After coming out of retirement in 2001, Michael decided to donate his 2001 salary, a reported $1 million, to agencies working with the families of the victims of 9/11 in New York, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania.
Jordan is best known for his dominant years with the Chicago Bulls, but he ended his career with two somewhat underwhelming (for him) seasons with the Washington Wizards.
On June 15, 2006, Jordan bought a minority stake in the Charlotte Bobcats (now known as the Hornets). As part of the deal, Jordan took full control over the basketball side of the operation. In 2010, he bought a controlling interest, making him the league's only African-American majority owner of an NBA team.
Scottie Pippen finished his Bulls career with 2,534 personal fouls, edging out Jerry Sloan (2,524) and Michael Jordan (2,493).
With ten seconds left in the game, the Tune Squad are down by one point and one player, due to most of the team being injured from the Monstars' rough style of play. Bill Murray unexpectedly arrives and is recruited to fill the spot. In the final seconds, Jordan gains the ball with Murray's help but is pulled back by the Monstars. Remembering advice from Bugs Bunny, he uses cartoon physics to extend his arm and dunk the ball, winning the match.
