Pre-bio:
Michael Jeffery Jordan is an American basketball legend who played for the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards for 15 seasons. Jordan was born on February 17, 1963 in Brooklyn, New York and grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina. In high school he played baseball, football, and basketball. When he first applied to the varsity team as a sophomore, he didn’t make it because of his height, which at the time was 5 ft 10 in. Over the summer, he grew by 4 inches and trained very hard to make it to the team at the next trials. He was selected and proved his worth with an outstanding average over his final two seasons. In his senior year of high school, he was selected to the McDonald’s All-American Team after scoring a triple-double, that is scoring double digit points in 3 out of 5 categories. Several colleges offered him basketball scholarships and he eventually chose to go to North Carolina university, majoring in cultural geography.

He's long retired, correct? Correct. He has retired 3 times from the NBA. He retired in 93 and went to play MLB, came back from 95-98 then retired again. He came back to the NBA from 01-03 then retired for the last time. |

There isn't any proof this is true or false. Yes, he has a history of gambling. Some people believed when he retired for the first time in 93 it was actually a "secret suspension" but the NBA commissioner always denied it. |

I never believed any of the gambling rumors and they're none of my business. He's a great man of black history.

Michael Jordan was my absolute hero growing up. Me and my friends used to argue during driveway basketball games about who got to be Michael Jordan when we played.
Now that I'm adult, I find Michael Jordan the man kind of a jerk. He seems extremely unappreciative of everything, holds petty grudges, and never ever communicates with the fans or the city of Chicago.
