This biography was really good because of the things it sited. For example, his early life, how he became pro, when he played baseball, hist struggles, etc… In it there were some parts of it that was not that important to his life. For example on page 15 it says “Over and above his stellar statistics, Michael wowed teammates”etc… Other than that my favorite part was Jordan had 38 points and there was 25 seconds left, he made the shot then the Bulls won the game 90-88, he made a three pointer. Afterall the biography did teach me more about Michael Jordan even more

"Michael Jordan" by Denis Doughterty is a wonderful book.In my opinion I beleive that this book is wonderful and a emotional rollercoaster because it is sad when his father was murdered during a robery and then turned happy when he won a nba championship in 1987-88 also winning mvp and defensive player of the year. Also another sad part is when he broke a tiny bone in his foot and the happy part is he made a good recovery and once he got the ball after recovering he got the ball and dunked.I thionk this book is related to the book,"Shaquill O neal" because both players are nba legends and both ended their career with a different team. i recomend this book to people who like to read books about basketball players and that are interested about a players career.

a. Biography
b. 40 pages
c. This book by Denis Dougherty is a biography about Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan is considered by many as the best basketball player of all time. He has won 6 NBA championships, 5 NBA MVPs, 6 NBA Finals MVPs, 20 Olympic gold medals, and much more. He went to high school at Emsley A. Laney. He went to college for three years at the University of North Carolina. He then skipped his final year and entered the NBA Draft. He was selected third by the Chicago Bulls behind Hakeem Olujuwan and Sam Bowie. After a few years of unsuccessful years to get a championship, they final won three championships in a row. He then retired and went and played baseball. He wasn't as successful as a baseball player so he decided to go back with the Bulls. He again won three championships making his total 6. After this he retired again. Michael did not play for a couple of years until he realized he wanted to come back to the NBA. This time, he played for the Washington Wizards. Although he still had tremendous talent, he was not able to win a championship with them and retired for the final time.
d. I liked this book overall because the author put Michael Jordan's life into a book without losing interest of the reader. Some other biographies I have read we're losing my interest. I also liked that each section in the book had significant meaning to his life.

The book I read is Micheal Jordan by Denis Daugherty. This is a pretty good book if you like sports and mostly basketball. The book follows Micheal through his life as a pro basketball player. My favorite part of the book is when he dropped out of the NBA to go to the minor league baseball an then came back to the NBA. My second favorite part is when he got drafted to the bulls and become a star. If you really don't like statistics I would not read this book. Over all this is a really good book on the greats basketball player ever to live. So good read this book its a very good book and I would tell any sports lover to read this book so go find this book in the library and read it.
