Michael Jordan - The Hero

Michael Jordan was born February 17, 1963. Accepting a basketball scholarship to the University of North Carolina, he became the second Tarheel freshman to start every game. Jordan was named Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Rookie of the Year and won the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship in 1982. He led the ACC in scoring and was named college player of the year in 1983 and 1984. Jordan left North Carolina after his junior year and was drafted by the Chicago Bulls as the third overall pick of the 1984 draft.

A broken foot sidelined Jordan for 64 games during the 1985-1986 season. He returned, scoring 49 points against the Boston Celtics in the first game of the playoffs and 63 in the second—an NBA record. During the 1986-1987 season Jordan became the first player since Wilt Chamberlain to score 3,000 points in a season. The Bulls won the 1991-1993 NBA titles. In 1994 Jordan joined the Chicago White Sox minor league baseball team, returning to the Bulls for the remaining 1994-1995 season. In the 1995-1996 season, the team finished 72-10, another NBA record. The Bulls went on to win their fourth NBA title in 1996, fifth in 1997, and sixth in 1998 where Jordan claimed his sixth NBA finals MVP award,

:D Jordan participated in the 1984 and 1982 Summer Olympics, earning gold medals for the United States. He was named 1985s Rookie of the Year, 1988s Defensive Player of the Year, NBA MVP five times, has a career record for the highest scoring average of 28.5 ppg, played in 11 All-Star games (starting in 10, missing one due to injury), and named All-Star MVP three times. Jordan retired January 13, 1999.

...:::Advantages & Disadvantages:::...

ADVANTAGES:

1.The traditional reason was athletes were athletes, and the guys who played football were the guys who played baseball. Basketball was invented to keep them in shape for the off-season.

2.To have fun

3.Get fit

4.To get taller at Adolescence stage


DISADVANTAGES:

Oh oh! A disadvantage might be that basketball itself seems really pointless (although I love it, haha)... especially if you ask someone who doesn't play or care for highly-active sports. In basketball, you just dribble a ball up and down and try and get it through a circle. Football, atleast its sort of like a race where the goal is pretty much to get from one side to the other... seems a little less uhhhh, mundane? Haha.

And sometimes, you may have some accidents while playing the games [but i don't care ]. Your parents could be nervous a lots ..... I think you wouldn't have chance to play asketball again ^^!
