Michael Jordan's Basketball Accomplishments

Michael Jeffrey Jordan was born in Brooklyn New York and grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Michael was an all around athlete while in middle school and excelled at baseball, basketball, and football. But his favorite sport was baseball. It was through endless games of one-on-one basketball against his older brother Larry that Michael developed his competitiveness, and his love for basketball.

In high school Michael joined the JV basketball team at Laney high school. During Michael's sophomore year, the varsity team needed additional players for an upcoming tournament, and held a tryout. Michael tried out but was not chosen due to his lack in size. Michael was extremely hurt by this experience and vowed to never let it happen again. The next year Michael grew 6 inches and began to dominate his opponents.

Michael caught the eye of Roy Williams, then the assistant of coach Dean Smith of North Carolina and invited Michael to a camp for promising high school players. Coach Smith liked Jordan immediately and recruited him for North Carolina. Michael went on to start his freshman year, and hit the gaming winning shot of the 1982 NCAA championship game. He calls that the turning point of his entire career.

After North Carolina Michael Jordan played 15 seasons in the NBA, 13 years for the Chicago Bulls from 1984 to 1998, and then 2 seasons for the Washington Wizards from 2001 to 2003. In those 15 years, Michael Jordan achieved these accomplishments.

6 NBA Championships (1991-1993, 1996-1998)

1 NBA defensive player of the year (1988)

30.1 career scoring average (#1 all time)

10 NBA scoring titles (1987-1993, 1996-1998)

Michael Jordan, born in 1963, in Brooklyn, New York, grew up in North Carolina. He started out his stellar basketball career at the famed University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1982 he led the team to a National Championship. This accomplishment landed Michael Jordan and teammate Sam Perkins on the cover a 1983 Sports Illustrated magazine cover; it would not be his last. In 1984 he became a professional basketball player, joining the NBA's Chicago Bulls team.

From the start Michael Jordan was a league star, entertaining crowds with his prolific scoring. His leaping ability, illustrated by performing slam dunks from the free throw line earned him the nickname "Air Jordan." He also gained a reputation for being one of the best defensive players in basketball.

In 1991, he won his first NBA championship with the Bulls, and followed that achievement with titles in 1992 and 1993; fans called the triple accomplishment a "three-peat." To read more about Michael Jordan's championships with the Chicago Bulls, read sports magazines like Sports Illustrated, ESPN the Magazine, Sports Weekly and The Sporting News magazine.

Jordan abruptly retired from basketball at the beginning of the 1993-94 NBA season to pursue a career in baseball. He rejoined the Bulls in 1995 and led them to three additional championships (1996, 1997 and 1998) as well as an NBA-record 72 regular-season wins in the 1995-96 season. Jordan retired for a second time in 1999, but returned for two more NBA seasons in 2001 as a member of the Washington Wizards.

Jordan's individual accolades include five MVP awards, 10 All-NBA First Team designations, nine All-Defensive First Team honors, 14 NBA All-Star Game appearances, three All-Star Game MVP awards, 10 scoring titles, three steals titles, six NBA Finals MVP awards, and the 1988 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award.

He also holds the NBA records for highest career regular-season scoring average (30.12 points per game) and highest career playoff scoring average (33.4 points per game). In 1999, ESPN named him the greatest North American athlete of the 20th century, and was second to Babe Ruth on the Associated Press's list of athletes of the century, which ran in many magazines.

Jordan is also noted for his product endorsements. During his career he was one of the most effectively marketed athletes of his generation. This recognition was instrumental in popularizing the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s.

At the height of his career he was a major spokesman for brands like Nike, Coca-Cola, Chevrolet, McDonald's, Wheaties and Hanes to name a few. A couple of his most-famous commercials include the "Like Mike" commercials for Gatorade and a commercial for his signature shoe, Air Jordan, by Nike, featuring legendary film director Spike Lee.
