My hero is Michael Jordan and he is one of the best basketball players. People call him "Air Jordan" because when he dunks a basketball, it seems that he has been airborn longer than anyone else. His full name is "Michael Jeffery Jordan". His jersey number was 23 in the NBA for the Chicago Bulls. Michael Jordan retired in 1999 then again at 2003. He sometimes plays golf now and then when he has time.

Michael Jordan is amazing to me because of all the dunks that he did in the NBA. He inspired me to play more basketball by scoring a lot of baskets and having a succesful professional career. I'm not really good at playing basketball but I'm still trying to play. I liked soccer but choosing Michael Jordan seemed to have more info to talk about and more interesting information to talk about.
