Michael Jordan
Today is the 51st birthday of Michael Jordan (PeekYou profile here), widely regarded, with little contention, as the greatest basketball player of not just his era, but of all time.

First gaining national attention while playing for the University of North Carolina, including as a member of their 1982 championship team, Jordan was drafted by the NBA’s Chicago Bulls in 1984. He quickly distinguished himself via his prolific scoring and gravity-defying dunks.

Topping even Babe Ruth and Muhammad Ali on ESPN‘s list of the Greatest Athletes of the 20th Century, his numerous career achievements include five MVP Awards, 10 All-NBA First Team designations, 14 NBA All-Star Game appearances, three All-Star Game MVP Awards, 10 scoring titles, six NBA Finals MVP Awards, and the 1988 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award.

The term “living legend” seldom is employed to describe someone with less hyperbole or controversy.
