Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan is a former NBA star who won six championships and six NBA Finals MVP awards with the Chicago Bulls. His skills and competitiveness on the court helped him notch achievements that cemented his status as one of the best players of all time. He’s now the chairman of the Charlotte Hornets.
During his sophomore year of high school, he tried out for the varsity basketball team, but he didn’t make the cut. He instead became the star of the junior varsity team and landed a spot on varsity the following year. He went on to play for the North Carolina Tar Heels in college and hit the winning basket in the 1982 NCAA Championship game.
