Michael Jordan is a Hall of Fame shooting guard who played in the NBA from 1984 to 2003 for the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards. Winner of five regular-season MVP awards, he is widely considered the best basketball player ever to play in the NBA. Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA titles, and was voted the Finals MVP a record six times. Michael Jordan scored more points per game than any player in NBA history, with a 30.1 average, and his 32,292 career points scored rank as the third-most in NBA history. His career postseason scoring average of 33.5 points is also the best in NBA history.

Michael Jordan was a 14-time All-Star, averaging 20.2 points per All-Star game, and became the only player to ever record a triple-double in an All-Star Game when he achieved the feat in 1997. He was named Defensive Player of the Year in 1988, and was on the All-Defensive First Team nine times. Michael Jordan also held the record for consecutive games scoring in double-digits (866). In 1996, Jordan was named as one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History.

Michael Jordan became a world-famous star as his Bulls kept winning, and he kept scoring. He graced the cover of countless magazines, including Sports Illustrated a record 51 times. He also had his own line of basketball shoe -- the introduction of the Nike Air Jordan, embroidered with Jordan's signature symbol of him jumping in the air, basketball in one hand and legs spread, would boost Nike as one of the world leaders in sports merchandise. With countless endorsements to his name, Jordan would revolutionize the sports merchandising and marketing industries.

It took me awhile to finally watch this, but I can see why everyone was so upset about it...Not only did he not thank this guy, but he didnt even mention Bugs Bunny

The greatest HOF Speech in history. Fuck modesty, I wanna hear brute honesty from the greatest to ever do it. The NBA wasn't modest when they used him to make Billions. He speaking in the exact tone he should, one of superiority because he made this league what it is today.There was nothing fake about this speech. MJ is too real, too thorough. I hope Iverson comes with this same mentality.

[bedlam36]

Someone explain to me what was wrong with this speech?

[livingisaight]

@ChicagoFan32 nah it's arrogance. 

[3912James]

@tpstrat14 He'll be better than any of the SGs that the Bulls currently have.

[tpstrat14]

next year, he'll be 50! Is he coming back? If so, he's gotta get in shape. He's lookin fat sitting there with the Bobcats.

[wankstankonia]

Damn he only mentioned Phil Jackson once. Was he even in the crowd? Although he did come of as arrogant at times I think it was more to illustrate his motivation. Very nice speech overall though!

Look At Sloans Face When Hes Hearing The Bryon Russell Story Hes Like On Shit Hahah

[J4ANification]

UK still recognises you Michael jordan as NBA legend. Thanks for them years of NBA!

[3912James]

0:24....Stockton got that "Uh OH" face.

Plus...this is my first time really looking and listening to this video footage...and I fail to see where the conspiracy's at. All Jordan is doing (friends and opponents alike) is thanking them for bringing out the ultimate competitor in Jordan because without them....Michael wouldn't come remotely close to achieving what he did.

@MsNocoincidence Amen... if you don't wake up every morning thinking the way MJ does then you just aren't living your life the right way. Everybody should look up to this man.
