Jordan loves to give back

The five-time NBA MVP first supported Make-A-Wish back in 1989 when he was still playing for the Chicago Bulls.

Jordan has been one of the organization’s ardent supporters, granting hundreds of wishes to kids all over the world. He also remains one of Make-A-Wish's requested celebrity wish-granters.

The Space Jam star was named Make-A-Wish Chief Wish Ambassador back in 2008, with the organization highlighting the life-changing impacts the NBA legend has had on wish kids and their families.

Jordan added that he can’t think of a better birthday gift than seeing others join him in supporting the foundation.

He had an incredible basketball career, winning six NBA titles, five NBA MVP awards, six NBA Finals MVP awards, 14 NBA All-Star selections, 10 scoring titles, and one NCAA championship, among other accolades.

The Hall of Famer has been the governor of the Hornets since 2010.
