Summary:
This story is a biography about Michael Jordan's life and career in basketball. Michael Jordan joined basketball in his high school years. He was offered a scholarship to the University of North Carolina which he accepted. Michael took basketball in collage also. After his collage years he was drafted to the Chicago Bulls in the third pick of the NBA draft. Jordan was a member of the USA olympic basketball team. The Bulls won three championships with Michael on their team. Michael Jordan retired on October 6, 1993 and the number 23 was also retired. His life can be summed up in four words "I love the game". Michael Jordan then established his own basketball camp at Elmhurst collage for fifth to twelfth graders. Now, he is in the Hall Of Fame.
Rating:
My rating of this book would be four stars. I gave this book four stars because I like to watch/play basketball. Micheal Jordan is probably my favorite player, and this book explains a lot about him. This book explained about jordan's life very good and it contained a lot of information. The way that this book was written helped me picture all of the events described.The only thing that I didn't like about this book was that it didn't really say much about his experience with the Chicago Bulls.
I recommend this book to anybody who likes basketball and would like to learn a little bit more about the greatest player of all time.

Takes us through his, HS, College and First Tour of NBA career with Bulls until his first retirement. Stuffed with stories and awesome pictures. Anyone who is a basketball fan or a MJ fan would like this book.
