Jordan leads class of 2009 into Hall of FameLos Angeles - As a youngster, he never thought about it, but Michael Jordan soared into the Hall of Fame like one of his patented slam dunks.

Arguably the greatest to ever play the game, Jordan was elected Monday to the class of 2009.

"Growing up, I would never have envisioned myself at any point in time, being in any Hall of Fame," Jordan said. "All I wanted was a chance to go to college and whatever happened after that happened."
