'''Michael Jordan''' (born 1963) is a former basketball player who spent the majority of his professional career with the [[Chicago Bulls]] after playing collegiately at the University of [[North Carolina]]. He was well-known for his athletic ability, his unparalleled skill at both ends of the court, and his insatiable desire for success. Currently, he is a part-owner of the [[NBA]]'s Charlotte Bobcats.

Jordan is 6'6" tall, and played the shooting guard position. He averaged 30.1 points per game over his entire NBA career. [http://www.nba.com/history/players/jordan_stats.html] He also played baseball, taking a brief hiatus from his basketball career in 1993 to pursue a baseball career. Some believe the "break" was actually a suspension by NBA Commisioner David Stern for violation of the league's gambling rules. After a stint for the minor league Birmingham Barons, he returned to the Bulls in 1995, retiring in 1999 after having led the team to six NBA titles. He returned to the NBA as a member of the Washington Wizards in 2001, and retired for the last time in 2003.

Michael Jordan is widely known as the best basketball player to ever live.

== Teaser ==

A type of bet that allows the spread to be adjusted in which ever direction desired, but with the consequence of having to choose at least two contests and having to win both for monetary return. For example, a 2 Team 7 Point Teaser would consist of two spreads that can be swayed by 7 points each. Say the lines sit at Florida +7 @ Ohio State and Kentucky -20 @ Florida International. They could be adjusted in the following ways: Florida +14, OSU pk, Kentucky -13, and FIU +27. The added risk is having to win both games to cash the wager and the chalk is anywhere between -140 and -150 for this specific 2 Team 7 Point Teaser. A sports bettor may chose from many types of teasers i.e 12 Team 4.5 Point, 4 Team 14 Point, and 10 Team 10 Point Teasers.

Coffee reached [[Europe]] in the 17th century AD, when traders from the East brought it to Venice. Soon afterwards, coffeehouses began to spring up across Europe. Coffee was most widely embraced in England over the next two centuries. [http://www.realcoffee.co.uk/Article.asp?Cat=history&page=3] Today, [[Brazil]] exports more coffee than any other nation.
