Introduction

I believe that Michael Jordan was the best basketball player of all time. Michael Jordan was the greatest because he was so multi-talented. He could score from anywhere on the court, jump to incredible heights, dunk, pivot, and play aggressive defense. He was hailed as an effective team leader. When Jordan was 'in the zone' there was no stopping him. During his long career he won many awards. To name a few: 5 for MVP; 10 All-NBA first team designations; 9 All-Defensive first team honors; 14 NBA All-Star game appearances; 3 All-Star Game MVP awards; ten scoring titles.

Jordan has won more accolades, awards and unbeaten records than any other basketball player, alive or dead. ESPN named Jordan the greatest North American athlete of the 20th century. Jordan was like a puma the way he jumped with such grace and power. Larry Bird, a rival on the Boston Celtics, said: "That was God disguised as Michael Jordan." after Michael Jordan set the NBA playoff record for most points in a game with 63 in a double-overtime loss to the Boston Celtics, 135-131. Any way you look at it, from sheer talent, perseverance, accomplishments, awards and acclaim from peers, there has been no one in basketball to match Michael Jordan.

High school

American football, basketball, and especially baseball are the sports that practice. "One day I will be professional baseball," said the little Mike. However, he enjoys playing on the playground in his neighborhood. He developed his instincts as a competitor and imitates his idol, Julius "Doctor J" Erving. Thus he decided to join the basketball team Laney Hight School, a suburb of Wilmington. But Jordan impresses anyone, much less his coach. So he spends hours on the playgrounds, grows and takes muscle. Thus, it is found in the 5 major the following year, accumulating personal performance and leading his team to conference title.

However, invited to a summer camp in Pittsburgh, he spreads his talent in front of the university recruiters. It impresses with its spikes, speed, and aggression: the legend is on the way (Stevin, ...
