Michael Jordan, a name synonymous with basketball excellence, began his illustrious NBA career with the Chicago Bulls in 1984. His tenure with the Bulls is marked by extraordinary achievements and unforgettable moments that have cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. Known for his remarkable leaping ability and his prowess in both scoring and defense, Jordan earned the monikers “Air Jordan” and “His Airness” through his spectacular performances, including his famous slam dunks from the free throw line during Slam Dunk Contests.
