MJ will do whatever it takes to win. Even in a card game with an elderly woman. When North Carolina teammate Buzz Peterson once had Michael Jordan over to his house to play cards with his mother, Jordan was caught cheating. Looks like Michael wanted to win the card game too bad.

Jordan: The man who became larger than the game

The Chicago Bulls selected Jordan third overall in the legendary 1984 NBA Draft. Other members from his draft class include Hall of Famers Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, and John Stockton, among others. Even as a rookie, Jordan quickly became the heart and soul of the Chicago Bulls. He won the Rookie of the Year in 1985 and by his third year had taken the league by storm.

Michael was an unstoppable force. He was an offensive assassin who could take over a game whenever he wanted to. And on the defensive side, we could guard the other team’s best player after scoring a basket on them. But he couldn’t find team and playoff success until Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson joined him in Chicago towards the end of the 80s.

Jordan and the Bulls would go on to dominate the decade of the 90s. They would win 6 NBA Championships in two different three-peats. Michael won 6 NBA Finals MVPs and 5 regular season MVPs with the Bulls. Let us know in the comments below your favorite Jordan memory.
