Michael Jordan is arguably one of the best player in NBA history. Jordan had an unprecedented impact on the game with his fantastic scoring ability and his rugged defending.
Jordan was an electrifying guard at 6’6 and was a supremely talented player who could score on anyone. With a great mid-range shot to thunderous dunks, MJ had it all.
The number three pick of the 1984 draft made an instant impact on his debut in the NBA. As a 21-year-old rookie, MJ scored a staggering 2313 points which was a league high. He finished as the runner-up scoring champion in his first year itself. It was just a glimpse of his His Airness’ greatness.
