My hero is Michael Jordan. He was probably the best basketball player in the last decade, the last century, or even of all time.

Like I said, he was great basketball player, but he is more than just that! Just because he has a lot of money doesn’t mean he spends it only for his own pleasure; instead, he gives a lot to different organizations particulary to UNICEF and to others which help poor African people.

He was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Wilmington, North Carolina. Then he moved to Chicago which is where he still lives. Jordan was born on February 17, 1963.

He is very important to me because I have always liked basketball and he gives me a lot of motivation to play it, and consequently, I have stayed out of trouble and out of bad company which could damage my way of life. Every time I think of him, I get a lot of extra power and I think I am unbeatable, like he was when he was playing basketball.
