Michael Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York, one of James and Deloris Jordan's five children.

His style of play and fierce spirit of competition reminded sportswriters and fans of Julius Erving (1950–), who had been a superstar player during the 1970s. Jordan's incredible leaping ability and hang time thrilled fans in arenas around the league. In his first season he was named to the All-Star team and was later honored as the league's Rookie of the Year'
