Since switching to point guard for the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan has become statistic conscious. He has started checking with statisticians to see how close he is to a triple-double. He had a string of seven consecutive triple-doubles broken Friday night.
"The guys at the scorer's desk let me know what I need," Jordan said.
So, too, do the Bulls' assistant coaches.
"They keep reminding me when I get back to the huddle," Jordan said. "They say, 'You need three more of this. You need four more of that.' "
Jordan is trying to win over voters for the league's most valuable player award.
"If the way I'm playing now doesn't convince them I'm a complete player, then I guess nothing will," Jordan said.
But but Jordan was the ultimate competitor, he didn't care about stats
