Everybody is excited with the release of ESPN's special 10-part documentary of “The Last Dance”, which shows exclusive footage of the Chicago Bulls' 1997-98 season. As the main man in Chicago, the documentary also sheds the spotlight on Michael Jordan's career.

Throughout his legendary career, Jordan put up some gaudy and eye-popping stat-lines that would make you look twice onto the stat sheet. As “The Last Dance” premier nears, let's take a look back at some the most intriguing stat lines of His Airness' career.

40 at 40

Most NBA fans would rather forget Michael Jordan's final two seasons in the NBA. For those who may have forgotten, Jordan played an extra couple of seasons in the early 2000's with the Washington Wizards.

On February 17, 2003, in his final NBA season, Jordan turned 40. A few days later, he dropped 43 points in 43 minutes against eventual NBA Finalist New Jersey Nets in a regular season game. He shot 18-of-30 from the field and made all his seven attempts at the foul line.

With that game, Jordan became the only 40-year old to eclipse the 40-point mark in the NBA. Those last two seasons with the Wizards may have been forgetful. Nonetheless, he still provided us with classic games such as this one.

63 against the Celtics

Michael Jordan sat out most of the 1985-86 season due to a broken foot. However, he did return just in time for the postseason despite a 30-52 record from the Bulls.

MJ faced a litmus test early in his career and took on one of the greatest teams of all time in the 1986 Celtics, which eventually won the title that year. Despite coming off a serious injury for most of the season, Jordan didn't seem to be too fazed going up against the veteran Celtics. He dropped 49 points in Game 1 in a 19-point Bulls lost.

In Game 2, however, Jordan did even better. In fact, he delivered the greatest individual scoring performance ever in the playoffs. Jordan netted 63 points, a feat that has yet to be broken to this day, in the double-overtime thriller. He made 22 shots out of the whopping 41 he took to give the Bulls a fighting chance against the powerhouse Celtics. He also went 19-of-21 from the charity stripe as he gave the Celtics defenders all they can handle for that night.

The Bulls wound up losing in double overtime and eventually got swept. Nonetheless, this game marked Jordan's official coming out party as a legitimate superstar in the NBA.

Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals

Michael Jordan torched the Portland Trail Blazers in the first half of Game 1 of the 1992 NBA Finals. Not known for his three-point shooting, Jordan drained six triples in the opening half of the Finals. Many would remember his iconic shrug after he knocked down his sixth three. Jordan ended the first half with 35 points, which still stands as the best scoring half in an NBA Finals game. The six threes also marked an NBA best in a half at the time.

Jordan's record first half was definitely one for the books. What makes this game one of the most peculiar stat lines of the Bulls superstar's career is Jordan actually just winding up with 39 points on the night. One would think that Jordan ended up with 50 or something. But no, he only scored four points in the entire second half, after dropping 35 in the first 24 minutes.

Chicago dominating third quarter might explain why Jordan had a quiet second half after erupting in the first. The Bulls held a 15-point cushion by the intermission and ballooned their lead to 36 at the end of the third quarter.

Double-Nickel against the Knicks

Michael Jordan uttered the words “I'm Back” and sent the basketball world into a frenzy. The Bulls superstar took a near two-year hiatus from basketball and realized how much he had miss playing the sport. On March 19, in a game against the Indiana Pacers, Jordan made his official return to the NBA.

As expected, Jordan was rusty upon his return. And it's certainly understandable given how much time he missed. However, it seems like the six-time NBA champion didn't need a lot of time to regain his old form.

In just his fourth game back, Jordan put on a show for New York fans at Madison Square Garden and scored 55 points to lead the Bulls to a two-point win. So much for rust, huh? Jordan made 21-of-37 from the field on that night and made all but one of his 11 attempts from the foul line.

Definitely, the double-nickel MSG game is one of the signature games of Michael Jordan's career.

The 1986-87 and 1987-88 seasons

We're going to cheat a bit here and include two full seasons from Jordan's career: particularly the 1986-87 season and the succeeding 1987-88 campaign. As a player trying to cement his name in the league, Jordan established himself as the best scorer in the game and an all-around superstar with these two insane campaigns.

In 1986-87, Jordan pieced together his greatest scoring season of all time, averaging 37.1 points per game. He also averaged 5.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.9 steals, and 1.5 blocks, while shooting 48.2 percent from the field. With those numbers, you would think he won MVP.

Nonetheless, Jordan put together another magical season in 1987-88 and captured the first of his five MVP awards. His scoring output dropped to just 35.0 points, but his efficiency improved to an insane 53.5 percent. While doing so, he also averaged 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 3.2 steals, and 1.6 blocks throughout the 82-game season. And he did this while playing as a shooting guard in arguably the most physical era in the history of basketball.

If we combine these two regular seasons, His Airness' averages would read 36.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 3.0 steals, and 1.6 blocks, to go along with 50.7 percent shooting from the field. What makes this even more impressive is that Jordan only attempted 119 three-pointers over these two years.

Definitely, these two season-long stat-lines are every fantasy player's dream.
