record-setting price that looks just silly when compared to his rookie salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Michael Jordan turned into an instant star in Chicago <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Michael Jordan&#039;s HISTORIC Bulls Mixtape | The Jordan Vault\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SUo8skGvl-Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/michael-jordan-played-for-another-championship-coach-besides-phil-jackson\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Michael Jordan Played For Another Championship Coach Besides Phil Jackson (opens in a new tab)\">Michael Jordan Played For Another Championship Coach Besides Phil Jackson<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though he didn't go No. 1 overall in the 1984 NBA draft, Michael Jordan wasted no time proving he should have. As a rookie, the former University of North Carolina star averaged 28.2 points while suiting up for every game. After missing most of his second season due to a broken foot, he returned for the 1986-87 season and went on an unprecedented run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the next seven seasons, Jordan led the NBA in scoring. In an era where teams still cared about playing defense, the high-flying dunker managed to average better than 30 points per game every year. Of course, his <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/michael-jordan-and-kobe-bryant-made-phil-jackson-the-nbas-most-overrated-coach\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"individual brilliance (opens in a new tab)\">individual brilliance<\/a> never overshadowed his deep desire to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And boy did the Bulls do just that. Before he retired to play baseball, His Airness led Chicago to three consecutive NBA titles.

He actually never surpassed $4 million in annual salary until much later in his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, the greatest player in NBA history only broke the bank in his final two years with the Bulls.
