Michael Jeffrey Jordan was born in Brooklyn New York and grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina.
Michael was an all around athlete while in middle school and excelled at baseball, basketball, and football. But his favorite sport was baseball. It was through endless games of one-on-one basketball against his older brother Larry that Michael developed his competitiveness, and his love for basketball.
In high school Michael joined the JV basketball team at Laney high school. During Michael’s sophomore year, the varsity team needed additional players for an upcoming tournament, and held a tryout. Michael tried out but was not chosen due to his lack in size. Michael was extremely hurt by this experience and vowed to never let it happen again. The next year Michael grew 6 inches and began to dominate his opponents.
Michael caught the eye of Roy Williams, then the assistant of coach Dean Smith of North Carolina and invited Michael to a camp for promising high school players. Coach Smith liked Jordan immediately and recruited him for North Carolina. Michael went on to start his freshman year, and hit the gaming winning shot of the 1982 NCAA championship game. He calls that the turning point of his entire career.

INCREDIBLE RIGHT?…WHAT NIKE, MEDIA, AND JORDAN SPORTS LOONS NEVER MENTION IS THE FACT THAT MICHAEL JORDAN MATCHED UP WITH MORE ROLE PLAYERS THAN AN ACTING SCHOOL…OUT OF ALL THE PLAYERS THAT MICHAEL JORDAN MATCHED UP WITH IN THEIR “PRIME” DURING HIS CAREER…ONLY CLYDE DREXLER MADE THE NBA TOP 50 LIST…Yes it’s true that Jordan D’d up Magic Johnson (Only to be replaced by Pippen in the 1991 NBA finals) and Isiah Thomas…he never truly MATCHED UP WITH THESE PLAYERS…the definition of a Matchup is when 2 opposing players Defend each other….Jordan defended Magic but on offense Jordan got defended by 6’3 Byron Scott the 4th-5th best player on the Lakers roster…NOT MAGIC…Jordan defended 6’1 Isiah Thomas but on offense Jordan got defended by marginal role players Joe Dumars and Vinnie Johnson the 4th and 7th best players on the Pistons Roster. JORDAN SET SCORING RECORDS DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE HAD SLOWER, SMALLER, LESS ATHLETIC 1 DIMENSIONAL ROLE PLAYERS GUARDING HIM…Players like 6’0 Kevin Johnson, 6’1 Jerry Sichting, 6’3 Hersey Hawkins, 6’3 John Starks, 6’3 Byron Scott, 6’3 Andrew Toney, 6’2 Vinnie Johnson, 6’3 Jeff Hornacek, 6’4 Dennis Johnson, 6’4 Danny Ainge, 6’4 Vernon Maxwell….WOW…With a CUPCAKE list of players like that guarding you on a night in night out basis is there really any wonder why Jordan was able to set so many records?
Jordan’s Greatest Moments Of His Career were against the Most Marginal Role Players in the game…Jordan scored 63 points over Dennis Johnson…Boston’s 4th best player…Jordan scored 69 points on Craig “8ppg” Ehlo…Cleveland’s 5th best player…Every big game Jordan had was against the opponents worst most marginal players…The myth of Jordan being a great defender is LAUGHABLE!! WHO DID JORDAN EVER DEFEND AND SHUT DOWN THAT WAS GREAT…Not MAGIC…Magic regularly posted triple doubles and 30+ scoring nights on Jordan…Not Clyde Drexler…Jordan did score 50+ on Drexler but Drexler posted 42 points on Jordan…I THOUGHT JORDAN WAS A GREAT LOCKDOWN DEFENDER…Not Allen Iverson…Does anyone remember THE CROSSOVER?…Jordan attempted to D up ROOKIE Allen Iverson and ended up breaking his ankles as Iverson regularly posted 30-40 point scoring nights against Jordan and the Bulls…Not Kobe..Kobe at age 19 came off the Lakers Bench as a teenager fresh outta high school and posted 33 points in only 29 minutes against the Supposed Great Defender Michael Jordan…Michael Jordan is a great defender when facing marginal “NON-SCORING” role players like Craig “8ppg” Ehlo, Randy “7ppg” Wittman, Bryon “8ppg” Russell, and John “12ppg” Starks…not real ballers like Kobe, Magic, Iverson, and Drexler…SO AS THE TITLE SAYS….”MICHAEL JORDAN IS THE NEW FOUND KING OF THE CUPCAKES”!!!
