Fleet News Daily Names Michael Jordan “Top Fleet” Performer of All Time

fleetnewsdaily | February 16, 2013

Exclusive to Fleet News Daily: He’s known by multiple names: “MJ,” “23,” “His Airness,” and simply “Michael.” But in the hearts and minds of basketball fans around the world, he’s best thought of as “The Greatest That Every Played the Game.” Period.

With all due respect to LeBron and Kobe, Larry and Magic, Kareem and Bill Russell, MJ is at the top of the pyramid.

Unmatched in his focus, ferocity, grace, intensity, clutch-playing and sheer audacity, Michael Jeffrey Jordan is absolutely the “Top Fleet-Footed Performer” of all time.

Numbers tell only part of the tale, but consider these:

5 NBA MVP wards
10 All-NBA First Team Designations
9 NBA All-Defensive First Team Honors
14 NBA All-Star Game Appearances
3 NBA All-Star Game MVP Awards
10 Scoring Titles
6 NBA Final Appearances
6 NBA Final Trophies
6 NBA Finals MVP Awards
2 Olympic Gold Medals

Oh, by the way, he also helped North Carolina win a national championship in 1982.

But perhaps his greatest legacy will ultimately be his absolute passion and love for his profession: Professional Basketball Player. And for that, we salute you Michael as you turn 50.

You continue to inspire legions of fans and players, workers and strivers, students and seniors.

After all these years, many of us still want nothing more than: to be like Mike.
