Michael Jordan Wife


Michael Jordan is a former American professional Basketball player and a businessman. He was the most lethal, unapologetic talent in the NBA of his time and is regarded as the greatest of all time. He played 15 seasons in the NBA and won six championships with the Chicago Bulls. He also holds the record for the six NBA finals MVP, ten NBA scoring titles, and many more.


His will to win was so acute that it took a toll on the players he played with but his greatness, his aura of invincibility was so much more than what could be perceived just on the basketball court. Off the court, he was a husband, a father, someone who deeply cared about his family. We all know how he left to play baseball after the tragic death of his father. His passion to win has been misunderstood many times but his devotion to his family and to his loved ones has always been held in high regard. He embodied not only being a great athlete but also being an equally good family man.
