Michael Jordan!!!




Michael Jordan (full name Michael Jeffrey Jordan) was born on February 17, 1963 in Brooklyn, New York, but his family decided to move to Wilmington, North Carolina when he was still a toddler and is the fourth of five children, having two olderbrothers and an older and younger sister. As a child, Michael Jordan played baseball, basketball and football.

By the time Michael Jordan was finishing his senior year at Laney High School, he enrolled and achieved a basketball scholarship from the University of North Carolina in 1980. Michael Jordan's ever-growing popularity began at UNC where he won the National Basketball Championship as a college freshman.

In the summer of 1984, Michael Jordan played on the U.S Olympic basketball team that won the gold metal and also in 1984, he joined the NBA as a player for the Chicago Bulls, where Jordan immediately became the NBA´s most valuable player (MVP) and would win the title 6 time. I think because of his skills and allure made him the perfect key figure to market both Nike products and the NBA.

After proving that he was the best basketball player in the world he retired before the 1993-94 season because he sought a new challenge: to pursue a baseball career. Jordan quickly realized that he was not cutout for baseball after a disappointing season so he decided that he would never excel at professional baseball.

In March 1995, Jordan made a surprise he returned to the National Basketball Association (NBA). In 1996, Michael Jordan led the Bulls to their best regular season record and the fourth Championship title in six years. He also took a shot at the silver screen, where he starred alongside Bugs Bunny in the animated comedy Space Jam.

After that, in 1999 he retired from Basketball , now he is an active businessman. This biography is an example of what do you want to achieve with an effort and willingness.
