Michael Jordan is one of the greatest players ever to have played the game of basketball. The basketball legend was the offensive force for the Chicago Bulls. Jordan was a mid-range assassin who, when needed, could easily get to the basket and score. He was also an extraordinary dunker and could even shoot a three-pointer when needed. This showmanship to his game brought him a fan following of millions of fans.
