  1. Michael Jordan By: Kiandra Morrison

  2. Early Life • American basketball star Michael Jordan was born on February17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York. His Parents , James and Delores Jordan, moved to Wilmington, North Carolina when he was still a toddler. Jordan has two older brothers, one older sister, and one younger sister.

  3. Getting Started • Jordan went to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1981 and soon became an important member of the school’s basketball team.

  4. Drafted • . Drafted by the Chicago Bulls, he helped the team make it to the playoffs. Jordan finally received the NBA Rookie of the Year Award. With five regular season MVPs and three All-Star MVPs, Jordan became the most decorated player in the NBA.

  5. Championships • He led Chicago Bulls to six national championships, and earned the National Basketball Association’s Most Valuable Player Award five times. Growing up in Wilmington, North Carolina, Jordan developed a competitive edge at an early age.

  6. The Second Season • While his second season was marred by injury, Jordan was breaking new ground on the court during the 1986-1987 season. He became the first player since Wilt Chamberlin to score more than 3,000 points in a single season.

  7. Father Died • The team took their third championship the following year, dominating in the basketball world. Jordan, however, had things on his mind. He lost his father, James, to an act of violence after the end of the 1992-93 season. Two teenagers shot James Jordan during an apparent robbery and were later convicted of the crime.

  8. Playing Baseball • In a move that shocked many Michael Jordan decided to retire from basketball to pursue baseball. He played for a minor league team, the Birmingham Barons, as an outfielder for a year. In March 1995, Jordan returned to the basketball court.

  9. Playing for the Wizards • Retiring after the 1997-98 season, Jordan did not stay from the sport for too long. He joined the Washington Wizards as a part owner and as president of basketball operations. In the fall of 2001, Jordan relinquished these roles to return the court once more. He played for the Wizards for two seasons before hanging up his jersey for good in 2003.

  10. Michael Jordan’s Son • His oldest son, Jeffrey Jordan, made the team at the University of Illinois. Both Michael Jordan and his ex-wife Juanita have supported their son and tried to help him deal with playing in the shadow of a NBA legend.

  11. Space Jam Movie • Jordan made a big splash in another arena—film—as the star of Space Jam (1996). The film mixed live action and animation and paired Jordan with cartoon legends Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck on screen.

  12. Career Going • In April 2009, Jordan received one of basketball’s greatest honors: he inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Jordan remains active in his sport. He became the majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats in 2010 and serves as the team’s chairman.

  13. What He’s Doing Now • Improving the team’s less-than-stellar record seems to be Jordan’s number one priority these days. He told ESPN in November 2012 that “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.” Jordan married 35-year-old Cuban American model Yvette Prieto on April 27, 2013, in Palm beach, Florida.
