CHICAGO _ Michael Jordan turns 56 on Sunday. It's the day his Charlotte Hornets franchise plays host to the NBA All-Star Game. It's a day of celebration and reflection, of milestones and memory lanes.
Not all of these 56 moments occurred as the Hall of Famer captivated Chicago with breathtaking play and six NBA championships with the Bulls. But enough of them did to make him feel like he's part of the city, no matter where his other sporting travels have taken him. Happy birthday, MJ. And thanks for the memories.
