Michael Jordan 23, Senior Guard 6' 175 lbs. A two-time first team All Ivy and first team All-Big 5 selection, Jordan was third in the Ivies in 1998-99 in both scoring (15.3 points per game) and assists (125). The Abington Friends School alumnus and Philadelphia native has become the consummate point guard and team leader over his three years at Penn. He has the rare ability to beat opponents off the dribble and with his jumpshot. Jordan led the Quakers to an upset victory over then-No. 6 ranked Temple at the Palestra on November 23, 1998, with a 22-point performance in a full 45 minutes of play. He also ignited the Quakers in a 25 point win at Princeton on March 2 which clinched the Ivy title for the Quakers. Jordan is 20th on Penn's all-time scoring list with 1,140 points and fifth in assists with 328. He was the 1996-97 Ivy League Rookie of the Year. ESPN.com named Jordan the 16th best playmaker in America in their college basketball preview last week.
