Impact
Michael Jordan and the "Dream Team" helped make basketball a world wide phenomenon. The team gave birth to future stars like Tony Parker, Dirk Nowitzki, and Serge Ibaka. However, as an individual Jordan impacted the game through his hard work and play style. Big time dunks, 360 layups, fadeaway jumpers, and dominating the game without being a big man. Jordan even brought in the baggy shorts so he could wear his North Carolina shorts under his Chicago Bulls shorts. All these things combined helped Michael Jordan change the game and influence people to play the game. He is a standard by which all great players are compared to.
