Jordan 12.5

Although it has been retired for several years, Michael Jordan is still considered the best basketball player to ever play the game. Its influence is felt not only in the way the game was played, but also in how it is perceived around the world. Ultimately, his excellence at his sport was instrumental in catapulting the popularity of basketball and the National Basketball Association around the world during the eighties and nineties. Beyond all this, Jordan is also a force marketing and was hands down the most successfully marketed athlete of his generation and possibly all time. In 1999, Jordan was named by ESPN as "the best athlete of the 20th century."

Jordan retired from the NBA after 15 seasons, during which he established a number of records prestige. His 30.12 points per game average is the highest in NBA history. Also won six NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls and was the MVP of the Finals NBA whenever he claimed the championship. In addition, Jordan has been the top scorer in the NBA for 10 seasons and was the MVP of the league five times. He was also named to the NBA First Team 10 times, the All-Defensive First Team nine times aside from leading the NBA in steals in three years. The Associated Press also was ranked as the second to Babe Ruth as athlete of the century.

Jordan's magic on the basketball court was evident from the first time he stepped on a court NBA rookie in 1985. He announced the complete package – a dazzling collection of mates, the fierce defense and the amazing ability to score anytime he wanted. His ability to jump quickly exceeded expectations and won colorful nicknames as "Air Jordan" and Airness "Your". In a playoff game against Boston Celtics in 1986, Jordan scored a record 63 points, leading the league reigning MVP Larry Bird to proclaim that he was "God disguised of Michael Jordan. "

The media have described a number of players as "the next Michael Jordan" upon entering the NBA, including such renowned hoopsters as Grant Hill, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter, who have fallen short of its high turnover. The last to earn the nickname is LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, but have a long way to go before they can earn the right to be called the next Jordan.
