Michael Jordan is widely regarded as the greatest basketball player ever. He is a 6-time NBA Champion, 6-time Finals MVP, and 14-time All-Star among a plethora of achievements. Jordan was integral in popularizing the sport in the 1980s and 1990s and he became a global cultural icon in the process. While he consistently won on the court of basketball, he lived his life king size.

He spent a lot of money on things he liked to do off the court of basketball, such as golf, gambling, etc. He truly defined the mantra of ‘work hard, party harder’.

A recently resurfaced picture indicates that Jordan left no stones unturned when it came to celebrating winning a championship. It is truly an iconic photo that showed what really happened after the Bulls won another title.

The Bulls legend, in many ways, was a pioneer for the sport of basketball. He helped the sport become global, and he also ensured people enjoyed the success they achieved by working hard.

Michael Jordan is an icon

MJ was a role model for most of the guys in today’s NBA. He was drafted by a floundering Chicago Bulls franchise and completely turned their fortunes around. The Bulls became probably the most famous franchise in American sports due to the excellence of ‘His Airness’. Jordan lived life on his own terms, and he didn’t let anyone else dictate what he wanted to do.

He retired from basketball to pursue baseball after winning three NBA championships in a row. Eventually, MJ came back and lead the Bulls to another three-peat. While Jordan was a legend on the court of basketball, he made sure he enjoyed the success that came with it as well. And became the world’s richest athlete ever.
