Michael Jordan The Greatest Of All Time Summary

Today I will write a short story (Not really short) on the G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time) player in basketball, Michael Jordan.

Childhood & Early Life:

Michael Jeffrey Jordan was born on February 17, 1963 in Brooklyn, New York. Before I get into his success as a well-known professional Basketball player and a businessman for one of the biggest clothing brand today, let’s talk about his story growing up!

Not long after birth, Michael and his family moved to Wilmington, North Carolina. His parents didn’t feel Safe living in the streets of Brooklyn and especially to raise their newborn family. Michael’s father, James Jordan, was a mechanic - worked as a General Electric plant supervisor, and his mother, Deloris Jordan, worked as a bank teller.

Laney high school in Wilmington where he highlighted his atheistic career by playing three sports - football, baseball, and basketball.

In the Fall of 1978, Michael was a sophomore in 9th Grade and tried out for the senior varsity basketball team. But during that time he was only 5’11ft tall and couldn’t dunk the ball on a 10ft rim. He was cut from the team because he was deemed too short to play at that level. Michael obviously wasn’t too happy after being cut. And felt embarrassed, and unfairly treated because he thought he did better than some of the other players.

Jordan was motivated to prove his worth to the Senior team. So he played for the Junior team and had several 40 point games that season. Later on he became the star of the team, he would average 25.4 points per game, 12 rebounds per game, and 5.3 assists per game. In the following summer he actually grew 4 inches and trained vigorously.

Senior year & College:

At the senior year Michael was recruited to the McDonald’s All-American team after he impressed the coaches by averaging a triple double, and an impressive status of 26.8 points per game, 11.6 rebounds, and 10.1 assists.

Jordan led the team to the overall #1 state ranking in North
