MJ

His Airness, abbreviated

MJ is an abbreviation with several common meanings depending on context.

In casual usage, it's slang for marijuana: I'm going to pick up some MJ.

In sports and entertainment, MJ typically refers to Michael Jordan or Michael Jackson—two figures so dominant in their fields that the initials alone suffice: MJ was the greatest to ever play the game.
