Continuation Of Counting Michael Jordan's Steals And Blocks in 1987-88 Home Games



I some more of Michael Jordan's full home games from the 1987-88 season to add to the 8 that I already counted steals, and blocks from.  A few of these videos have bad image quality, which makes it tough to count blocks and steals.  Due to the grainy quality of some of the videos, I will give the score keeper the benefit of the doubt on blocked shots.  


The numbers in parenthesis represent Jordan's official number of steals and blocks.
