Happy Birthday Michael Jordan! Lets have a look at his best moments in NBA history
The 17th of February should be a national holiday because it commemorates the birth of one of the best things that ever happened to the NBA, a man named Michael Jeffrey Jordan, the G.O.A.T., the legend, the real Magic Mike. Jordan is 59 years old today.
Jordan has never been out of the spotlight in the NBA, but he became a talking point again in the first months of 2020, when the documentary The Last Dance was published on Netflix, detailing how the 1997-98 season, his final with the Chicago Bulls, was the most important of his career.

Jordan is now the owner of the Charlotte Hornets and spends most of his time on the court, but he once made millions of people across the world fall in love with the NBA. These are some of his most memorable moments.
Jordan’s best NBA moments
When he represented the United States in the 1984 Olympic Games
It is not enough to be good; you must be exceptional and give your all to be a part of the team that represents your country. Michael received this accolade twice: the first time at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, and the second time in Barcelona in 1992… the United States won gold in both games.
6 Championship Rings
Michael first joined the Chicago Bulls in 1984, and the club quickly became unstoppable. They were champions for six years in a row, beginning in 1991 and ending in 1998, when Michael announced his second retirement in 1999.
