Many will argue that Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. He played 15 seasons in the NBA and won six championships with the Chicago Bulls. His ability to effortlessly glide through the air and slam a ball through a net earned him the nickname “Air Jordan.” This led to a line of sneakers that helped make him a billionaire. Michael stepped away from the game more than 20 years ago, but plans to come back for the 2025-2026 season in a big way.
