NBA logo candidate No. 2: Michael Jordan

If the aforesaid gentleman wearing No. 23 is not considered as the greatest to ever palm a basketball, then this fella here certainly is.

Michael “Air” Jordan reshaped the game of basketball both in the ’80s and the ’90s. His effect on the sport itself, but also the way that the athletes are now viewed worldwide is clear to everyone that watched his infamous documentary, “The Last Dance” on Netflix.

Many legendary MJ moments instantly come to mind. The free-throw line dunk against Dominique Wilkins in 1988, his acrobatic lay-up in the 1991 NBA Finals against the Lakers, or even “The Last Shot” against Utah during his last championship run.

No moment, though, manages to match his game-winner and celebration against Craig Ehlo and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Jerry West is an NBA legend that will be remembered for years to come. Unfortunately, he isn’t anywhere near being the greatest to ever do it. According to many people, Michael is. Why not have the most iconic moment of your most iconic player as your logo?
