Michael Jordan

Athlete Michael Jordan is widely believed to be the greatest basketball player in history.  The former Chicago Bulls guard-forward led his team to six championship titles, which included two "three-peats."  Jordan was known for his high-flying dunks, his multi-dimensional scoring technique and ability to finish under pressure.  Off the court, he broke records for his earning power and marketing prowess branding his top-selling Air Jordan sneaker.  After two widely publicized retirements, and a few questionable comebacks, Jordan finally left the court in 2003.  In 2010, he bought a majority stake in the Charlotte Bobcats, becoming the first former player to become majority owner of an NBA franchise.
