This ESPN the Magazine cover portrays Michael Jordan jumping against an all-white background in his Chicago Bulls uniform. Two weeks after winning his sixth title with the Bulls, the corresponding article speculates whether or not Jordan will retire from basketball. Jordan retired on January 13, 1999, but two years later signed a deal to play for the Washington Wizards. On April 16, 2003, Jordan played his last game and announced his final retirement.

This portrait of Michael Jordan on the cover of ESPN caught my attention quickly because I could easily tell what the topic was. Its one of the most famous and admired professional basketball players of all time, and he is in his very well known "Jump-Man" pose as he always does when going for a "Slam-Dunk".  Michael is not really facing the camera but the whole message is really in his name and number on the back of his jersey.  The lighting also in a way casted a perfect shadow right underneath Jordan, keeping the viewers eyes focused on the center of the page. The photo is not overexposed what so ever, every image is in perfect focus and you can clearly read the back of Michaels Jersey.  I think ESPN magazine did a great job choosing this photo as their cover.
