Michael Jordan Air Jordan, Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17, 1963) is a former American professional basketball player, active entrepreneur, and majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats.

His biography on the National Basketball Association (NBA) website states, “By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time.” Jordan was one of the most effectively marketed athletes of his generation and was considered instrumental in popularizing the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s.

After a three-season career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was a member of the Tar Heels’ national championship team in 1982, Jordan joined the NBA’s Chicago Bulls in 1984.

He quickly emerged as a league star, entertaining crowds with his prolific scoring. His leaping ability, illustrated by performing slam dunks from the free throw line in slam dunk contests, earned him the nicknames “Air Jordan” and “His Airness”. 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, securing a “three-peat”. Although 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 NBA season. Jordan retired for a second time in 1999, but returned for two more NBA seasons from 2001 to 2003 as a member of the Washington Wizards.

Michael Jordan Birthday

Michael Jordan Birthday, At some point in time (or even still) we’ve all wanted to be like Mike.  After all, Michael Jordan is a six time NBA champion, two time Olympic gold medalist, one of the highest earning athletes in history and considered the greatest basketball player of all time. And although he retired from the NBA in 2003 (for the third time), Jordan is still living the dream.

The legendary athlete’s Air Jordan sneakers continue to cause small riots, he is still raking in the dough with brand endorsements and he recently popped the question to model Yvette Prieto (she said yes!)

And while Jordan continues to score off the court–he sadly gets no points for personal style.

In fact, there is an entire Tumblr page dedicated to Jordan’s fashion faux pas, which include but are not limited to: ripped jeans, zoot suits, suede blazers and anything that’s two sizes too big.

In celebration of Jordan’s 49th birthday, here’s a look at some of his most, er, interesting fashion choices.
