Synopsis
Michael Jordan truly showed what hard work and perseverance can get you in life. He started off at a basketball court with his father in their back yard that he and his siblings called "The Shack." This is where Michael Jordan spent his free time shooting and dribbling and learning the fundamentals of basketball that would soon give him the fame and fortune that he deserved. Though most people know Michael Jordan as the best of all time, he wasn't able to make his high school's varsity team until his junior year! But when Michael got his opportunity, he showed his potential and had Division I scouts coming to see his game. Michael decided to go to his home university, North Carolina. There, he looked even more impressive than he did in high school! His college career led people to believe he would have a pretty good NBA career, but nothing amazing. Boy, were they wrong. Michael went straight into the NBA and steam-rolled right through the best the league had to offer. Michael Jordan finished his career with six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, and even went on to take a crack at playing baseball. Through all of his impressive stats and championships, Michael Jordan was still just an average kid with a big dream.
