Status Updates From Michael Jordan: Legends in ...

My favorite part was when they talked about MJ sticking out his tounge. This is MJ's signature thing he used to do and many people act out this when shooting.The book states "he started to stick out his tongue as he practiced. He didn't realize it, but he took after his father who did the same" (9-10) .This shows how Micheal stuck out his tongue, he did this when he was very focused. (Cool that his father did too.)

visualize: The quote that I am using is "he dribbled the ball down court probing the defense" which I can visualize someone/ my self dribbling down a court with the defense close to me. I picked this quote because I feel like it relates to me because when I am doing a basketball game I dribble down the court also if I am playing point guard I especially do that.

The topic is making connections and Michael Jordan makes connections Back in 1984, Vaccaro convinced Nike to reach a deal with NBA rookie, Jordan. They offered him a 15-million dollar, five-year contract and created the now iconic Air Jordan brand that is how he made a connection with a brand not many had heard of at the time but now rules the sneaker community.

Micheal Jordan is one of the best basketball players Michael Jordan appears to be a determined person, a perfectionist. He has to overcome many obstacles to reach the peak in his sport so he is one if not the best at his sport. In interviews he appears friendly and likeable. There was criticism of his ungrateful speech at the 2009 Hall of Fame, and he has passed evidence of gambling addictions.

In the book Michael Jordan Legends In Sports, By Matt Christopher, Michael Jordon is Talented and creative throughout the book, through the book Michael is fearless he takes chances in basketball to pursue his dream. Michael had to work through his life to get where he is now, he had to be creative to pass his difficulty's and make it to the top.

Based on what I have read and the back of the book in "Michael Jordan: Legends in Sports", the plot archetype is The Quest, the reason why, is because throughout his career he set a goal to be the greatest basketball player of all time. I think this goes back to The Quest because he had many difficulties throughout his time on the court and in life. He pushed through the difficulties and he completed The Quest.

So far the book is talking about how Michael Jordan was a good player but sometimes he would mess up because he was not feeling good.

Animal farm is making fun of political leaders in chapter 1 by using satire. The animals represent some sort of political rebellion in Russia or something. They are taking down a leader who says they do so much for the people, and making life better for the animals.

A minor character in my book is Scotty Pippen. Although he played a big roll on the Bulls and running alongside Jordan, in the book it shows Scotty as only sometimes being there. His role in the book is loyalty. He is more than good enough to leave the Bulls and join a team where he could be the spotlight. He stays because he loves the Bulls franchise and does not want to leave the great situation he is in now.

Michael Jordan killed it in college ball coming out as a top pick in the NBA draft. He is being watched by the Chicago Bulls and Houston Rockets. Michael doesn’t really care who he gets drafted by as long as he gets drafted. I think he should go with the Bulls because Michael reminds me of a bull. Big, strong, brave, sand won’t give up.

Currently, I am reading “Michael Jordan” by Matt Christopher. So far, the book starts off with Michael Jordan playing in college for North Carolina. Everyone knows how good he is and his potential, but he’s going to have to put in much harder work to enter an NBA draft alongside Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Hakeem Olajuwon, and other legends.

The book Michael Jordan: Legends in Sports reminds me of the time that The Warriors and The Cavaliers in the NBA Finals for basketball like when Michael Jordan was also in the 1992 NBA Finals. This relates to the book because both Jordan and Lebron James lead there teams to a Championship. The NBA Finals in 1992 is a connection to the 2016 finals because Lebron and Jordan both made a big play that changed the game.

The antagonist is the book Legends is Sports: Micheal Jordan would be Lakers. Because in Michael Jordans career when he was in his prime the Lakers were also in their prime with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neill. Both these teams were hot and dominating the NBA. They met in the finals NBA twice, once in 1992 and in 1991. Michael Jordan was also hates by individual plays because Micheal is the best player in the NBA.
