In order to fully understand the man who would go on to become Michael Jordan, it’s important to know a little more about his early life. As well as the circumstances that shaped him into the man he was to become. Jordan was born in New Haven, Connecticut, on December 17, 1963. His father, James, played in the NBA for the Milwaukee Bucks and the Chicago Bulls, where he won the NBA Championship in the flu season of the 1968-69 NBA season. His mother, Deloris, was a schoolteacher. The youngest of three children, Jordan was the only boy. He was close to his older sister, Butree,

Rise to the top of the NBA:

At just 13 years old, Jordan was scouted by the NBA out of his high school, Laney High School, in Wilmington, Delaware. After being held back a year to finish high school, Jordan was signed with the NBA’s Chicago Bulls. He was the youngest player in the league at the time and faced a lot of adversity. Jordan’s game was never going to be flashy, and it was difficult for him to stand out in the Bulls’ star-studded line up. However, the team did have a bright future.

During the early 80s, the team had a number of young talented players, led by star Jimmy Butler. This included future players such as Derrick Rose and Luol Deng. Despite the talent, the team struggled to win games. They made the playoffs in the first two years, but were never able to advance past the first round. Injuries were also a problem for the am, which made it even harder for Jordan to shine. However, despite the setbacks and adversities, Jordan remained determined to succeed. He often practiced for hours on end, often with a plastic ball, with his team mate Scottie Pippen. Jordan also made many sacrifices to help his team mates, such as giving up the chance of making millions of dollars in endorsements to share the spotlight with them. He also faced another major obstacle. At the height of his career, Jordan was diagnosed with a severe ankle injury. It was feared that the injury could end his playing career, and end his dream of playing in the NBA. After many months of treatment and rehabilitation, Jordan finally made a full recovery, but he was forced to wait for his chance to shine.

Struggles and adversities :

It was a moment that gave the team huge confidence. They knew that if they stuck together, they could make it far in the playoffs. However, the team had to first defeat the Washington Bullets, the team that beat them in the first ound the year before. After a hard-fought game, the team were able to pull off the win. With this victory, the Bulls were through to the Eastern Conference Finals. However, the optimism that the victory gave them was short-lived. In the ver next game, the team were defeated by the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was at this point that Jordan’s ankle injury became a serious problem. He was unable to perform at the highest level. The injury forced him to miss a game, and it also affected his speed and agility, two of his main assets. The injury was a major setback for the team.
