ESPN Honoring MJ

September 9, 2009

With Chicago Bulls great Michael Jordan set to enter the Basketball Hall of Fame, ESPN is counting down the 23 most memorable moments of No. 23’s career.  Even if Jordan had never returned from his baseball sabbatical to win three more championships, he still would have been a lock to enter the Hall.  Jordan is considered by most to be the best player to ever step on a basketball court.  While that’s debatable considering different eras and positions, it’s undeniable that he revolutionized the game and brought a competitive fire that we’ve never seen since.

Jordan was the NBA when he played.  People thought of Michael Jordan the second they heard the word “basketball.”  He rose to the moment on the biggest occasions and hit more big shots than anyone else in the history of the game.  His game-winning shot against Cleveland in 1989 began his legacy of being one of the most clutch players in sports history and he never let up.  Winning six titles in six NBA Finals appearances is incredibly impressive.  It was almost as if Jordan just wouldn’t let his team lose when they reached that level.  Sure, he had some great teammates and a great coach, but it’s hard to argue against Jordan being the best there ever was.
