Michael Jordan

I was going through my fifth grade word documents on my old computer and found one i did about Michael Jordan.---

Hmmm, when you think of Michael Jordan, you think about a basketball star that keeps wowing the crowd with his skill. But he hasn’t always been a champ; he started out like any one of us. In fact he wasn’t a very fortunate boy. Michael Jordan was born on the 17 of February in 1963 in Wilmington, North Carolina. Ever since he was a boy he had been in love with the game of basketball. Being cut from his high school team didn’t stop his love for the game. His good attitude, work ethic, and work habits kept him in basketball’s path. 1985 he was playing college ball for the University of North Carolina. Under the number 23 he soared over all other players and made a name for himself. All of his practicing and hard work paid off. In 1984 he was a first round draft pick for the Chicago bulls. Unlike most players he kept his edge over players all the way into the pros. The second he hit the pros, he fit in like the icing on the cake. Michael became known for his air born moves and his magical three point shot. As a six time world champion, and five time M.V.P. people started to recognize him as more than M.J. but as a legend. His success wasn’t all on the court, in 1998 he stared in the movie Space Jam. Michael didn’t let all of the fame go to his head; he didn’t get tattoo’s encasing his body, or die his hair rainbow. He was more than a star but a good roll model for kids. Who says you have to make a flashy image to be a star, who ever did, M.J. proved wrong.
Michael was like a fairy tale basketball player, out of some book written by the basketball king.
“Oh wait, Michael Jordan is the king!”
But all fairy tales end, most “Happily ever after.”
After his sixth world championship, he retired, as the worlds best player, ever. But have you heard of a continued fairy tale? I hadn’t, not untill he came back to the game playing for the Washington Wizards. Some were skeptical, but he kept his flame and is leading the Wizards to what they hope is a world championship. He has had a magical life, from zero to hero. All of this because of his strong work ethic, practice habits, and good attitude.
