Why Michael Jordan?

He is an interesting sport star.

I enjoy playing basketball.

Childh d Michael Jordan was born on February 17,1963 in

Brooklyn, New York. Before he reached his first birthday his parents:

James and Deloris moved the family to Wilmington, where Michael’s father built a basketball court in the backyard of the new house in Wilmington.

Michael Jordan had two brothers –Larry and James and two sisters – Delores and Roslyn.

As a child he played three different sports: football, basketball and baseball.

College Career Michael Jordan’s basketball skills in high school

drew the attention of University of North Carolina coaches. The coaches made sure that Jordan attended Dean Smith’s basketball camp in 1980.

Dean Smith was so impressed with Jordan that he offered him a scholarship.

This meant that Jordan didn’t have to pay any college fees.

In 1984, Michael Jordan joined a team called the ‘Chicago Bulls’.

He was the best player on the team and averaged over 37 points each game!

Michael helped the to win their third championship in a row.

Career He retired from basketball in 1933, just 62

days after his father was shot during a robbery!

Jordan was very close to his dad so this was a particularly difficult time for him.

Then he decided that he wanted to try baseball because it was his father’s favourite sport.

BaseballCareer

Michael Jordan signed a contract with the Chicago White Sox and played professional baseball for one year.

In 1995 he returned to basketball and played with the Chicago Bulls again.

• They won their fourth title on father’s day and Jordan dedicated the championship to his father.

2nd Career In 1998, Jordan retired from basketball for

a second time – this time for 3 years! Maybe he decided he was too young to

retire so he then joined a basketball team called the Washington Wizards.

He played for two years and then he truly ended his basketball career.

MOVIE FOR GIVING HIM RESPECT.

Jordan signed many contracts with companies such as Nike, Mc Donald’s and Gatorade (a popular sports drink).

He designed his own runners called ‘Air Jordan’ that made millions of Dollars for Nike and himself.

The runners had a logo with Jordan jumping in the air with a basketball in his hand.

The runners were called ‘Air Jordan’ because people were saying that he could fly through the air.He could stay upto 3 seconds in air.
