Juanita, who was a loan officer at Chicago Bank before marring Jordan, Michael and Juanita, have two sons; Jeffrey Michael and Marcus James.

Jordan's friends admired him and value his friendship because

Beneath this verbal sparring, friends say, is the thoughtful Jordan who has dedicated his time to help charities. Several summers ago, after playing for two days in a McDonald's charity golf tournament in Greensboro, Jordan chartered a plane so he could make it to Fresno by 7:30 that evening for Rod Higgins charity basketball game. That same summer, after the Bulls had been bounced from the playoffs, Jordan took his Father, Shiver, Whitfield and Kearns on a 10-day cross-country trip, which was paid by Jordan. "Once you are friends with him he really works at keeping that friendship and nursing that friendship," Higgins says.

Maslow found that self-actualizers are accurately in to reality and that they're at peace with themselves. He found that they are open and spontaneous and that they retain a fresh appreciation of the world around them. Socially, they are sensitive to others' needs and enjoy rewarding interpersonal relations. At the Henry Horner Homes Project, Michael has written his legend. "It is sentimental to pretend that he can solve the many problems that beset this pace, irresponsible to imagine that he owes a greater responsibility to these kids than one owes them one's self. But he could focus attention on these children's problems simply by crossing the street. These kids, and others like them, are not Jordan's obligation, but they are his opportunity. And with so much on the lives, who would you rather see with the ball?" (Naughton, 1992 Pg. 250-251)

Michael is a talented person that has achieved many dreams that he might have thought was impossible. Jordan's goal is to buy a basketball team when he retires from basketball this year. Jordan along with Master P, wants to buy the Charlotte Hornets but this is still uncertain. Jordan not only is a talented athlete but he is a scholar. Jordan graduated from North Carolina State University with a degree in a Cultural Geography. It seemed almost useful field of studies for a young man who sensed that he might soon be touring the country or at least its airport, arenas and hotels, as a professional ballplayer.

Maslow's theorized that humans are driven by a need for self-actualization, which is the need to fulfill one's, potential. Michael Jordan in many ways achieved his potential because he thrives on his work and he enjoys his sense of humor. In Maslow theory, the person can be both childlike and mature, both rational and intuitive, both conforming and rebellious. Jordan in many ways is child like when he's helping those children tha
