It was really hard to guess who the greatest athlete of all time was… until Michael Jordan came along.

In no other sport has an athlete dominated the game with such grace and humility. Michael was not just a fast, smart and powerful basketball player, but he separated himself from everyone else by being creative and improvising the way basketball was played.

Michael made the impossible… possible.

Michael’s favorite sport was actually baseball because his dad James loved it so much.

It was his brother Larry that got Mike to jump into basketball. But Michael was a late bloomer around the hoops. He was even cut by his high school team in his sophomore year.
