Essay --
My paper will be about a person who has inspired millions of people to pursue their dreams and gave them the motivation to never give up. This manââ¬â¢s name is Michael Jeffrey Jordan, also known by his initials ââ¬Å"M.Jâ⬠. Michael Jordan was born on February 17, of the year 1963. He was born in Brooklyn, New York. He is 6 ft. 6 in tall, and weighs about 216 pounds. Michael Jordan attended to Emsley A. Laney high school in Wilmington, North Carolina. Jordan is one of five children. He has two older brothers, Larry Jordan, and James R. Jordan Jr. Also one older sister named Deloris and a younger sister, by the name of Roslyn. Once Michael graduated high school he attended North Carolina from 1981-1984. This man is an American former professional basketball player, entrepreneur, and majority owner and chairman of the Charlotte Bobcats. The National Basketball Association (NBA) website states, "By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time." In 1984, Michael Jordan was drafted by the Chicago bulls. Since then Jordan dominated the sport Jordan has his place as the greatest basketball player of all time for many reasons one of them is because he never gave up. In high school Michel Jordan was rejected on his high school basketball team for being too short, however that did not stop Michael. This all just intrigued Michael to try harder and be able to succeed. throughout his basketball career from the 1980s-1990s with the Chicago bulls he lead his team to the championship six times, six time NBA finals Most valuable player, five time NBA most valuable player, fourteen time NBA all-star three time NBA all-star game Most Valuable Player, ten time All-NBA first team, All NBA second team, two time NBA slam dunk contes... ...r who comes into the game. People will always remember Jordan as the best player in the game. I donââ¬â¢t know one single person who doesnââ¬â¢t know Jordan he is known worldwide as the man who could fly. He managed to score a half-court shot to win a dunk competition many people didnââ¬â¢t believe he could win. He brought his own moves into the game the same moves that many NBA players use now. I believe that no matter who comes in to the game they will not be remembered the greatest player to ever live like Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan even said that the only person he should ever be compared to is Kobe Bryant and not even he has been able to accomplish what Jordan has accomplished. Michael Jordan has been a huge influence on millions of people until this day. And for that he will always be remembered as the greatest basketball player to ever step on any NBA or other court.
