About Michael Jordan

Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six championships in the 1990s, winning Finals MVP in every one, and turned the Air Jordan line into a brand bigger than most sports leagues.

The cut that made him unstoppable

As a 5-foot-10 sophomore at Laney High in Wilmington, Jordan was left off the varsity roster -- the coach needed height and kept a 6-foot-7 classmate instead. Stung, Jordan starred on the JV team and practiced in the school gym before class every morning, then grew to 6-foot-3 over the summer and made varsity. By 1982, a freshman at North Carolina, he calmly hit the championship-winning jumper in the NCAA final. The rest is six-ring history.

Six rings, never a Game 7

Six trips to the NBA Finals with the Bulls, six championships, six Finals MVPs -- and never once did those Finals reach a Game 7. Jordan retired with the highest scoring average in league history at 30.1 points per game, a record 10 scoring titles, five MVP awards and two Olympic golds, including the 1992 Dream Team. The finale was 'The Last Shot': his title-winning jumper over Utah with 5.2 seconds left in Game 6 of the 1998 Finals.

The biggest gift in Make-A-Wish history

For his 60th birthday in February 2023, Jordan gave Make-A-Wish America $10 million -- the largest donation from an individual in the charity's history, capping more than three decades of personally granting kids' wishes. Closer to home, he has given $17 million to Novant Health to open four Michael Jordan Family Medical Clinics in Charlotte and Wilmington, bringing care to uninsured and underinsured patients in the North Carolina communities where he grew up.
