In the draft, the Chicago Bulls picked Jordan third overall. Jordan’s impact on the NBA (National Basketball Association) was legendary.

After sitting out much of the 1985-1986 season because of a foot injury. In the 1986-1987 season, he averaged an unheard of 37.1 points per game.

From making spectacularly unimaginable shots, to winning slam-dunk contents, the high-flying, tongue-wagging Jordan soon became the most popular athlete in the world. Intimidating and extremely competitive, he had a knack for hitting game winning shots and playing tenacious defense. He established marketing deals with some of the world’s largest companies such as Nike, Haines, Gatorade, McDonalds, Wheaties, and MCI. Nike’s Air Jordan shoe line became one of the most popular of all time. Other commercials, such as those starring him alongside movie producer Spike Lee were also very successful. He even starred in the Disney film “Space Jam”.

The original Air Jordan I sneaker was produced for Jordan in 1984, and released to the public in 1985. The shoes were designed for Nike by Peter Moore, Tinker Hatfield, and Bruce Kilgore.

In 1994, Michael pursued his dream of playing baseball. He played for the Birmingham Barons, a minor league affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. On January 13th 1999, with seemingly nothing more to prove or accomplish, Michael Jordan retired for a second time. Despite his retirement, Jordan could not let go of his competitive urges.
