Michael Jordan, wife file for divorce

CHICAGO (AP) -- Michael Jordan and his wife, Juanita, filed for divorce Friday after 17 years of marriage. "Michael and Juanita Jordan mutually and amicably decided to end their 17 year marriage," the couple said in a statement issued through their lawyers. "A judgment for dissolution of their marriage was entered today. There will be no further statements."

Juanita Jordan previously filed for divorce in January 2002, but withdrew her petition a month later when the couple announced they were attempting a reconciliation.

During her last divorce petition, Jordan said attempts to reconcile their marriage had failed and future ones "would be impractical and not in the best interests of the family."

The couple met at a Chicago restaurant during his second season with the Bulls and were married Sept. 2, 1989, in Las Vegas. They have three children: Jeffrey, Marcus and Jasmine.

The 43-year-old Jordan, a part-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, led the Bulls to six NBA titles and was a five-time league MVP. He lives in Highland Park, Ill.

Not surprised at all, I guess the accusations of cheating and his gambling problems took it's toll on their marriage.

Juanita seemed like she was a good woman to him and i'm sure he cheated on her with other women because of who he is. Women throw themselves at famous men like him and most men can't say no to women. It's a shame him and Juanita's kids are gonna be separated from Michael. It's not good for kids to be away from their dad.

I met one guy who was probably the first person I've met who didn't have a positive opinion on Micheal Jordan.It's sad that him and Juanita are breaking up, but maybe she'll find better.
