Latest News: Michael Jordan Completes Sale of Hornets

Basketball icon Michael Jordan officially sold his majority ownership in the Charlotte Hornets NBA team on August 3. The team was sold for an estimated $3 billion, more than 10 times the $275 million Jordan purchased it for in 2010. The Hornets made the playoffs only three times under Jordan’s leadership. “I’m excited about the future of the team and will continue to support the organization and the community in my new role in the years ahead,” said Jordan, who kept a minority stake in the franchise.

Michael Jordan is a former professional basketball player, American Olympic athlete, businessperson, and actor. Considered one of the best basketball players ever, he dominated the sport from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s. Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships and earned the league’s MVP Award five times. With five regular-season MVPs and three All-Star MVPs, Jordan became the most decorated player in the NBA.

FULL NAME: Michael Jeffrey Jordan BORN: February 17, 1963 BIRTHPLACE: Brooklyn, New York SPOUSES: Juanita Vanoy (1989–2006), Yvette Prieto (2013–present) CHILDREN: Jeffrey, Marcus, Jasmine, Ysabel, and Victoria ASTROLOGICAL SIGN: Aquarius

Michael Jeffrey Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York. His mother, Deloris, was a bank teller who has since written several books. His father, James, was a maintenance worker turned manager at General Electric. Jordan, the fourth child of Deloris and James, has four siblings: James Jr. (known as Ronnie), Deloris, Larry, and Roslyn.

Growing up in Wilmington, North Carolina, Jordan developed a competitive edge at an early age. It was James who introduced his son Michael to baseball and built a basketball court in their backyard. Michael idolized his brother Larry, and the two would often play one-on-one into the night. Michael wanted to win every game he played.

Jordan attended Laney High School in Wilmington. He was notably assigned to the school’s junior varsity basketball team as a sophomore—he was still under 6 feet tall then—before developing into one of the country’s top recruits.

During a basketball camp in the summer of 1980, Jordan grabbed the attention of legendary University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill head coach Dean Smith and his staff. He signed his letter of intent with the school in 1981.

Jordan enrolled at North Carolina in 1981 and soon became an important member of the university’s basketball team. UNC won the NCAA Division I championship in 1982, with Jordan scoring the final basket needed to defeat Georgetown University. He was also singled out as the NCAA College Player of the Year in 1983 and in 1984.

Jordan left college after his junior year to join the NBA in 1984. In 1986, Jordan finished his bachelor’s degree in geography as he continued to play basketball professionally.

The 6-foot-6 Jordan began his professional basketball career when he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1984. He was the third overall pick, behind Hakeem Olajuwon, who was selected first by the Houston Rockets, and Sam Bowie, taken by the Portland Trail Blazers; the draft also featured legendary players John Stockton and Charles Barkley.

Jordan soon proved himself on the court. He helped the Bulls make the playoffs and scored an average of 28.2 points per game that season. For his efforts, Jordan received the NBA Rookie of the Year Award and was selected for the All-Star Game.

Although his second season was marred by injury, he broke new ground on the court during the 1986-87 season. He became the first player since Wilt Chamberlain to score more than 3,000 points in a single season. By the late 1980s, the Chicago Bulls were quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with, and Jordan was an instrumental part of the team’s success.

The Bulls made it to the Eastern Conference Finals in 1990 and won their first NBA championship the following year by defeating the Los Angeles Lakers. Jordan was well known by then for his superior athleticism on the court and for his leadership abilities.

In 1992, the Chicago Bulls beat the Portland Trail Blazers to win their second NBA championship. The team took their third championship the following year, dominating in the basketball world.

Following the 1993 death of his father and a short stint in minor league baseball, Jordan returned to the basketball court and the Bulls in March 1995. He came back even stronger the following year, averaging 30.4 points per game to lead the Bulls to a then-record 72 regular-season wins before they defeated the Seattle SuperSonics for the NBA championship.

Chicago nearly matched the previous year’s record with 69 wins in 1996-97, a season that ended with a Game 6 win over the Utah Jazz in the NBA Finals. The two teams faced each other again for the championship in 1998, with Jordan sinking the winning shot in Game 6 to claim his sixth and final title. In addition to those six rings, Jordan won each of his five league MVP awards with Chicago.

After his second retirement from basketball in 1999, Jordan joined the Washington Wizards in 2000 as a part owner and as president of basketball operations. In the fall of 2001, Jordan relinquished these roles to return to the court once more. He played for the Wizards for his final two NBA seasons.

Jordan is most famous for donning No. 23 during the majority of his career. He once said the number was a reference to brother Larry, as it was roughly half of his elder sibling’s high school number 45.

Jordan did wear 45 upon his 1995 return to the NBA because 23 was the number his late father knew him by, and he wanted a new beginning. That lasted only a couple months before Jordan switched back to 23 during the 1995 playoffs.

Jordan famously wore No. 12 for one game on February 14, 1990, because his jersey had been stolen. The Bulls didn’t have a backup and tried to locate a 23 jersey in the stands that would fit Jordan but couldn’t. The temporary change didn’t affect his performance, as Jordan scored 49 points in a loss to the Orlando Magic.

During the summer of 1984, Jordan made his first appearance at the Olympic Games as a member of the U.S. Olympic basketball team. The team of college amateurs won the gold at the games that year, which were held in Los Angeles.

Jordan later helped the American team bring home the gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games, held in Barcelona, Spain. The U.S. squad featured professional players for the first time that year, including Larry Bird , Magic Johnson , and Jordan, and became known as the “Dream Team.”

In 1988, Jordan received his first MVP Award from the NBA, an honor he would earn four more times, in 1991, 1992, 1996, and 1998.

In April 2009, Jordan received one of basketball’s greatest honors: He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Attending the induction ceremony was a bittersweet affair for Jordan because being at the event meant “your basketball career is completely over,” he explained.

In 2016, Jordan was presented with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama .

Jordan retired from the sport three times over the span of his 19-year professional career. He first stepped away on October 6, 1993, at age 30 to pursue a career in baseball following the death of his father. In July of that year, James was murdered when two teenagers shot him in his car in an apparent robbery as he was driving from Charlotte to Wilmington, North Carolina. He was missing for 23 days until his body was found in a swamp in McColl, South Carolina. The teens were later tried and convicted of the crime and received life sentences for first-degree murder.

Jordan retired from the Bulls again on January 13, 1999, at age 35 before eventually returning to the court with the Wizards. He finally hung up his jersey for good at age 40 on April 16, 2003.

In a move that shocked many, after the end of the 1992-93 basketball season, Jordan announced his retirement from basketball to pursue baseball. For one year in 1994, Jordan played for the Birmingham Barons, a minor league affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, as an outfielder.

This decision came shortly following the murder of Jordan’s father, who always wanted him to play baseball. He had last played baseball as a high school senior in 1981.

“You tell me I can’t do something, and I’m going to do it,” Jordan said.

During his short career in baseball, which many fans considered a whim, Jordan had a rather dismal .202 batting average. However, many of the people who worked with him at the time said he was an extremely dedicated player with potential.

“He had it all: ability, aptitude, work ethic. He was always so respectful of what we were doing and considerate of his teammates. Granted, he had a lot to learn,” former Barons manager Terry Francona said . “I do think with another 1,000 at-bats, he would’ve made it. But there’s something else that people miss about that season. Baseball wasn’t the only thing he picked up. I truly believe that he rediscovered himself, his joy for competition. We made him want to play basketball again.”

After his season with the Barons, Jordan went to the Arizona Fall League to play for the Scottsdale Scorpions. After hitting .252 and naming himself the team’s “worst player,” he returned to the NBA in March 1995 with a two-word press release: “I’m back.”

Outside of his career in basketball, Jordan has been involved in a number of profitable business and commercial ventures, including a longtime partnership with Nike. Jordan signed his first deal with Nike in 1984. The company launched its signature Air Jordan basketball sneakers in 1985. In its initial contract, Nike gave Jordan a generous 25 percent in royalties.

The Air Jordan quickly proved very popular, and it continues to be a best-seller for the apparel maker more than 30 years later. The collaboration mints money for Nike and Jordan, with Nike reporting nearly $2.9 billion in revenue for the Air Jordan line in 2018.

The story of Jordan’s partnership with Nike is the subject of the 2023 biographical drama Air , which stars Ben Affleck as Nike founder Phil Knight and Matt Damon as marketing executive Sonny Vaccaro.

Over the years, Jordan has signed a number of other endorsement deals with brands like Hanes, Upper Deck, Gatorade, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Chevrolet, and Wheaties. The Gatorade partnership featured a memorable ad campaign encouraging kids and adults to “Be Like Mike.”

In 1998, Jordan launched into the restaurant business as the owner of Michael Jordan’s The Steak House N.Y.C. Designed to reflect Jordan’s tastes and style, this typical steakhouse seated 150 and 60 at the bar, occupying 7,000 square feet in Grand Central Terminal, before closing in late 2018.

As of April 2023, there are four Michael Jordan’s Steak House locations: in Chicago; in Oak Brook, Illinois; at the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, Connecticut; and at the Ilani Casino in Ridgefield, Washington.

Part Owner of the Charlotte Hornets

In 2006, Jordan bought a share of the Charlotte Hornets (formerly known as the Bobcats) and joined the team’s executive ranks as its managing member of basketball operations. In 2010, he became the majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets and serves as the team’s chairman.

Improving the team’s less-than-stellar record seemed to be Jordan’s priority. In November 2012, he told ESPN: “I don’t anticipate getting out of this business. My competitive nature is I want to succeed. It’s always been said that when I can’t find a way to do anything, I will find a way to do it.” While the Hornets’ on-court record wasn’t hugely successful—they failed to make the playoffs six straight seasons from 2016 through 2022—the organization grew from a $175 million valuation in 2006 to $1.7 billion by October 2022.

In March 2023, ESPN reported that Jordan was in talks to sell his majority stake in the franchise to a group led by two NBA minority owners. Five months later on August 3, Jordan completed the sale to a group including the team’s minority owner, Gabe Plotkin, as well as music artists J. Cole and Eric Church. Jordan kept a minority stake in the franchise.

Jordan’s NASCAR Team

In 2020, Jordan partnered with NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin to form the 23XI Racing team. The name is a reference to Jordan’s basketball number and Hamlin’s No. 11 race car.

Jordan is a longtime NASCAR fan and grew up watching legends of the sport like Richard Petty, Cale Yarborough, and Dale Earnhardt . Hamlin is a Jordan brand athlete and fan of the Charlotte Hornets, so the two were friends before the NASCAR partnership.

The team debuted in the 2021 Daytona 500 with Bubba Wallace driving the No. 23 car. Wallace picked up the team’s first NASCAR Cup victory later that season on October 4 at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.

The team expanded to two cars for the 2022 season, with former champion Kurt Busch driving the No. 45 car. Busch and Wallace each won a race at Kansas Speedway that year. Tyler Reddick replaced Busch in the 45 for the 2023 season and quickly gave the team a fourth race win at Circuit of the Americas.

Forbes listed Jordan’s net worth at $2 billion as of April 3, 2023. According to Sportico , he is the highest paid athlete of all time.

From 2001 through 2014, Jordan hosted an annual charity golf event known as the Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational, with proceeds benefiting foundations including Make-A-Wish, Cats Care, the James R. Jordan Foundation, Keep Memory Alive, and Opportunity Village.

The four-day tournament and celebration attracted celebrity participants, including Wayne Gretzky , Michael Phelps , Chevy Chase , Samuel L. Jackson , and Mark Wahlberg .

In 2023, Jordan made a $10 million donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation—the largest by an individual in its history—in honor of his 60th birthday.

In 1989, Jordan married Juanita Vanoy. The couple had three children together: Jeffrey, Marcus, and Jasmine. After 17 years of marriage, they divorced in December 2006.

On April 27, 2013, Jordan married 35-year-old Cuban American model Yvette Prieto in Palm Beach, Florida. Tiger Woods , Spike Lee , and Patrick Ewing, among other celebrities, reportedly attended the wedding ceremony. The couple welcomed twin daughters, Victoria and Ysabel, in February 2014.

Jordan and Juanita’s two sons, Jeffrey and Marcus, both played basketball in college and had dreams of making it to the NBA.

Jeffrey joined the basketball team at the University of Illinois in 2007. Both Jordan and his ex-wife, Juanita, supported their son and tried to help him deal with playing in the shadow of an NBA legend. “The thing that we have tried to tell Jeff is that you set your own expectations. By no means in this world can you ever live up to someone else’s expectations of who you are,” Jordan said during an appearance on the Today show.

Jeffrey played for the University of Illinois for three seasons, from 2007 to 2010. He then played for the University of South Florida for one season, from 2011 to 2012, before retiring from basketball. He later entered a management training program at Nike.

Jordan’s younger son, Marcus, played basketball for the UCF Knights, for three seasons from 2009 to 2012. He went on to open a basketball shoe and apparel store in Florida. “They wanted to be like their dad. What boy doesn’t? But they both got to a point where they said, ‘We’re not going to the NBA,’” Juanita said in 2013.

Jordan made a big splash as the lead actor in the 1996 movie Space Jam . The film mixed live action and animation and paired Jordan with Looney Tunes legends Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck on screen. Jordan did not appear in the 2021 sequel Space Jam: A New Legacy , which features LeBron James .

Jordan and the 1997-98 Bulls were the subject of the 2020 documentary The Last Dance, co-produced by Netflix and ESPN Films. ESPN aired the 10-part series after the COVID-19 pandemic halted the 2019-20 NBA season, and it became a must-watch for basketball fans. Along with featuring archival footage of Jordan and interviews with teammates and opponents, The Last Dance explored the tension between the Bulls front office and its peerless superstar over his final triumphant year with the team.

Jordan has also appeared on the cover of the popular NBA 2K video game franchise four times , including as recently as 2022.

A photograph of Jordan in tears during his 2009 induction into the Hall of Fame turned into a popular internet meme called “Crying Jordan,” in which Jordan’s teary face is superimposed on pictures of other people suffering mishaps.

  • You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
  • By no means in this world can you ever live up someone else’s expectations of who you are.
  • My competitive nature is I want to succeed. It’s always been said that when I can’t find a way to do anything, I will find a way to do it.
  • I’ve reached the pinnacle of my career. I just feel that I don’t have anything else to prove.
  • I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.
  • Limits, like fear, is often an illusion.
  • [A]t the end of the day, the team’s got to go out and play. I think the players win the championship, and the organization has something to do with it, don’t get me wrong. But don’t try to put the organization above the players.
  • The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I’ve always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It’s been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It’s a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game.
  • I try to be a role model for Black kids, white kids, yellow kids, green kids.
  • Enjoy every minute of life. Never second-guess life.
  • I always thought I would be a professional athlete. I always loved sports. I knew one thing I didn’t want was a job. Me and working were never best friends. I enjoyed playing.

Michael Jordan: The Story of a Basketball Player Research Paper

Introduction, childhood years, a step away from death, between basketball and baseball, beginning of the brightest career, chicago bulls.

Michael Jordan could have been a baseball player but chose basketball. With his help, Chicago Bulls won their first title which was later followed by a complete three-peat. Two years after his first retirement, Jordan returned to Chicago to help the team that had lost their leading positions. Michael won three more champion titles with Chicago Bulls and eventually departed the club. Jordan is the winner of many individual awards; his main achievement is the NBA Most Valuable Player Award, which he received five times. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was honored with this prize more times than Jordan. Michael’s athletic qualities can be proved not only by the trophies he won but also by the magnitude of advertising contracts, many of which were valid even after Jordan retired. In 2017, Forbes named Jordan as the highest-paid athlete in history. There were many obstacles in the way to his success. At the peak of his form, Jordan lost his father and left basketball. The life of Michael Jordan is a story of struggle followed by success. This paper will discuss the path of one of the best basketball players in history to glory.

Michael was born into a large family – he is the fourth of the five children in the family, and his parents are James and Deloris Jordan. Before the birth of Michael, James served in the US Armed Forces (Lazenby, 2014). Michael was a disobedient child as he liked to do the opposite of what he was told. Jordan always accepted the challenges and often faced trouble because of such a character (The Associated Press, 2015). For instance, when he was four years old, Michael argued with his cousin. The latter offered Jordan a bet – he would pay a dollar if Michael chopped off his toe (Hasday, 2013). Jordan did not want to seem like a coward and accepted the proposal. Although Michael did not lose his body part, he could not avoid physical damage.

In school years, another problem was discovered – Michael was not a hardworking child. Jordan did not want to work and eluded from household chores. One summer, Deloris got her son a job at a hotel, where he had to serve the rooms (James, 2017). The experience was negative – Michael was constantly late and decided never to look for a job again. Discipline problems led Jordan to a temporary expulsion from school (The Associated Press, 2015). Michael left the school without permission to visit a nearby store and was suspended from classes for several days (Lazenby, 2014). Michael became more responsible in high school, where he improved his discipline and academic performance.

At the age of two, Michael nearly died from an electric shock. He touched the junction of two extension cords lying on wet grass. The strike was intense, and the child was thrown back a couple of meters (James, 2017). At the age of seven or eight, Michael almost drowned. Together with his close friend, they swam in the ocean (Hasday, 2013). When the children were far from the shore, a breaking wave emerged (Hasday, 2013). It covered his friend and dragged him to the bottom. Michael managed to survive, but his friend, unfortunately, died (Hasday, 2013). For this reason, Michael was always afraid of water (Hasday, 2013). Later, he could become a water’s victim again – when he was 11 years old, he nearly drowned while trying to pass the mandatory swimming test at school (Hasday, 2013). Jordan did not know how to swim, but still went into the water and made his attempt.

Michael’s father loved baseball and wanted to introduce children to his favorite sport. When the children were old enough to be able to hold a bat in their hands, he began to bring them into the yard and throw a baseball (Lazenby, 2014). Boys from the Jordan family played in the children’s baseball league at the age of five or six. Michael looked well on a baseball court, and the coaches predicted a professional career. From the age of nine, Jordan became interested in basketball. His older brother, Larry, contributed significantly to Michael’s interest (Lazenby, 2014). Father placed a basketball hoop for Larry in the yard, and Michael and Larry played one on one. In high school, Michael finally switched from baseball to basketball (Lazenby, 2014). Michael’s baseball career at the time began to decline. Jordan began to spend more time on the basketball court. Michael realized that basketball is precisely the kind of sport he wanted to practice.

There were no tall people in the Jordan family, and Michael was no exception. Short stature substantially interfered with Jordan – when Michael was 15 years old, he was not accepted into the high school basketball team due to his height (The Associated Press, 2015). In the eleventh grade, the grown-up Michael was eventually taken to the basketball team (James, 2017). There he was noticed by an assistant coach of the Tar Heels team of the University of North Carolina. The specialist immediately appreciated the talent of the young player (James, 2017). During his time at the university, Michael grew even more (The Associated Press, 2015). When Jordan began to play in the NBA, his height was 198 cm.

In Jordan’s first game for the Tar Heels team at the University of North Carolina, his team beat Kansas with a score of 74:67, where Michael brought his team 12 points (Basketball Reference, 2020). Besides this first match, the whole season can be considered successful. Tar Heels reached the finals, where they beat Georgetown with a score of 63:62. Jordan’s toss into the final 15 seconds of the game brought the team victory in the game and the season (Basketball Reference, 2020).

Before Jordan came to Chicago Bulls in 1984, the team was without champion ambitions. With the arrival of Michael, the new owner and the new management came (The Associated Press, 2015). The idea was to build a new team around Jordan, and this plan was successful (The Associated Press, 2015). Michael quickly became the star of the Chicago Bulls. In the first season in the NBA, Michael averaged 28.2 points per game in the regular season and 29.2 in the playoffs (Basketball Reference, 2020). These were the best indicators in the team, and in 1985, Michael received the Rookie of the Year Award (The Associated Press, 2015). Jordan could be distinguished from the crowd of other basketball players by his trademark jump. He seemed to hang in the air for a few seconds and earned the nickname Air Jordan and His Airness (The Associated Press, 2015). Michael’s nickname was quickly monetized – in 1984, Jordan entered into an advertising contract with Nike.

Jordan won his first NBA title in 1991 and managed to win the league for three consecutive years – 1991, 1992, and 1993. After his father’s murder in 1994, however, Jordan decided to retire from basketball (The Associated Press, 2015). With Michael’s departure, Chicago Bulls could not achieve any success. In 1995, Jordan decided to return to basketball, but the season was almost over, so he could not make any significant contributions to Chicago Bulls’ performance (The Associated Press, 2015). A year later, however, Michael helped his team start their path to the second three-peat. Chicago Bulls became champions in 1996, 1997, and 1998, and Jordan’s participation in this three-year success is colossal (The Associated Press, 2015). He retired for the second time in 1999, and although he came back two years later to play for Washington Wizards, he could not manage to win another title. In 2003, Jordan ended his basketball career for the last time.

The story of Jordan is full of effort, determination, and success. Despite facing many obstacles in his life, Jordan managed to become one of the greatest basketball players of all time. In his youth, Michael was short and could not qualify for school basketball teams. Several times, Michael almost faced a tragic ending – in childhood, he nearly drowned twice. However, Jordan always persevered, and his persistence granted him and Chicago Bulls two three-peats. He is one of the best players in the history of both the Chicago Bulls and basketball in general.

The major part of his life was spent by playing for the team Chicago Bulls and he had led to his team to six NBA championship titles. He is acclaimed to be one of the best players the world of basketball has ever seen, and he is also a celebrated Olympian. Besides being a player, he is also a businessman, and also an amateur actor.

Table of Contents

Michael Jordan Early life and Education

Michael Jordan was born on the 17 th of February, in the year of 1963, in Brooklyn, New York. He was brought up in North Carolina. Jordan was born to Deloris and James Jordan. His mother was a banker, whereas his father worked as an equipment supervisor.

Jordan was the fourth of his parents’ five children. He has one older sister, two older brothers, and a younger sister. Jordan is said to have been very competitive from a very young age, which might have fulled his athletic career in certain ways. Jordan’s education began in the Emsley A. Laney High School situated in Wilmington.

This school is also the place where Jordan began indulging in the sport he went on to flourish in. However, his path was filled with obstacles and rejection, but he was determined enough to overcome all such barriers.

Jordan was the star player of the varsity squad, and later went on to be a part of the McDonald’s All-American Team during his senior year, after an impressive stint as a varsity player.

Jordan was offered sports scholarships from many renowned colleges, but he went on to accept the one from North Carolina University, where he studied cultural geography. He won the award of the NCAA college player in the years 1983 and 1984 consecutively.

Career as a Sportsperson

Jordan joined the NBA during his junior year in college. He was signed by the Chicago Bulls, and he proved his worth immediately from the very beginning of his professional career.

His average score per game in his first session was a whopping 28.2 points, which helped his team advance into the playoffs, and also earned him several accolades and prestige, including a place in the All-Star game of the year.

His career had a sudden setback when he was injured during his second season, but he soon made an impressive comeback in the season of 1986. He went on to be the second player in the basket balling history to score 3,000 points and above in one season.

By 1990, both Chicago Bulls and Jordan’s career was soaring at an all-time high, and it only tended to improve every season.

However, Jordan moved to minor league basketball (for the Birmingham Barons) for a short period, but came back to play for the Chicago Bulls during 1995 and went on to guide his team to a championship victory in that same sporting season.

Jordan retired during the 1997-1998 season, when he was at the park of his form. Hence, his retirement came as a shock to all the lovers of the sport. Even after retirement, Jordan cared and wanted to work for the betterment of this sport, and became a part of the Washington Wizards as their part owner and president for sporting operations.

He also played for this team later, for two seasons. Jordan retired permanently in the year of 2003.

As a businessman

Jordan endorsed many renowned brands during his sporting career, including Coca Cola, McDonald’s, Nike, Chevrolet, etc. After his retirement, his endorsement schemes lessened, but did not stop completely.

In the year of 1998, Jordan also delved into the restaurant business, as he launched the Michael Jordan Steakhouse. It began in the New York City, but later expanded to other locations such as Uncasville and Chicago.

During 2006, he bought a certain share of the Charlotte Bobcats, and was also a part of the team’s executive managers.

As an actor

Jordan served a brief stint as an amateur actor as well, in between his basketball related endeavours. He starred in the movie Space Jam, which had released in the year of 1996.

This film was a mixture of action and animation, and surprisingly portrayed Jordan with the likes of famous cartoon characters such as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.

The film traces the course of Jordan’s post retirement life, where he is abducted by the Looney Tunes group to play a match against a criminal alien group. However, this movie was not a great commercial success, and currently has an IMDB rating of 6.3.

Michael Jordan has married twice. His first wife was Juanita Vanoy, whom he had wedded in the year of 1989. Juanita and Jordan divorced in December, 2006, and are the parents of three children- Jeffrey, Marcus, and Jasmine.

Out of these three, Jeffrey went on to become a basketball player as well. He dealt with certain psychological problems regarding being in the shadow of his father as a professional player, but both his parents helped him recover this mental state.

Jordan’s next wedding took place during the year of 2013, when he got married to Yvette Prieto, a model of mixed nationality. They went on to give birth to beautiful twin daughters- Ysabel and Victoria.

Known widely for his agility and exceptional skills, Michael Jordan proves to be a true legend in the realm of basketball. Jordan also stands to be an exceptional instance in combating the widespread racist attacks and slurs thrown at achievers belonging to that community.

In this way, the achievements of Michael Jordan as a sportsperson do not stop merely at an individual level, but soars to be an example of the shattering of certain pre-existing racial prejudices and stereotypes.

Chicago Tribune

Barack Obama honors Michael Jordan for ‘transcendent’ career in essay collection for Chicago Bulls Ring of Honor

F ormer President Barack Obama praised the career of Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan as part of an essay collection honoring the team’s inaugural Ring of Honor inductees.

“There are only a handful of athletes in history — Ruth, Robinson, Ali — that can claim a comparable impact,” Obama wrote. “Michael Jordan shares that rare air. Not bad for a kid from Wilmington, North Carolina, who had once been cut by his high school varsity team.”

Jordan is one of 13 members of the inaugural Ring of Honor class , which is being celebrated in a gala Thursday night at the United Center and at halftime of Friday’s game against the Golden State Warriors.

The Bulls selected a different writer with ties to the franchise and Chicago to honor each of the 13 members of the class, including Hall of Famer Jerry Colangelo writing about Dick Klein; Phil Jackson on Tex Winter; Gregg Popovich on Jerry Sloan; and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on the 1995-96 team, which also will be inducted into the Ring of Honor this week.

A handwritten copy of Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder’s tribute essay to Dennis Rodman will be on display in the United Center atrium for fans to view during Friday’s game.

“At the dawn of each NBA season, the ultimate goal was a world championship,” Vedder wrote. “Going all the way, three for three in those three epic seasons, the Chicago Bulls left no doubt as to their dominance. It was intense. It was joyful. It was inspiring. It was a team the likes of which may never be seen again. And there will certainly never be another comet as bright and impactful as Dennis Rodman. Forever a legend. The city of Chicago is so grateful you landed here.”

All of the essays are viewable on the Bulls website .
