Michael Jordan

Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17 1963, in Brooklyn, New York) is a former American National Basketball Association player, and is considered by many to be the greatest basketball player of all time.

Collegiate career

Jordan earned a basketball scholarship with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As a freshman, Jordan was an exciting but not dominant player. Nonetheless, he made the winning shot in the 1982 NCAA championship game against Georgetown, led by future NBA rival Patrick Ewing. He was selected by the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the 1984 NBA Draft as the third pick overall.
