2. My favorite sportsman is Michael Jordan. He is the best
basketball player of all times.
He was born on february 17, 1963 in Brooklin, New York,
USA. When he was a child, his family moved to Wilmington,
North Carolina. Before basketball, he trained baseball, where
he was also very talented player.
When he began training basketball, his older brother Larry
gave him much assistance. Although he was 20 centimeters
shorter than Michael, Larry regularly beat him in 1 to 1
basketball and developed a competitive spirit in him.
In 1980, Michael entered University of North Carolina. In 1982. in
NCAA finals (university championship), he scored in last second
against Georgetown University, to win 63:62, making University
of North Carolina champions.
3. In 1984 he was drafted by Chicago Bulls in NBA drafts.
With them he was NBA champion six times (1991-1993, 1996-1998).
He was also ten times best scorer and five times most valuable player (MVP).
With USA basketball team, he won gold Olympic medals in Los Angeles 1984
and Barcelona 1992.
His status of NBA superstar was sealed when he won slam-dunks
competition at NBA All-star weekend 1988, when he dunked beyond free
throw line.
His strong take-off and free throw line dunking earned him names like „Air
Jordan“ and „His Air Highness“.
4. He finished his playing carrier in 2003. in jersey of Washington Bullets.
I am also training basketball in B.C. „CA Basket“ and own Michael Jordan jersey in Chicago Bulls, with his number of 23.
