Michael Jeffery Jordan is considered by most people to be the greatest basketball player of all time and I agree for sure. He was born on February 17, 1963 in Brooklyn New York. His family moved to North Carolina and he attended Emsley Laney high school and as a sophomore he tried out for the varsity basketball team and got cut but then he came back his junior year and made the team. He soon got recognized and went to play college basketball for North Carolina were he then grew to be 6’4 over the summer before the start of his freshman year. And under Coach Dean Smith he was named the ACC freshman of the year and averaged 13.4 points a game with a 53.4% shooting percentage. I guess you could say that he was always clutch he hit the game winning shot in the 1982 NCAA Championship game against Georgetown. He went on to be selected into the NCAA All American first tea in both his sophomore and junior years. He then got drafted to the Chicago Bulls and in only his first year he averaged 28 points, and was voted to the all-star game as a rookie, and went on to become rookie of the year. In his second he broke his foot and his season was cut short. In the 1986-87 season he scored 3000 points the only one to do so beside the great Wilt Chamberlin, it wasn’t tell the 1990-91 season that he and the bulls finally made the finals and won against the Los Angeles Lakers in 5 games. And the very next year they win 67 games the best record in NBA history. And they also won another championship and the next year they won another ring. With this 3 peat the Bulls were on top of the world. But after that, things went downhill a little bit for Michael his father died and he was considering not coming back to basketball. He wanted to do what he did as a child and play his father’s favorite sport, Baseball he signed with the Scottsdale Scorpions. He did live up to the hype of being the best but he continued to try and get better but he did not. And he knew that he missed basketball and all it took was the words ''I’m back!'' and the basketball fans went crazy they were so happy that he was coming back. In his first year back Michael led the Bulls to a 13-4 record and wore number 45 but during the eastern conference finals he switched back to 23. After that he went on to a second three peat and on his final game ‘’the flu game’’ hit the final shot to win. His legacy is if not the best than one of the best of all he has five regular season MVPs, six finals MVPs, 3 all-star MVPs. Magic Johnson once said this ‘’Theirs Michael Jordan and then there’s the rest of us.’’
