built 645 days ago
These are just a few of the many true facts about Jordan. Michael Jeffrey Jordan was born on Feb. 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, N.Y. He grew up and went to high school there. His father was James Jordan and his mother was Deloris Jordan. Michael’s first part time job was at a hotel as a maintenance worker. Jordan’s shoe size is 13. One of his favorite movies is "The Matrix."

On July 21, 2006, a Cook County, Illinois, judge determined that Jordan did not owe a former lover, Karla Knafel $5 million. Knafel said Jordan promised her that amount for remaining silent and agreeing not to file a paternity suit after Knafel learned she was pregnant in 1991. A DNA test showed Jordan was not the father of the child. Knafel's attorney, Michael Hannafan, said his client ... will appeal this latest ruling.

Jordan says his mother, Delores, and his late father were his biggest role models — hardworking, generous and disciplined. He says fans should look closer to home for inspiration, rather than looking to big name athletes for direction.

Unlike many divorced fathers, Jordan will probably come out of all of this relatively unscathed. He'll lose a lot of money, but he'll probably still have plenty left. And Juanita is probably too good a mother (or would be too embarrassed) to try to block Jordan's visitation rights.

In 1993, tragedy struck Jordan's seemingly perfect life. On July 23, 1993, his father, James, was murdered off Interstate 95 in North Carolina. Two locals had robbed him, shot him in the chest and threw his body in a swamp.
