For the first time ever, NBA legend Michael Jordan is to visit China in May as part of his 2004 Asian tour sponsored by sportswear maker Nike.

The star will travel to several Chinese cities during the footwear promotional tour although details of his itinerary are yet to be released.

While promoting his latest Air Jordan sneakers will be topping his whirlwind visit, fans in China will be thrilled to enjoy a one-on-one face-off with the greatest ever basketball player.
