It also lists his countless amounts of achievements in basketball. This statue was unveiled on November 1st in 1994.

In 1992, he was part of the Olympic Dream team that swept everyone away and captured the gold medal in Barcelona, Jordan's second.
In his last game for the Bulls, he was able to knock down the game-winning shot against the Utah Jazz. Despite calling it quits after that, he returned for a couple of seasons as a member of the Wizards from 2001 to 2003.
