About Michael Jordan

Known for: Greatest basketball player of all time and the indelible 'Air Jordan' 'Jump Man' logo

Named the greatest basketball player of all time by ESPN, during his tenure with the Chicago BUlls Michael Jordan did more to put Chicago on the map than Al Capone ever did. The famous sillhouette of him airborn and his nickames, which include Air Jordan and His Airness, his good looks, plus his smooth, classy post-game interview style, made him wildly famous worldwide.

Michael was first recognized as a young player at the University of North Carolina; he went on to lead the Chicago Bulls in their incredible 'three-peat' win of the NBA championship from 1991 through 1993. When he came back from retirement in 1995, he led them to three additional championships (1996-1998) and a record 72 regular-season wins.

MJ's accomplishments and accolades make a long list, so here are just some of them:

* five MVP awards
* ten All-NBA First Team designations
* ten scoring titles
* named the greates athlete of the 20th cednturey by ESPN
* elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame on April 6, 2009

Nike's endorsements of Jordan led to the dominance of basketball sneakers in the marketplace for several years running, and his Air Jordan shoes remain popular today. He is now retired from basketball but has a majority stake in the Charlotte Bobcats.
