Michael Jordan Quiz – The Greatest of His Era

Michael Jordan is widely considered one of the greatest basketball players ever. Born in Brooklyn in 1963 and raised in Wilmington, North Carolina, he made the game-winning shot for the University of North Carolina in the 1982 national championship game. Two years later the Chicago Bulls picked him third in the NBA Draft.

In Chicago he became a global star. With coach Phil Jackson and teammate Scottie Pippen, he won three straight titles from 1991 to 1993. He then shocked fans by retiring to play minor league baseball for the Birmingham Barons, before announcing I'm back in 1995 and winning three more titles. He was Finals MVP all six times.

Off the court, Jordan changed sports business. The Air Jordan shoe, first released by Nike in 1985, became a cultural icon. He starred in Space Jam, won Olympic gold with the 1992 Dream Team and later became the majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets. The Last Dance documentary introduced his story to a new generation in 2020.
