The Better Halves Of The NBA's Biggest Stars

Michael Jordan and Yvette Prieto

Simply put, MJ was the GOAT. "By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time," declares the NBA official website, and few would argue. Known as "Air Jordan," he dominated the NBA for 15 seasons, leading the Chicago Bulls to six championships and becoming a global icon. His influence extended beyond the court, as he became the first billionaire player in NBA history in 2014, largely due to his wildly successful partnership with Nike

The Air Jordan sneakers, first released in 1984, remain a cultural phenomenon and a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts worldwide. Off the court, Jordan’s personal life also captured attention. He met his second wife, Yvette Prieto, a Florida-born model of Cuban descent, in 2007, and the couple married in 2013. They welcomed twin daughters in 2014, adding to Jordan’s legacy as a family man. Is there anything MJ couldn’t do? From his unmatched basketball skills to his business acumen and enduring cultural impact, Michael Jordan’s greatness is truly unparalleled.
