Do you remember that guy who could dunk from the free throw line? Do you remember that guy who played his best game when he had the flu? Whether you do or not I do, and his name is Michael Jordan. When I was little I didn’t know if I wanted to play baseball, football, or basketball. Well that changed when I walked in the room one day and I saw a commercial of Michael Jordan playing and the fans cheering, that was when I made my final decision. I decided I wanted to play basketball.
Michael Jordan was a basketball player. He was the best in the world. When he went to high school he didn’t make the basketball team his first try. So that made him even more determined to make it. So he came home from school everyday and practiced. He played for North Carolina in college and won a championship game. When he went to the NBA draft he was selected by the Chicago Bulls 1st round pick 3rd overall. His final year on the Bulls was in 1999 and he retired. One year he was also on the USA Dream Team in the Olympics. They went all the way for a gold metal.
Michael Jordan was in 6 NBA finals, and won all 6. The years he won was in 1991,92,93,96,97, and 98. In fact he won 6 MVP Finals awards, he was a 14 time all-star, 3 all-star MVP awards, 10 scoring titles, 3 stealing titles, 9 defensive awards, his regular season ppg (points per game) was 30.12, and his play-off ppg was 33.45.
Michael Jordan was the best basketball player ever and still is. I wish that someday I can be just as good as him. In the future my dream was that I will be an NBA superstar. I wouldn’t have wanted to play basketball if it wasn’t for micheal Jordan. When you fail one time you always want to meet that goal.
