Michael Jordan

Does anyone know Michael Jordan? He played basketball in the NBA. I saw him play. He's a very good basketball player. He played for the Chicago Bulls. Jordan is famous for the Air Jordan dunk. Jordan's jersey number is 23. He can shoot 3 pointers. He also can also dunk. And he's strong.

Michael Jordan was born on Feburary 17, 1963 in Brookln, NY. His height is 6'6". His weight is 216 pounds. He played in the NBA for 15 years. He graduated from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill before playing for the NBA.

Jordan was drafted in 1984 in the first round, the 3rd by the Chicago Bulls. While playing for the Bulls he won six NBA total championships. He was selected MVP, most valuable player, of the NBA five times.


Jordan gives back to the community by giving money to different charities. These are some of the charities that he donates to: The Ronald McDonald House, the Jordan Institute for Families in North Carolina and the Michael Jordan Celebrity International golf tournament.

The Jordan Institute for Families in North Carolina is a place to develop and test policies and practices to engage communities and family development.

I think that Michael Jordan is an excellent basketball player.
He was awarded many trophies and awards in and out of basketball. Michael Jordan is a real super star.
