Born Feb. 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, N.Y., he moved months later with his family to North Carolina. Jordan attended the University of North Carolina, where he was two-time National Player of the Year for a team that won the NCAA championship in 1982 on his game-winning shot. He played for the U.S. Olympic men's basketball gold medal-winning teams in 1984 and 1992, and in 1984 he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls. He became one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history, finishing his career with a scoring average of 30.12 per game, the most ever. He holds the league record for scoring championships with 10, including seven straight. Jordan was the NBA Most Valuable Player five times and Most Valuable Player in the NBA Finals six times. He holds the playoff scoring record of 63 points against the Boston Celtics, set April 20, 1986. Jordan led the Bulls to six NBA championships, three between 1991 and 1993 before retiring for the first time after his father was murdered. He played professional baseball for one season in the Chicago White Sox minor-league system and then returned to the NBA to lead the Bulls to three more championships, including a best ever 72-10 regular season record in 1995-96.
