## Bio

Michael Jeffrey Jordan was born February 17, 1963, and played college ball at North Carolina, hitting a championship as a freshman in 1982. The Bulls took him third overall in 1984, and he became a league star known for prolific scoring, defense, and a leaping ability that earned him the nickname "Air Jordan." He won three straight titles from 1991 to 1993, then abruptly retired to play Minor League Baseball, citing exhaustion from the superstardom. He returned in 1995 and delivered three more championships - 1996, 1997, 1998 - plus a then-record 72 regular-season wins. After a second retirement in 1999, he came back for two seasons with the Wizards before hanging it up in 2003. His statistical dominance (30.1 points per game career average, 10 scoring titles, five MVPs) and Nike's Air Jordan line made him the wealthiest athlete of all time, worth $4.3 billion as of 2026, and in 2014 he became the first billionaire player in NBA history.
