Who's Michael Jordan?
Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17, 1963), also known by his initials MJ, is an American businessman and former professional basketball player. His biography on the official NBA website states: "By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. He played fifteen seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA), winning six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls. Jordan is the principal owner and chairman of the Charlotte Hornets. He was integral in popularizing the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s, becoming a global cultural icon in the process.
Michael Jordan and Nike
38 years ago, Jordan signed his first sneaker contract with Nike. Nike launched the Air Jordan sneaker line in 1984 with the goal of making $3 million in the first three years. The first shoe shattered expectations, earning $126 million in one year. When discussing basketball shoes, the conversation always begins and ends with Jordan. It has been 38 years since the 'GOAT' entered the sneaker business, and there is no end in sight.
Why Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time
Michael Jordan, a five-time MVP, six-time NBA Finals MVP, 14-time All-Star and six-time NBA champion is the undisputed greatest basketball player of all time. Jordan was a 10-time scoring champion and a one-time Defensive Player of the Year, the latter being an award that James has never won. Jordan also finished third in all-time scoring at the end of his career, according to Basketball Reference.
MJ FACTS
Michael Jordan planned to become a weatherman if his career in basketball did not work out.Michael Jordan dropped out of college. He has a total of five children. Michael Jordan has a phobia of large bodies of water. The number 23 is often worn by other professional athletes simply because Michael Jordan wore it. He nearly did not make a deal with Nike because he wanted to wear Adidas shoes. Michael Jordan was charged with a penalty every time he wore his Air Jordans in a game.
MJ FINAL GAME
He retired a few different times throughout his career, but Michael Jordan’s official last NBA game came on April 16th, 2003. Jordan’s Washington Wizards would face the 76ers in Philadelphia. 40 year old Jordan would score just 15 points in a loss. It is a day that many people will never forget. Jordan was such an icon in the basketball figure and it really felt like there would be no return for him this time..
Why MJ inspires me
He pushed himself through hard work and always met challenges head-on. He has given his all in everything he has ever done. With his acrobatic dives and dunks, he had nearly unmatchable skills, but his authenticity, likeability and humility were the traits that made him a cultural icon. He helped disabled people play sports in the Special Olympics. Michael Jordan gave people a role model and inspired many people to play basketball.
THANKS!
