When you ask every NBA fan, or anyone else, who the greatest basketball player of all time is, only one name comes to mind. Michael Jordan is regarded as a basketball legend by the NBA, the public, and even his peers. Michael had a tight bond with his father as a child, which stemmed primarily from their shared love of athletics.
Baseball was their favourite sport, and it was during these games that they became close. Michael, on the other hand, chose to play basketball to emulate his older brother, Larry, whom he admired. Michael was competitive in practically everything, according to those who knew him as a child. He enjoyed winning and was a bitter loser. As a result, he was disappointed when he was not selected for his high school’s varsity team.
Michael arrived at school early every day, much ahead of the rest of the class. He went to the gym in the morning to practise shooting hoops. When the first-period bell rang, the physical education teachers had to drag him out of the gym because he was unstoppable in his drive to be the best in basketball.
When a seat on the basketball varsity team became available, Michael tried his luck once more and was accepted. He was upset, however, because he was only allowed to participate in the interschool games on a limited basis. He spent much of his time on the bench, providing water and towels to the exhausted players. He had been rejected from the basketball team, but he was determined to make the next round of tryouts, and practising was his strategy.
