I AM NOT THE GRATEST - JORDAN

Michael Jordan, considered by many as the gratest basketball player of all time, was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame .
Just as he was during his playing days, Jordan was again the center of attention , but was quick to pay tribute to his fellow inductees.
"Contrary to what you guys believe ,it's not just me going into the Hall of Fame ", said Jordan, who led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championship then finished his career with two seasons at the Washington Wizards.
Jordan entered the Hall of Fame alongside Stockton and Sloan, who,respectively played for and coached the Jazz team Jordan's Bulls defeated in the 1997 and 1988 NBA finals.
Jordan's game winning shot against Utah to win that last championship was a major highlight in a career filled with too many outstanding achievements to count.
Jordan was also coy about his status as the greatest player of all time, saying he did want to compare himself with players from the past , and warned against judging contemporary and future players against him.
Jordan is currently the managing member of basketball operations of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats and said his love affair with the game remains as strong as ever.
"The game of basketball has meant everything to me- it's may refuge ,may peace ; it's been the place of the most intense pain and joy that anyone can imagine.
"I hope that it's given the millions of people who I have touched the motivation to follow their dreams.
"Never say never; because limits like fears, are often just an illusion."
