Sports stars come and go, and some will reach the top of their careers with great playing and notable exploits. However, some will ascend even that to become something more: a legend.
Not many sports stars reach this prestigious level, but Michael Jordan is one that certainly has. Considered one of the best basketball players of all time, his name has become synonymous with the sport.
He has even appeared in other media, such as the smash hit Space Jam in 1996. Now, he is the star of this collection of free Jordan coloring pages for kids.
Fans of this sports legend will get to portray him and his best moments using their color creativity, so let’s blow the whistle and kick off the collection!

This second page captures a quieter moment for Michael Jordan. He is standing posed with a basketball, and it could be at a game during a break in the action.
You could show what you think is going on by drawing a background for this page. This way, you could show him having a quiet moment during a game, or perhaps he could be training instead.

It’s always amazing to see a master player go for a tricky move, and this page captures the dramatic nature of such a moment brilliantly.
Michael Jordan is running with the ball, and he has an intense look on his face.
The background has been left fairly blank here, and you could add to it in any way that you like. You may want to use simple colors or shapes to keep the focus on Jordan.
However, you could also add some elements such as the silhouettes of other players trying to stop or aid him. What will you choose to do?
Even if you were to watch a classic Michael Jordan match live, you would be unlikely to get a view of the action as great as this one is! The only exception would be if you were on the other team.
If that was the case, then you would not want to see Jordan this way, as he looks determined and ready for an incredible play.

You can use your colors and art tools to imagine what that amazing moment would be like!
If you ask me, this Jordan coloring printable shows the moment right before he goes for a hoop. You can tell from his posture as well as the intense look on his face.

Michael Jordan is on the move again on this next thrilling page. Do you ever find yourself wondering what would be going through the mind of a legend during a typical moment of a game?

The next page that we have for you to color gives you a great look at the uniform that Jordan wore during his time with the Chicago Bulls. This includes his number, the Bulls name and their logo.

We have a close-up of Jordan for this next page, and it gives us a good look at the legend himself.

Do you think he will get or miss this hoop?
