jordans older brother Larry use to wear the #45, Jordan wanting to be like his brother wanted to wear the same number which was already taken. so he split the number in half which is 22 1/2. there is no such number in Basketball so he took 23.
his brother wore number 45 and his brother was a huge rival of his as a young kid. he wore #23 because his dream was to be at least half as good as his brother one day. half of 45 is 22.5 so he rounded up to set his goals higher.
Because he was five years old when he started playing basketball and the number 23 when added together gives you five (2 + 3 = 5)
that was his luckey number.
because that how old he was when he started playing

michal Jordan did not choose the #23 the bulls choose it for him, most rookies in any major league sport do not have control over what number they will wear.
Michael Jordan idolized his brother. He thought he had half his skills. His brother wore 45. Half of that is 22.5. Round that off and that's 23, 23 must have been his favorite number out of the ones he has played under.
