DEAR STEEMIT USER, Well on my last post I talked about an inspirational story about me but today i am going to talk about NBA MY FAVORITE PLAYERS AND WHY??

Well sports can be categorized in many forms like for example swimming, hockey,badminton so on and many more.But, why I like basketball simply because of two reasons firstly it is very fun to play. The second reason is because it is very competitive just like soccer and rugby matches.. NBA is actually one of the four major professionals sports among United States and Canada and the true meaning of NBA is actually NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION..And, the number of total team for NBA is 30 which to be said that 29 came from United States and 1 from Canada which is surprising for me!!!
Well what can i say he is a LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!! No one has ever defeated him in the league back in the 90 but i truly believe in him,see it with my own two eyes and have faith in my favorite basketball player and his name is MICHEAL JORDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well ichael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17, 1963) is a professional American basketball player, Olympic athlete, businessperson and actor. Considered one of the best basketball players ever, Michael Jordan dominated the sport from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s. He led the Chicago Bulls to six National Basketball Association championships and earned the NBA's Most Valuable Player Award five times. With five regular-season MVPs and three All-Star MVPs, Jordan became the most decorated player in the NBA.
Basketball player Michael Jordan is 6 feet, 6 inches tall and now he is married with three kids wonderful isn't it? Well,but something horrible happen to him during the year 2006 After 17 years of marriage, the couple divorced in December 2006. It was a bit shocking for him but he still keeps smiling despites the whole situation he is in. In 2007, Michael Jordan’s eldest son, Jeffrey Jordan, made the basketball team at the University of Illinois. Both Michael Jordan and his ex-wife Juanita have supported their son and tried to help him deal with playing in the shadow of an NBA legend.
One of the greatest moment that Micheal Jordan had together with his family and the only son "He wants to be a basketball player, but he wants to do it on his own terms ...The thing that we have tried to tell Jeff is that you set your own expectations. By no means in this world can you ever live up to someone else's expectations of who you are," Michael Jordan said during an appearance on the Today show.
On April 27, 2013, Jordan married 35-year-old Cuban-American model Yvette Prieto in Palm Beach, Florida. Tiger Woods, Spike Lee and Patrick Ewing, among other celebrities, reportedly attended the wedding ceremony. The couple welcomed twin daughters, Victoria and Ysabel, in February 2014.
Professional NBA Career
One of my favorite topic to talk about is his Carrer!!! One day, Jordan left college after his junior year to join the NBA. Drafted by the Chicago Bulls, he soon proved himself on the court. He helped the team make it to the playoffs and scored an average of 28.2 points per game that season. For his efforts, Jordan received the NBA Rookie of the Year Award and was selected for the All-Star Game.
In 1985, Jordan finished his bachelor's degree in geography and continued to play basketball professionally. While his second season was marred by injury, he was breaking new ground on the court during the 1986-1987 season. He became the first player since Wilt Chamberlin to score more than 3,000 points in a single season.By the late 1980s, the Chicago Bulls were quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with, and Jordan was an instrumental part of the team's success. The Bulls made it to the Eastern Conference Finals in 1990 and won their first NBA championship the following year by defeating the Los Angeles Lakers. A rising NBA superstar, Jordan became known for his power and agility on the court as well as for his leadership abilities.
In 1992, the Chicago Bulls beat the Portland Trail Blazers to win their second NBA championship. The team took their third championship the following year, dominating in the basketball world.
Following a short stint in minor league baseball, in March 1995 Jordan returned to the basketball court, rejoining the Chicago Bulls and eventually helping them win the championship against the Seattle Sonics in the 1995-96 season.
The following season Jordan came back even stronger, averaging 30.4 points per game. Starting all 82 games that season, he helped the team finish the regular season with 72 wins and clinch a win in the NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz. The two teams faced each other again for the championships in 1998, and Jordan helped the Bulls beat them for the second year in a row and this is his team..
Well,just right after he retire because of the time pass by like a flash Michael Jordan is perhaps best known for his epic NBA basketball career with the Chicago Bulls. Some of his many amazing accomplishments during his Bulls career including winning six NBA championships and 14 Most Valuable Player awards. However, while Jordan's past glories are still much talked-about, fewer people seem to know what Michael Jordan is doing now. So, let's dive right in.
As it turns out, Jordan (perhaps unsurprisingly) has not ventured far from the sporting world. Jordan is currently the majority owner of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets, a position he's held since 2010. Interestingly, a few years after Jordan became majority owner, he requested to change the team's name from the Bobcats to the Hornets, citing a desire to use the team's historic name — Charlotte was forced to change their name to the Bobcats in 2002 when a former owner moved the Hornets to New Orleans.
While the Hornets have had an up-and-down record under Jordan's ownership, they do have a shot at making the 2017 NBA playoffs, which begin in April. As owner, Jordan has also recently received praise for his work behind-the-scenes. According to Fox Sports, last year Jordan began emerging as an "unforeseen power in the NBA’s labor negotiations"; as a member of both the NBA's Labor Relations Committee and its Competition Committee, Jordan has been a strident advocate for small-market teams and plays a unique role on these committees due to his past as a decorated NBA player.
Beyond his ownership of the Hornets, Jordan is also still heavily involved with sporting brand endorsement deals, many of which are incredibly lucrative. For example, Nike's Jordan brand, which sells basketball shoes and other apparel, is immensely successful. Jordan's deal with Nike and several other partners net him approximately $100 million per year, which is, ironically, more money than he made cumulatively during his 15 years playing for the NBA (though, of course, this does not take inflation into account). Indeed, Jordan's endorsement deals are so successful that he recently made Forbes' "World's Billionaires" list; the former Chicago Bull was included on both the 2015 and 2016 lists.
He will always be my HERO and one day i will catch up through him!
