Personal profile
General profile of Michael Jordan, a central NBA figure and protagonist of two very different stages: the Chicago Bulls dynasty and his final return with the Washington Wizards.
Profile and career
Jordan left more than a historic collection of championships and awards. He also built two clearly defined chapters in his career: competitive brilliance in Chicago and a final stage in Washington, already a living basketball legend.
Chicago Bulls
With the Bulls he reached his most dominant form: six championships, two three-peats, five regular-season MVP awards and an image inseparable from the NBA of the 1990s. This was the explosive, decisive and fiercely competitive Jordan who turned Chicago into a historic powerhouse and made number 23 a worldwide symbol.
Washington Wizards
In Washington another side appeared: the veteran who returned out of competitive passion and love for the game. Without the physical freshness of his best years, he still filled arenas, kept the entire league interested and produced high-level moments that added a final chapter to his professional career.
