Michael Jordan
The author Joe Layden thinks Michael Jordan is the greatest athlete of all time. Now Michael Jordan is famous for the one hand dunk from the free throw line that no one during his time could do. Some people even call him “Air Jordan” because of his special dunk. Michael is also famous for his shoes, the Jordan’s: the Ovo 12s, Jordan 5s and the many many more. He made the number 23 legendary and now you see players like Lebron James, Draymond Green, and etc.are wearing the number. Before Michael Jordan was the great NBA player that everybody knows today, one fact you might not know about him is that, he was cut from his high school team. But he didn’t give up; now he is in the Hall of Fame and almost everybody is wearing his shoes, the Jordans. MJ won ten NBA titles and also two Olympic gold medals. When Michael Jordan was a freshman in college he led the school to have the NCAA titles in 1982. Michael is a 6’6’’ point guard that got drafted to the Bulls. He also won two NBA Slam Dunk Champions, took the Bulls to three NBA championships where they one each time, and was named MVP every year they won the championship. Michael Jordan is Chicago Bulls’ all-time leading scorer with 29,277 points and he is still the top scoring player for the bulls with 930 points. Michael Jordan, MJ, Air Jordan is all one person and that one person might be the greatest athlete of all time; do y’all think?

ReplyDeleteI like how you started your blog off but I would like to know more about Mr. Jordan when he was younger. Like what problems did he half to go through just to get where he is doing besides by working hard. Jordan is by far my favorite basketball player even though some people think he isn’t the greatest but to me he will always be the greatest to walk this planted. How was his childhood like? Did he get in any trouble at school ?Was his grades good?What was his favorite shoes he made or does he have a favorite pair and who was the best player he played against or played on his team. You did a good job the way you set this up keep going.
