Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan was born on January 17, 1963 in Brooklyn, New York and was raised in Wilmington, North Carolina. He has two brothers, is married, and has three kids. He is considered by many to be the greatest basketball player of all time. My focus will be on his hardships, accomplishments, and people who influenced him. First, I would like to touch on some general information about Michael. He wears number 23 on his jersey because he considered it to be half of his brother's number, 45. He had wanted 45 because it was his brother's number and he deeply admired his brother, but he was on the same team as his brother so he needed to pick a different number. His most well known superstition is that he wears his University of North Carolina basketball shorts under his game shorts. When Michael was a kid, his favorite sport was not basketball. In fact, it was baseball.

He was a pitcher on a little league team. He played baseball because he was short. Later in his life, he would try to leave the NBA and play major league baseball. Michael was not always rich. His parents had to work two and three jobs each to support the family. Before Michael's dad built him a basketball court in his back yard Michael shot, basketballs into


Michael would now try baseball with the Birmingham Barons. During the 18 months Michael was away from basketball, he would have his jersey retired in the United Center, have a bronze statue of him in front of the United Center and would draw enormous crowds to minor league baseball games. After 18 months, Michael got tired of baseball, especially because he was being criticized because he was not too good at baseball. Michael would come back to basketball with 17 games left in the regular season.

The Bulls would make the playoffs that year, but, unfortunately, get defeated by the Orlando Magic. When he returned to basketball the list of awards and achievements kept flowing in as if he had never quit the game. In addition to his great feats and huge paycheck ($25 Million this year), Michael also has major advertising deals. These deals include companies and products such as Nike, Gatorade, and Whites. In addition to all of his other accomplishments, Michael is also a movie star. He stared in Space Jam with Bugs Bunny. He also has a restaurant in Chicago named after him. All in all I believe that Michael Jordan is the best basketball player of all-time and will be remembered as so for a long time to come. He is an even greater man for his donations to charities. What makes his life so much more amazing is every hardship he has had to overcome.

a trash can. Michael was not always good at basketball, either. People told Michael that he was too short to play basketball. Michael now stands six feet six inches tall. He also went to the school gym bef
