During his career, Jordan earned NBA All-Defensive First-Team honors nine times. He also won the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year during the 1987-88 season.

Terry Francona was his manager in BHam, and says MJ wouldve made it up to the majors in 3 years. Maybe he was just being nice but its worth noting.
Probably just being nice. 3 years would have had him making his major league debut when he was in his mid-late 30s (can't recall if he was playing baseball at 32 or 35).

Jordan, for instance, batted .276 in August. After his season in Double A, Jordan hit a very respectable .252 in the Arizona Fall League, a developmental league for the top prospects in each organization. (Mike Trout hit .245 in the AFL in 2011, his third pro season.)
quote:
Jordan totaled 51 runs batted in, 51 walks and 30 stolen bases. How impressive is that combination? Over the previous four seasons, there have been 1,218 player/years in the White Sox organization, majors and minors included. None of them reached the thresholds of RBIs, walks and stolen bases that marked Jordan’s year at Birmingham.
Take a longer view to further appreciate what Jordan did in his first year in pro ball. Over the past 30 seasons (1990–2019), there were roughly 8,000 player/years in the White Sox organization. Among all those yearly statistical lines, which include combined minor league stats for players at multiple levels, Jordan is one of only nine players to reach 51 RBIs, 51 walks and 30 stolen bases. Five of those nine players reached the big leagues.
He did far more than the a huge number of life time baseball players in one year of pro ball. That is quite remarkable.

MJ never once spray painted racist graffiti on his own property in an attempt to gain attention.

Lazy take. I presume you watched basketball during this time? If you did, you don’t know basketball

MJ once lost a round of "Quarters Against the Wall" to a security guard named John Wozniak. He then came from behind to not only beat John, but took John's money, pants, glasses, siderarm, wife, and ultimately his hair. #legend

He was 0-6 vs Bird in the playoffs, and 11-23 all time.

This is pure fact, how can it even be a take? He was 1-9 in the playoffs without Pippen, end of story. And yes, I watched every bit of his career from UNC on.
