Jordan taking it to the hole.
 

Michael Jordan's story.
On February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York, a legend was born. Michael Jordan lead the University of North Carolina Tarheels to a Division Championship in his time there. In 1984 he graduated from UNC and started his career in the NBA.
In 1985 he made his NBA debut as a guard for the Chicago Bulls. In 1991, 1992,1993, 1996,1997, and finally in 1998 with a game winning shot with 5.2 seconds left in the 4th quarter. From 1993-1995 Jordan took a short break from the game he loves so much which was suppose to be a life long retirement. In January 1999 after his most famous shot, he retired from the game of basketball a second time.
A year later in 2000, Jordan became president of basketball operations for the Washington Wizards. Eventually Michael got tired of not playing anymore and he sold his share of the franchise and came out of retirement yet to suit up as #23, this time Small Forward for the Washington Wizards. Michael Jordan has had many accomplishments in his lifetime. He co-starred with Bugs Bunny in a movie called Space Jam. He was the undesputed MVP in 1991 and 1992. He was also a member of the 1984 US Oplympic team and for the 1992 "Dream Team". Both times won gold medals. In his lifetime he gained the title of greatest Player who ever lived. If he ever really gives up the game, I for one will be surprised. In my opinion the Wizards are going all the way in 2003 just because he is on the team. He certainly teaches us never to quit. See ya next year Mike.
