Michael Jordan was the dominant basketball player in the world during the 1990s. He won the NBA's Most Valuable Player award five times, and six times led the Chicago Bulls to the league championship. Jordan led the Bulls to his first three championships came in 1991, 1992 and 1993 with superb shooting and playmaking and a competitive killer instinct. In October of 1993 he stunned his fans by retiring from basketball and beginning a professional baseball career, saying that playing baseball had been an early dream of his. He played the 1994 baseball season for the minor league Birmingham Barons. In March of 1995 he ended his baseball career and returned to the Bulls. With Jordan, the Bulls won three more championships in 1996, 1997 and 1998. He retired from basketball in 1999. In the year 2000 he became a part owner and executive for the NBA's Washington Wizards. In 2001 Jordan began considering another comeback as an NBA player, and that fall, at age 38, he returned once again to play for the Wizards. He played for two more full seasons, retiring again in April of 2003.
Extra credit: Jordan wore uniform number 23... His endorsement deal with Nike led to the creation of Air Jordans, the popular athletic shoe... Jordan's wife of 12 years, Juanita, filed for divorce in 2002, but the couple later reconciled... Jordan starred with Bugs Bunny in the 1996 feature film Space Jam.

Not coming from the US, I had no idea who this guy was until I checked him out in Wiki.
Obviously the guy is well known in the USA, but the question is somewhat valid when it comes to other countries who have their own heroes and don't/shouldn't automatically known some foreign sports star; especially in a sport that is not even popular.
"Thanks for your generous feedback?? Just because someone is a hero in one country doesn't make them a national hero in others. There's more to the world than American sports. In fact I'd say that the countries I've lived in that US Sports don't even figure on the radar. BTW, my hero is Nathan Buckley. Go find that on your Wiki."

He is the best basketball player. When people think of baseball they think of Babe Ruth and when it comes to basketball it Michael Jordon.

Who was he? Last time I checked a basketball player. He also endorses many companies and I believe he has one of his own.
