When you thought UNC legend [autotag]Michael Jordan[/autotag] had done it all, he added another honor to his resume as he became one of eight players named to the Chicago Bulls’s first-ever Ring of Honor.
The long overdue class includes many of Jordan’s teammates, like Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and Toni Kukoč. Jerry Sloan, Bob Love, Chet Walker and Artis Gilmore.
Mimicking the clutch shooting success from his UNC days, Jordan blossomed into a superstar while playing for the Chicago Bulls. His six-for-six record in the finals (all with Chicago) is often what fans use when the greatest of all-time debate comes up.
Legends are FOREVER.
