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
He also has a restaurant in Chicago named after him. What makes his life so much more amazing is every hardship he has had to overcome. However, it was not in the way he hoped it would. In addition to all of his other accomplishments, Michael is also a movie star. He is an even greater man for his donations to charities. 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. Michael was also part of the 1992 United States Olympic basketball team. His brother was only a year older than Michael was, but he was much better and taller than Michael was. He stared in Space Jam with Bugs Bunny. People told Michael that he was too short to play basketball. On August 14, 1993 Michael's father, James Jordan was murdered (Lee). Michael now stands six feet six inches tall.
