Which Chicago Bulls great entered the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009?
Five-time MVP Michael Jordan headed a list of superstars inducted Friday into the Basketball Hall of Fame. David Robinson, John Stockton, Jerry Sloan and Vivian Stringer joined Jordan in receiving their sport’s top honor. “The game of basketball has been everything to me,” Jordan said at the induction banquet. “It has been my refuge, my place that I have always gone when I need comfort and peace. “It has been a relationship that has evolved over time. It has provided me with a platform to share my passion with millions. I hope it has given the millions that watched me the courage to follow their dreams.” Jordan played 15 seasons in the NBA with Chicago and Washington after leading North Carolina to an NCAA championship in 1982.
