Michael Jordan
1963-, American basketball player, b. Brooklyn, N.Y.

As a freshman^{(estudiante
de primer año)} at the Univ. of North Carolina, he made the shot^(tiro)that won the 1982 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) tournament^(torneo) final over Georgetown.

Joining the Chicago Bulls of the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 1984, he was the 1985 Rookie of the Year^{(mejor
jugador de primer año)} and developed into the outstanding^{(sobresaliente)} guard^(escolta) of the late 1980s and the 1990s. From 1991 to 1993, Jordan led^(lideró) the Bulls to three NBA championships. In 1993 he announced his retirement, saying he had achieved^(logrado) all his goals^(metas) in basketball, and began a second career^(carrera) as a baseball player.

After two unspectacular^{(poco
destacados)} years in the minor-league^{(liga
menor)} system of the Chicago White Sox, however, he returned to the NBA early in 1995, and in 1996-98 he led the Bulls to three more championships. In 1999 he retired again. The following year he became^{(se
convirtió)}a part owner^{(propietario)} of the NBA's Washington Wizards, but in 2001 sold his share^(acciones) of the team and signed with the Wizards and played for two seasons^(temporadas).

Noted especially for his leaping ability^{(capacidad
de salto)}, the 6 ft 6 in. (198 cm) Jordan is widely^{(ampliamente)} considered the greatest^{(más
grande)} basketball player ever. The NBA career leader in scoring average^{(media
de puntos)}, he was the league's leading scorer each year from 1986 to 1993 and 1996 to 1998, for a record ten titles, and is third on the all-time^{(de todos los
tiempos)} points list. Jordan also starred^{(fue
la estrella)} for the 1984, 1992, and 1996 U.S. Olympic teams. Known as “Air Jordan” or “His Airness,” he is a global celebrity, and his commercial endorsements^{(aprobaciones,
respaldos)} and investments^{(inversiones)} have made him the world's wealthiest athlete.
