Michael Jeffrey Jordan is probably one of the most recognizable sports figures in the world and one of the most famous as well. Michael Jordan's skill set on the court is unmatched and his competitive spirit has allowed him to be in the conversation of the greatest basketball of all-time. Jordan was originally drafted third overall by the Chicago Bulls in the 1984 NBA Draft where he quickly became a force to be reckoned with after winning Rookie of the Year in 1985.

It wasn't until 1991 that Michael Jordan won his first NBA title, which followed by two more consecutive championships which resulted in Mike's first retirement in 1993. Jordan later returned to basketball in 1995 only to win three more consecutive NBA Championships with the Chicago Bulls forever solidifying his legacy. Michael Jordan is a six-time NBA Finals MVP and five-time MVP as well as fourteen time NBA All-Star. He now is a major owner of the Charlotte Hornets and the face of a multi-billion dollar sneaker franchise.

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
