Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player to join the NBA, while winning and achieving many awards along the way.
The love of the game has started at a pretty young age. He started to play before or when he was in middle school.

When he was younger he would play with his father and his older brother. Him and his father really enjoyed played baseball and basketball. He had always wanted to become the best at what he liked to play. He had a huge heart to play basketball.
He made his way to the top with some challenges. When he was younger he would play as much as he could, but people told him that he wasn’t skilled enough to handle it. Even in middle school his coach cut him off the team because he didn’t believe that Michael was good enough to play with the team. He had many choices to make as he grew older, like going to collage and following his education, or he could have went to play sports. But even playing sports he would have had to choose basketball for baseball. If he didn’t have all of these choices he wouldn’t have had to do all three.
He was a great role model and achieved many awards, most difficult to the average basketball player. Many kids and teens look up to him, they try to be like him and dress like hi with his apparel.
