Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, is as famous as someone can be. Ever since his playing days, Jordan always represented something greater than basketball. On the basketball court, he had a swagger that seldom players have had. He had a relentless work ethic and was a fierce competitor.

Michael Jordan – The Ultimate Warrior
Throughout his career, Jordan had a desire to be the best. He was never the one who would take kindly to a loss. Jordan had a crazy work ethic and worked on every aspect of his game till he perfected it. He was the mid-range assassin who could shoot a jumper from anywhere.
Moreover, he was also notorious for making in-game bets with players and then completing the task. The Chicago Bulls legend once made free throws with his eyes closed just to prove a point.

Jordan – The man who inspired a generation
Jordan made NBA global. He inspired a generation of players who wanted to play basketball just because they saw Michael playing basketball. He was NBA’S first global superstar. And his on-court performances matched his off the court fandom.

Jordan won six NBA Championships to go with six Finals MVP awards. He also won 5 regular season MVP awards and a plethora of scoring titles. He was a pest on the defensive end, too. Michael was the greatest player of his generation and one of the greatest of all time.
