 Michael Jordan - A phenomenal athlete with a unique
combination of grace, power, artistry and improvisational ability, Michael
Jordan has single-handedly redefined the NBA superstar. The most recognizable
athlete in the world, Michael Jordan is not only the top player of his era, but
is quite possibly the best player ever to wear the uniform of an NBA team. A
legend on the court, Michael Jordan added to his mystique with a totally
unexpected retirement just before the 1993-94 season. After a year spent playing
minor league baseball, Michael Jordan authored yet another amazing chapter to
his story by returning to the Chicago Bulls late in the 1994-95 campaign with
his basketball skills intact. In 1995-96 Michael Jordan won a record eighth
scoring title and led the Bulls to their fourth NBA championship of the 1990s,
and in 1996-97 Michael Jordan raised those numbers to nine scoring championships
and five NBA crowns in the decade.
