Jordan's sporting world stretches beyond basketball
Michael Jordan hangs up his NBA boots and BBC Sport's Paul Birch investigates his incredible influence throughout the sporting world. He was probably one of those kids in the school playground that all the other kids hated. While his mates struggled to get to grips with American football and any number of other games, up-stepped Master Jordan to excel at any anything he tried his hand at. Of course, he's a basketball legend and his name and face are recognised across the planet. He's even got shoes named after him.
But he's had more than his fair share of fame in other sports too. He's played baseball at a high level, and he's also pretty handy with a golf club. And there are most of us who can't even master one sport. It's not fair is it? Jordan is truly an all-round sportsman, with his fitness, talent and will to win an example to one and all. Click on the buttons above to find out how - after suffering a number of personal problems - he took on the world of baseball and golf.
