<< 1984 1985 1986 >> -------------------- July 07, 2004 Michael Jordan: 1984-85 Rookie of the year
Born: February 17, 1963, Brooklyn, New York, USA. College: North Carolina NBA start: Selected 3rd overall by Chicago. Size: height:6'6" weight: 195lbs Stats: gp:82 - mpg:38.3 - ppg:28.2 - rpg:6.5 - apg:5.9 - fg%:51.5 - ft%:84.5 Team standing: 38-44, 3rd in Central division. Lost to Milwaukee in first round 3-1. Comments: Became one of the most recognizable athletes on the planet, if not the most. Though there was players who won more (Bill Russell) and dominated more (Wilt Chamberlain) none of them had his combination of winning and dominance of the adversary and the league. That distinction earned him the title of the greatest player ever. Nicknamed Air Jordan for his aerial skills, and Money for his last minute clutch plays. He goes down as the only player (as of yet) who directly ran a ball club's every single aspects, from the front office decisions to player movements, while with the Wizards from 2001 to 2003. The player-president. -------------------- << 1984 1985 1986 >> Back to rookies list Back to NBA almanac |
