Basketball Superstar

Michael Jordan

Honestly, what can be said about Michael Jordan that hasn't been said a million times before. Jordan made you hold your breath as you watched him, anticipating greatness from "His Airness." At the beginning of his career, you knew you were going to see several dunks from Jordan during a game, but as time went on, he became smarter and started utilizing that unstoppable fall-away jumper a little more. Sure there weren't as many dunks, but the results were still the same - basketballs draining through the net.Jordan is arguably the best basketball player that ever lived, but not only was his success plentiful on the court, but off the court as well. Jordan transcended the game and became a trendsetter for the players of today because of his many endorsement deals, which were all deserved, especially since Jordan didn't let the money of Wall St. distract him from what he did best - winning.
