It's Jordan. We don't have to justify selecting the best athlete ever as our "Man of the Week".
why is he famous?
Where to begin, six (count 'em 6) NBA championships, more regular season and playoff MVP awards than we can count. Offense, defense he did it all. He owns more records than Imelda Marcos owns shoes! Not to mention having his own line of shoes -- what young man didn't want a pair of Air Jordans at some point in his life!
