             Michael Jordan is not only a master on the court, but also a role model for others with his relentless strive to succeed in life. He has worked hard throughout his career to gain the respect of everyone. He is not only known as the greatest basketball player ever, but also a great businessman making multi-millions off endorsements and his own company, "Jordan".

             Michael considers himself a native of North Carolina, but was actually born in the city of Brooklyn in New York. He grew up loving the sport of baseball, while basketball was then his second choice. After his father had a job opening in North Carolina, he then moved to a small city in that state called Wilmington. Being 12 years old and loving the sport baseball, it was difficult for him to play because most of the leagues were in predominantly white neighborhoods and not many African Americans went there to get a chance to play. But Jordan was the exception. He led his team to what he now thinks of as his greatest accomplishment ever, the Little League Championship, and MVP of the league. .

Over the summer he grew 3 inches from 6" to 6"3". This time he succeeded and made the team. He led his team that year as a junior averaging over 25 points a game. He also had the same success his senior year averaging over 30. .
             In his college years, Jordan came out ready to play. He got a scholarship to North Carolina to play basketball under Dean Smith, now known as one of the greatest college basketball coaches ever.
