Michael Jordan book was a book that shows how Michael Jordan stands out from most of the players in the NBA. Michael Jordan is from Wilmington North Carolina. When Michael Jordan was young he was cut from his varsity team his first try. University Of North Carolina had a big interest in him where they picked him up in 1982.As a freshmen he made a game winning shot in the final contest of the NCAA tournament. In 1984 Michael Jordan was drafted by the Chicago Bulls going on overall third pick. Michael Jordan was averaging 30 points per game. Michael use his high flying ability to get pass defenders. Michael Jordan won 3 MVP's and 3 world champion ships and 2 olympics gold metals.

Michael Jordan book was a great book, what I liked about the book was how they gave us background information about his life. Also I liked how the book gave us his scoring statistics in the NBA.This book motivated me to never give up because, even though Michael Jordan got cut from his varsity team he never gave up. I would recommend this book to basketball players because, it gives you the eagerness to work hard and never give up.

I thought this book is specific in examples of a true basketball legend. Michael Jordan swooshes 3-pointers, he dunks backwards,and he even does alleoops. Another example of his greatness: his shooting average is 30 points per game, while the average NBA player scores only 20 points.

This book also gives a sneak peek on how Jordan plays during the game and what moves he likes to make. It shows how really good basketball players have to share, not hog the ball, and be sportsmanlike to their teamates to get them to work together. For example, the coach states how Michael Jordan is the best but still
passes the ball to his teammates.

The book Michael Jordan Basketball Great by Sean Dolan tells the story of Michael Jordan and his basketball career. Overall, I thought the book was good especially since I like basketball and Michael Jordan. The problems the characters encountered were Jordan being cut from his high school basketball team. I could definitely relate to the part wear Jordan was injured and came back early even when the doctors told him not to. The best part of the book was when Jordan was pretty much the entire Bulls team and he lead them to a title . I would recommend this book to anyone who likes basketball. Overall, I thought the book was a good book.

I found reading this book very fascinating because I know Michael played baseball when he got older and retired from basketball for a while but I didn't know that baseball was his first love when he was younger. Its just amazing to be averaging 32.3 points a game and at the back of this book its cool to see all his stats also he was called bald headed in school and felt goony looking
