Jordan ended a fifteen-season career with a regular-season average score of
over thirty points per game, won six championships with the Chicago Bulls,
and currently owns a part in the Charlotte Bobcats. Jordan is considered by
most to be the greatest player of all time, with numerous awards and much
acclamation for his abilities, and has appeared on the cover of Sports
Illustrated a record of forty-nine times since 1983. He was named Sportsman
of the Year by the magazine in 1991, and in 1999, Jordan was named the
greatest athlete of the twentieth century by the ESPN sports network.
He was listed as being second only to Babe Ruth in the Associated Press’
list of the top athletes of the century, and his leaping ability has been
vividly proven by his feats of dunking a basketball from the foul line,
earning him nicknames like Air Jordan. As a young child in school, Jordan
was an athlete that came to skill in three sports at once, and eventually
singled this down to basketball after a few seasons of being refused from
the varsity basketball team. Jordan then earned an athletic scholarship to
the University of North Carolina, and from there, became a better player
over the time spent working with the team-oriented system.
After winning a play of the year award in 1984, he left to join the NBA
Draft, and was selected by the Chicago Bulls in the first round as the third
pick overall. Jordan played thirteen seasons for the Bulls and two with the
Washington Wizards, was generally used as a shooting guard, and was just as
versatile a threat at point guard and small forward. Throughout his career,
Michael Jordan has proved himself worthy of all the attention and praise
garnered through his skills and talents, and has since lent his knowledge to
coaching.
