Overview

Whatever you call him, Michael Jeffrey Jordan can be considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time. During his career, Jordan won six NBA championships and was a fourteen-time All-Star, five-time NBA MVP, and six-time NBA Finals MVP. To say Jordan was dominant during his career would be a severe understatement.

Now for the first time ever, hear stories from opponents, teammates, and players about what it was like to go against MJ in Facing Michael Jordan. You will hear stories from such All-Stars as:

Charles Barkley
Hubie Brown
Robert Parish
Terry Porter
Jeff Van Gundy
And many more!
From the moment that Jordan stepped onto the court, he dominated the game of basketball. No matter who comes around today or tomorrow, Jordan’s name and the number 23 will resonate with basketball fans for all eternity.
