final post


















Finally I decided to do my research on Michael Jordan he is a very interesting person and also one of my favorite basketball player. Michael Jordan was one of the best basketball players back when he played in the 1980s and today he is still known as the greatest basketball player. As I was growing up I always looked up to him and wanted to be like him. I was only six when I started watching him it was back in 1996. Michael Jordan was born in Brooklyn New York on February 17, 1963 his family had moved when he was young they moved north Carolina and went to school there, he loved playing basketball and that’s what he lived for he would practice every day after school. While in high school he was cut from the team and was told he was small and wasn’t good enough after he was cut it broke his heart and made him practice more and more, by the time he was a junior in high he was such a amazing player that the coach was shocked he had cut him two years in a row. He made the team that year and also was put on the top ten list for the best basketball players in high school. I played basketball my whole life and I loved it, I was always at the park playing even in the dark I played for a lot of teams back in middle school, but in high school I got cut and the it was my freshman and made me very emotional the coach told us don’t worry there is always next year he also told how Michael Jordan didn’t make the team the first two years of high school and look how amazing star he become keep practicing and keep your heads up but I knew I couldn’t do what Jordan did so I never tried out again

  1. Its inspirational how you chose to take your loss as Michael Jordan did and continue to practice! When did he get drafted onto a team? Did he ever play in college?
