122320Micheal JordenJaydenMichael Jordan was born on February 17th 1963 and grew up in Brooklyn, New York, United States. Michael Jordan is the 4th of 5 children. He has two older brothers, Larry Jordan and James R. Jordan, Jr., one older sister, Deloris, and one younger sister, Roslyn. Jordan's brother James retired in 2006 as the Command Sergeant Major of the 35th Signal Brigade of the XVIII Airborne Corps in the U.S Army. When Michael Jordan was not in  school he usually played sports.

The first challenge that Michael Jordan faced was when he was  in grade 8.  He wanted to be a player on the basketball team but he failed. The second challenge that Michael Jordan faced was when his dad died on July 23rd, 1993.  Michael Jordan's dad liked baseball so Michael Jordan tried to play baseball but it was so hard for him. First Michael Jordan field in Grade 8 but he practiced lot of basketball and Michael Jordan got better at basketball and he got tall so he didn't fail in next year. Second  baseball was so hard for Michael Jordan so he just quit the baseball and he played  basketball  again.  When he was on Chicago Bulls, Coach Phil Jackson helped Michael Jordan a lot. 1987-88 and 1990-91 and 1991-92 and 1995-96 and 1997-98 Chicago Bulls won the NBA Larry O'Brien Championship trophy.

How can you get that good at basketball and were you really short? Why did you play the baseball? I am happy because i learned more about him and i wanted to learn more about him because i like basketball.
