Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1963, Michael Jordan was a sporting wunderkind who dabbled in football, baseball and basketball in his high-school years. His talent dazzled crowds during his first NBA season as a rookie, and he quickly became a fan favourite. His career would unfold from strength to strength, even despite two retirements (and a stint in minor league baseball!): these were countered by eventual triumphant returns. He finally walked away from the court in 2003 a six-time NBA Champion and dual Olympic gold medallist. His trademark leap is said to have inspired a generation of children to take up the sport.
