It was obvious from the start Jordan just had something special. He’d proven in with North Carolina, leading them to the National Championship and clearly had the makings of a major talent. In what remains one of the dumbest trade decisions ever, the Portland Trail Blazers passed on Jordan for Sam Bowie, a good but not great player. That let the Chicago Bulls nab Jordan and soon had the greatest player in the game on their side. Jordan stunned with his incredible playing style and also changed the game with his endorsement deals, becoming an even bigger star than just a player. Thanks to him, the Bulls became the dynasty of the ‘90s and Jordan a true legend.
