Michael Jordan is one of the NBA’s most elite superstars. As a member of the Bulls, Jordan changed the face of the NBA. With his flashy dunks, extraordinary scoring, and tough demeanor, MJ took the NBA by storm. He would give the Bulls six titles, which were composed of 2 threepeats.

In fact, during a training camp, Chris Paul made a bet against MJ. If Jordan missed three shots, all the kids at the camp would receive free Air Jordan shoes. But like the legend he is, MJ never missed. Thereafter, fans on Twitter roasted MJ for his pettiness.

Clearly, the fans had fun with the situation. They still believe that MJ possesses his mean demeanor, and hence did not take the bet too lightly.

MJ in the NBA

When MJ stepped on to the NBA floor, little did anyone expect to see how great of a player he would turn out to be. Over a 15 year career that was majorly played out in Chicago, Jordan became an international icon. And through this, the NBA reached new heights as fans wanted a glimpse of ‘His Airness’. Moreover, many wanted to even be like him.

For 13 years, Jordan wore the iconic Chicago Bulls jersey. However, it would take him six seasons to get hold of the Larry O’Brien trophy. But once it was in his grasp, he never let go of it. In fact, the Bulls won three titles in a row from 1991 to 1993. Thereafter, Jordan would retire for nearly 2 years. However, from the 1995-96 season onwards, the Bulls were back on the mountaintop. In fact, they would stay there for 2 more seasons, thereby completing a second threepeat under Jordan. Post this, MJ would step away from the game once again.

However, he would step back into the NBA’s limelight for 2 seasons in his late thirties. Only this time, it was not in a Bulls jersey, but in a Wizards uniform. Despite not achieving title success, it was still a storybook ending for the legend, as fans got a glimpse of him one last time.
