There were many sports to participate in and he was good at all of them. But Basketball was his favorite.
He was named player of the year after his great performance his junior year. Jordan succeeded in the NBA like any other player would want to. Unlike any other rookie, he was already making a name for himself. He led his team in scoring and he scored more points than any other player in the NBA that season. This wasn’t a normal type of thing you usually see from a rookie.
His vision for pass always made him passed exciting balls. That is a super star should do. You can score, and make your teammates score too. So I still think T-mac is a greater leader as a basketball
