Michael Jordan was born in Brooklyn, New York, after his dad finished schooling, about a year later his family moved to moved to Wilmington, North Carolina. Michael played both baseball and basketball during his youth, but the surprising thing is that

People may think that we put too much on the fact that Jordan transcended the game, I think not. You can compare his charisma to Muhammad Ali in boxing, except Jordan was less threatening and kids were more likely to look up to Jordan. Jordan was not real big with the issues though, he was more into just playing the game and giving it 110 percent. When Jordan first came in to the league the NBA, it was about to go under. He may not have won a Championship his first eight years but he did something more important, he brought a certain excitement to the league. People now had somebody to root for who was an exciting all around great player. He was very influential in the advertising business.

Some of his individual season career highs are 69 points in a game, 18 rebounds in a game, 17 assists a game, 10 steals in a game, and 6 blocks in a game. These numbers are just too much to argue with.
