Statue of Michael Jordan, Bronze statue at United Center, United States
The Statue of Michael Jordan is a bronze sculpture at the entrance of the United Center in Chicago. It shows a player in mid-jump, legs bent, one arm reaching upward as if about to score.
The bronze figure was unveiled in 1994 after the Bulls won three consecutive championships. It was created at a time when the athlete had temporarily stepped away from the game and celebrated the early years of his success.
The name honors the player whose leaping ability became a symbol for an entire era in sports. Fans from around the world come to the United Center to stand before the sculpture and take their photos with the airborne moment.
The sculpture is located in the east atrium of the United Center and is accessible during the day between 10 AM and 5 PM. Visitors can move freely around the base and view details of the figure from different angles.
The bronze figure weighs about 2,000 pounds and rests on a black granite pedestal that bears an inscription. Artists Omri Amrany and Julie Rotblatt-Amrany worked on the sculpture and captured the dynamics of a single moment in flight.
