Michael Jordan is considered by many as the greatest basketball player of all time. He was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1984 with the third overall pick after a standout college career at University of North Carolina. Jordan quickly made an impact in the NBA, winning the Rookie of the Year award in his first season after averaging 28.2 points per game.
MJ spent the majority of his 15-year NBA career with the Chicago Bulls, briefly retiring in 1993 before returning to the Bulls in 1995. He led the Bulls to six NBA championships in the 1990s (1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998), while cementing his legacy as one of the most dominant offensive players ever.
