However, none of them ever won as many accolades like Michael Jordan has during his 15 years in the National Basketball Association with the Chicago Bulls. Even though he played two years of his career with the Washington Wizards, Jordan will always be remembered for wearing the red and black in Chicago and joining the list of aforementioned Chicago sports legends.Nearly 20 years after his final season with the Bulls, there’s now a bronze sculpture showing Jordan’s infamous “jumpman” pose in front of the United Center – a place that many consider “the house that Jordan built.” But many in Chicago will never forget his name for bringing six championships to the city within the 1990s. There are still fans that wear his iconic number 23 uniform and hold current stars like Derrick Rose to the same expectations as the Bulls continue to return to the glory from 20 years ago.There’s a reason Jordan built up one of the greatest careers that anyone has ever seen, not only the NBA, but throughout professional sports. His name also transcended into clothing, pop culture, movies, music, and other sports like baseball. Still, it all starts with everything he’s accomplished in basketball – with more than 32,000 points, six Most Valuable Player awards, and more several individual distinctions for both offense and defense.Jordan once said that basketball “has been everything. My place of refuge, place I’ve always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It’s been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction.”Tags: Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Derrick Rose

This book, Michael Jordan: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Players, is a must-read for anyone looking to know more about Michael Jordon. It is a concise read, yet chock-full of great content and jam-packed with detailed, solid facts. This story is an example of true determination and believing in yourself when no one else seems to. The author details every phase of Michael Jordan’s life, from his childhood in Wilmington, North Carolina and his parent’s resolve in raising bright and successful children to his fruitful career in the NBA and his brief time in baseball, showing how he came to be one of the greatest basketball players of all time. This was genuinely a very enjoyable read. If you’re a fan of basketball, and even if you aren’t, I truly recommend this book for anyone wishing to attain more knowledge and inspiration.
I am from the generation that remembers the time in basketball history that Michael Jordan was king. This inspiring story reminds us about what Michael Jordan was able to do in basketball that made him great. If his statistics are not impressive enough, his impact to our culture is evident with the sale of his shoes and many endorsements. His jumpman pose is on his apparel, shoes, and even outside the United Center in Chicago, home of the Bulls. As the book points out, he was not a naturally gifted basketball player as a child. He was disciplined enough to improve on his skills until he was accepted by his school teams. That focus and determination can be from the discipline he got from his parents who kept him in line. This book details his passion for sports (and not just basketball) and the discipline he demonstrates to be the best he can be at his game. It took me on a bit of a nostalgia trip as well as informed me about one of the best basketball players in our lifetime.
When most people think about non fiction, they think "textbook boring"--I certainly did when I was a child. However, this book is both informative and enjoyable. It is detailed--covering Michael Jordan's life from his early childhood to his career, and to his legacy and future--and well-researched, but the author stayed clear of being pedantic, making this an accessible and easy read. This would be a great gift for the sports fanatic in your life or just for your own enjoyment!
Nowadays, when it comes to basketball the name on everybody’s lips is Lebron James. However, when I was growing up, if there was one athlete my friends and I looked up to with complete and utter awe, it was Michael Jordan. He represented what could be accomplished when you fully immersed yourself into becoming the best that you could be. Having said this, reading ‘Michael Jordan: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Players’ gave me a much deeper insight than I had ever known about the man who inspired us to follow aspirations. An avid reader, I love books, but usually tend to stay far away from biographies because they often come off stuffy and read like a list of facts with no genuine flow. Geoffrey’s unauthorized biography of Michael Jordan, however, is written in a way that makes you want to (digitally) turn the next page, just to find out more about a man who was and continues to be one of the most amazing athletes to enter the arena of sports. You feel like you are sitting with a friend who sat on the sidelines catching all of Michael’s moments, great or small, listening to him as he recounts every one of them hooking you in every step of the way. Definitely a great book to check out if you want to know more about the man who made the #23 the thing of legends.
This book is a great option to give to your kids especially if they’re basketball fanatics. It details how Michael Jordan started his basketball career and became the legacy and an icon that he is now. The author did a great job in researching and collecting facts that you can’t even find in a single book. If you're a fan of Michael Jordan or just basketball this book is a must read. Highly recommended!
