How did Jordan make the all defensive team in 96 let alone the First team?

I think we all remember AI crossing him up and finishing the play. But i think we forget That AI scored 25+ in three differant times playing against the bulls that year

Then there is the fact that in the playoffs he only held one person who averaged 20+(Penny Hardaway with 21.7) but in the playoffs against MJ he averaged 25.5 ppg

Then if i recall pippen actually held Stockton in the finals(Or at sometimes) yet i don't remember one time MJ ever did it himself

So how did he make the all defensive first team this year

    Penny and A.I. played PG that year. MJ was at SG.

    You gotta come up with better stuff to make your point.

    that's because at the time AI played PG, and whoever played PG (depending on matchups) would get abused by the size of the Philly SG. so they couldn't switch Jordan onto AI. And besides it doesn't matter, Bulls won every single time, so stats don't matter.

    Okay, now you're nit-picking. Jordan hardly guarded those guys. They were PG's, Jordan is a SG. We know you hate Jordan but let it go..
