Athletes with Killer Instincts Since 1990: No. 1


1. Bryon Russell

Those who know notorious, Hall of Fame speeches will know why Bryon Russell is sarcastically listed as the #1 Athlete with Killer Instincts Since 1990. 

Was there any doubt who the #1 Athlete would be? You may disagree, but in major sports, is there someone you think could perform better in the clutch than Michael Jordan? I'm all ears...


While Jordan was one of the most well-rounded and clutch scorers in NBA History, many fail to understand the extent to which Jordan was an elite defensive player. When Jordan wanted to shut down other players, he did. He made the NBA All-Defensive Team 9 times and led the NBA in steals 3 times. These are remarkable feats for someone hailed as a scorer. Of course, that is why Jordan is the best. Check out these other statistics and highlight video:

1. 6x NBA Champion
2. 6x NBA Finals MVP
3. 5x NBA MVP
4. 14x NBA All-Star
5. 10x NBA Scoring Champion
6. 9x NBA All-Defensive First Team
7. 3x NBA Steals Champion
8. 3x AP Athlete of the Year
9. 2x NBA Slam-Dunk Champion
10. NCAA Champion (1982, UNC)
11. Playoff PPG of 33.4, FG% of .487, RPG of 6.4, APG of 5.7, SPG of 2.1
12. Highest Player Efficiency Rating (PER) for Career (27.91)
13. Part of Bulls Record 1995-96 winning season with 72 wins out of 82 games
