CHICAGO (AFP) - Former National Basketball Association superstar Michael Jordan and his wife, Juanita, have filed for divorce after 17 years of marriage.

In a statement issued through their lawyers, the Jordans called the split "mutual and amicable".

The Chicago Tribune reported the couple filed for divorce in the Lake County courthouse on Friday.

According to the document filed, the pair have not lived together since February, and are seeking joint custody of their three children who are aged 18, 16 and 14.

In his stellar playing career, Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA titles.

He was a five-time regular season Most Valuable Player and a six-time MVP of the NBA finals. He won 10 NBA scoring titles and two Olympic gold medals.

He retired in 1993 to play baseball but returned to basketball in 1995, finishing his career with 32,292 points (third place in scoring) and a career average of 30.12 ppg -- the best in NBA history.

His second retirement came in 1999, after which he took on the role of president of the Washington Wizards, with whom he returned to the court for two seasons in 2001.

In June Jordan became a part-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats.

maaf mod - saya buka topic tu -
cuz saya memang minat jordan dari dulu2 lagi
since his college football in NC  then been 3rd drafted
to Bulls --

a sad news - but he has made a tremendous changed
in basketball arena  --  very gifted player and
tak ada sapa yang come close to be a legend like him

pada saya jordan ni  macam bird and abdul jabbar juga -
even bird sendiri admit - yang jordan much much
more skillful than he is  (and bird was an excellent
basketball player during his celtic's time)


*even shaq or bryant -- masih tak mampu nak saingi jordan -

kalau ada forumers yang nak share share news tentang jordan
meh la ---    sikit2 pun tak apa -- apa2 news pun wud be
appreciated --


thanks

oobi pun minat jordan. lepas dia bersara, langsung tak de selera sangat nak tengok basketball. i don't know if jordan is the best player of all time, but he did change the lanscape of the way basketball is being played. i'll put him in the top three all time though. between kareem and bird, i'll pick magic johnson. to me, magic was the one that engineered the lakers dynasty in the 80s. kareem is one of the best players of all time, so is bird, but magic in my eyes is the best of the three. during his time, no point guard was as athletic and as big as him.

shaq is not in the class of jordan but he's top three center of all time. kobe, he's no match for jordan at this time but he is more talented than jordan. kobe matured a little bit late, in my opinion, than jordan. but, he's definitely has more skills than jordan. jordan had pippen as his sidekick. without pippen, i'm not sure jordan will win 6 nba championships. kobe needs to learn to trust his teammates. once he's done that, he'll be the best basketball player in the history. he won championships with shaq and he'll win more once he develop chemistry and trust with the rest of his teammates. lamar odom could be his sidekick, just like pippen to jordan.

still rasa jordan better than magic -
but then magic's time peak same as bird -
head to head  bila lakers vs celtics -
bila jordan peaked - magic not around
anymore -- lepas diagnosed dengan hiv tu --

but mgic is known as a very very down to earth guy -
and nice person  (tak semua nba players ni nice  eh  )
*macam isaiah thomas of pistons gak tu --   nice guy! -

and bird got mchale as well as sidekick
whereas magic had kareem -

kalau nak kirakan - memang ramai yang
very good player time jordan - after magic
and bird retired --  ewing of knicks (sadly tak dapat
satu championship pun --  and even lost to bulls masa
semifinal eastern conf - 1991 -  yang saya tak suka  john stork!!
eksyen macam kambeng!!  --)
true that jordan has pippen - in fact in 1991
masa bulls won their second consecutive NBA
championship tu - pippen yang recorded more
rebound and assist than jordan --
(teringat lak  dream team - both were in
dream team for gold medal in olympic)  -
lepas tak ada jordan - pippen pun tak menyerlah mana -

saya still tak rasa bryant boleh match or even exceed
jordan powerness (ada ka word tu - saya main belasah aje) -
still saya peeked gak NBA  nowadays walaupun tak berapa
ikuti  each game -  masa kat canada dulu - satu game pun
tak akan missed -  siap hafal all the players names -
especially the first 5 yang depa turun kan  - and all the 'star'
from each team --

michael jordan  was named the world greatest athlete
in 20th century - and it's so "'bulls'eye"  right to the point -
pun not intended ;)

i'm not comparing magic and jordan. i'm comparing magic and kareem and bird. i left jordan alone. ewing never won nba championship because he never had a team like jordan, plus jordan played during his time, double whammy. by the way, the name is stark, not stork. actually, pippen almost carry the Bulls to nba championship without jordan, if not for a big mistake made by officials that gave the knicks the win - this is when jordan left to play baseball. we'll never know what would happen. if he made it, the only obstacle would be olajuwon and the rockets. as for jordan, he never won the championship without pippen.

bryant is no match for jordan right now. but, he does have better skill and more talented than jordan. bryant won't match jordan charisma and that's actually what made him one of the great players of all time. if bryant worked on his game like jordan, he'll probably surpass jordan in no time in talent department, but not charisma department (his colorado case had already tainted his overall image). but, again, he'll pass jordan IF he works on his game and personality.

yes, jordan is the best basketball player of the 20th century but i don't agree as the best player of the 20th century. if the result was made by american media, i don't acknowledge it 100% because the way they made the decision is for sure bias to americans. to select the best player of the 20th century, you need to cover all sports. for me, i'll probably take one of the soccer players because it's harder to be the best in soccer since you have a lot more people playing the sport and you're playing with and against a lot more athletes compare to basketball.

i think when it said the best athlete
meaning in wider sense
and jordan is one --

great basketball player is just that -- a basketball player --
there're plenty of that --

i remember watching live the game #6
when he changed the hand to dunk in the basketball -
i think it was the best shot of all -
and he just shrugged his shoulder --
what an awesome match --

anyway - sorry the typo - it is stark- i meant
not stork --  oops -
and never liked da guy ;)

but i do like the postman - only when jazz not
playing bulls -
