1997 for me, since he probably had the least amount of help in this match-up. Scottie Pippen played great in Game 1, but was underwhelming after that. Aside from Pippen, nobody else came close to averaging double digits. Two important contributors, Toni Kukoc and Dennis Rodman, were limited by ankle and knee ailments respectively. Kukoc's offensive production was down and Rodman's rebounding dropped by almost half compared to his performance against Seattle.
In Chicago's 4 wins, Jordan averaged 37/9/7 on 47 percent shooting while leading the team in rebounds in their Game 2 and 6 victories. Plus Jordan was 34, so not exactly in his physical prime anymore. That's why I give 1997 the top spot even though he averaged 41 in 1993.

Karl Malone may have been a factor here, just saying.
Anyway I'm going to say 1993, if only because Jordan was always the biggest deciding factor for his team's victory, and that Phoenix team is probably the best Finals opponent he faced.

I doubt Malone really had that much to do with it. The knee injury was a much bigger problem. Dennis faced better rebounders than Malone in the playoffs and still rebounded like hell.
