Michael Jordan I've failed over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed. -Michael Jordan

Early Life Michael Jeffery Jordan was born in Brooklyn, New York during his early ages the Jordan's moved to Wilmington. Michael majored in cultural geography from the university of North Carolina. He would go to the gym everyday to make it on one of the high school teams to practice but he got cut three times from a basketball team so that even meant that he would even strive more to reach his goal to become a good athlete.

Starting The NBANBA With the height of 6 ft 6 in Jordan had the largest leap that the NBA had ever seen. He went to North Carolina and played shooting guard on the team Tar Heels. In 1982 Jordan joined the Chicago bulls he had the same position shooting guard. He stayed with them from(19841993, 1995 -1998) after he was done with the Chicago bulls he went to the Washington Wizards and stayed with them from(2001 -2003).

Career In 2003 Michael was put into the hall of fame the scouts had been watching Michael since he was playing with a basketball. The teams said no matter what team he played for he would always give 110%. If they would lose he would always say no matter what we do we are always the bulls. Michael also averaged 30. 1 points per game. 6. 2 rebounds, and 5. 3 assists per game. Michael was not only a basketball player he also played baseball.

Baseball or Basketball Michael played with the Scottsdale Scorpions for baseball, and had played for a little while after his father died Michael wanted to play baseball because it was his dad’s favorite sport, but that did not last long he wasn’t that good in baseball than he would be as in basketball. In 1994 -95 the bulls were struggling, the team received a lift because Michael decided to come back and he lead them to championships.

The Number 23 Michael Wanted the number (45) but it was already taken so he halved the number and kept it through High school and College. His favorite number was 45 just like his oldest brother Larry. When Michael got to high school he couldn’t have the number 45 because Larry already had took it so he decided to halve his number and he got 23 and that is the real story about how Jordan got number 23.
