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.

@ttb6989 If lebron is so good why did he already lose 2 Finals? He lost to the Mavs and he had wade and bosh and still couldnt pull it off. If he cant do it with them then he never will win a championship. As for the you saying lebron was so blessed he played as a rookie at eighteen, put him in MJs shoes. If he was cut from his highschool bball team he would have never played. He didnt have the drive MJ did to be better. Thats why will never mentioned in the same breath as MJ. NEVER!!!!!
