my favorite cover


This ESPN The Magazine cover portrays Michael Jordan jumping against an all-white background in his Chicago Bulls uniform. Two weeks after winning his sixth title with the Bulls, the corresponding article speculates whether or not Jordan will retire from basketball. Jordan retired on January 13, 1999, but two years later signed a deal to play for the Washington Wizards. On April 16, 2003, Jordan played his last game and announced his final retirement. - See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contests/asmes-top-40-magazine-covers-last-40-years#sthash.iEozljS4.dpuf

i really like this magazine cover because it shows the great Michael jordan in the cover of ESPN and it also shows some rules of photography. Michael jordan is one of the best basketball players in the world so it is an honor for ESPN to be able to have him in the cover.
