Which Jordan’s jerseys sell better NBA or MLB?

I believe all people over the world know Micheal Jordan, because he is an excelent player on NBA,and was called “Air Jordan”. Even though he retired for good in 2003, people all over the world continue to recognize. He not only play basketball,but also baseball. Many businessman make his products for sale,like jerseys,shoes,Tshirt and etc.
Micheal Jordan’s NBA jerseys is the most popular,but is his MLB jerseys sell so good as NBA jerseys? I think this should depend on his carrier. Let’s see his basketball and baseball carrier.

Jordan with NBA
Jordan’s playing days started at Emsley A. Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina. His family had moved from New York to North Carolina when he was seven. Jordan kept busy by playing not only basketball but also football and baseball. He tried out for the varsity basketball team as a sophomore, but was declared too short at 5’11”. However, over the summer Jordan grew four inches and worked hard to get his body in condition. He went on to average at least 25 points per game in his final two years of high school. During his senior year, Jordan was elected to the McDonald’s All-American team after averaging a triple-double for the entire year: 29.2 points, 10.1 assists, and 11.6 rebounds.

After high school, Jordan accepted a scholarship to play basketball at the University of North Carolina. He had a breakout freshman year averaging over 13 points per game and being named ACC Freshman of the Year. This year also contained what Jordan himself calls the major turning point of his career. In the 1982 NCAA Championship Game, Jordan hit the game-winning shot against the Georgetown Hoyas. But despite all this success as a freshman, Jordan was still overshadowed by teammate and future Hall-of-Famer, James Worthy. Jordan broke out in a big way, however, his junior year when he won both the Wooden and Naismith College Player of the Year Awards and helped the USA Basketball Team capture gold at the 1984 Olympic Games. Jordan decided to skip his senior year at UNC and entered the NBA Draft. Professional basketball would never be the same.

Micheal Jordan was selected with the third overall pick in the 1984 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls. It is worthy to note that the Portland Trail Blazers decided to pick Sam Bowie with the second overall pick, which is considered by many to be the worst pick in the NBA’s history. Jordan started with a bang and never let up. He averaged 28.2 points per game as a rookie, was named Rookie of the Year, and was voted as a starter on the All-Star team. This was only the beginning to one of the most prolific careers in NBA history. Jordan went on to lead the league in scoring ten times, including the 1986 - 1987 season when he averaged 37.1 points per game and became only the second player to score 3,000 points in a season. He led the Bulls to win six NBA Championships, was voted the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player six times, was named the NBA Most Valuable Player five times, and was voted an NBA All-Star 14 times.

Jordan with MLB
Jordan was also famous for the fact that he retired from basketball on two different occasions. The first “retirement” came in 1993. Jordan claims it was due to the murder of his father, with whom Jordan was very close. Jordan decided to give baseball a shot to honor his late father; however, baseball did not turn out very well for Jordan. He had a very unsuccessful minor league career and decided to return to basketball in early 1995. The second “retirement” occurred in 1999 after yet another spectacular Finals performance, which would have been a fitting end to a spectacular career. He then returned to basketball in 2000 as part owner and President of Basketball Operations for the Washington Wizards. In 2001, Jordan decided to make yet another comeback to the NBA, but this time with his Wizards. Jordan played for two more years and during his last year “Air Jordan” was honored at nearly every arena he visited.

To complete with his baseball games, we can see that he plays better on NBA. Because he brought enormous talent, beauty, work ethic, and excitement to the game of basketball. Therefore,his NBA jerseys sell better than MLB jerseys.
