Michael Jordan
1963-, American basketball player, b. Brooklyn, N.Y.


As a freshman(estudiante de primer año) at the Univ. of North Carolina, he made the shot(tiro) that won the 1982 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) tournament(torneo) final over Georgetown.

Joining the Chicago Bulls of the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 1984, he was the 1985 Rookie of the Year(mejor jugador de primer año) and developed into the outstanding(sobresaliente) guard(escolta) of the late 1980s and the 1990s. From 1991 to 1993, Jordan led(lideró) the Bulls to three NBA championships. In 1993 he announced his retirement, saying he had achieved(logrado) all his goals(metas) in basketball, and began a second career(carrera) as a baseball player.

After two unspectacular(poco destacados) years in the minor-league(liga menor) system of the Chicago White Sox, however, he returned to the NBA early in 1995, and in 1996-98 he led the Bulls to three more championships. In 1999 he retired again. The following year he became(se convirtió) a part owner(propietario) of the NBA's Washington Wizards, but in 2001 sold his share(acciones) of the team and signed with the Wizards and played for two seasons(temporadas).    

Noted especially for his leaping ability(capacidad de salto), the 6 ft 6 in. (198 cm) Jordan is widely(ampliamente) considered the greatest(más grande) basketball player ever. The NBA career leader in scoring average(media de puntos), he was the league's leading scorer each year from 1986 to 1993 and 1996 to 1998, for a record ten titles, and is third on the all-time(de todos los tiempos) points list. Jordan also starred(fue la estrella) for the 1984, 1992, and 1996 U.S. Olympic teams. Known as “Air Jordan” or “His Airness,” he is a global celebrity, and his commercial endorsements(aprobaciones, respaldos) and investments(inversiones) have made him the world's wealthiest athlete.
