Michael Air Jordan Michael Jordan has been considered the greatest basketball player to ever play. He was born on February 17th 1963 in Brooklyn New York. As a sophomore he was a skinny 5-11 guard who got cut from his basketball team but after the next summer he grew to 6-3 and was starting to become really good at basketball. He started his basketball stardom at North Carolina University after he made a game winning shot to help North Carolina win the NCAA championship. During his sophomore year in college he was named College player of the year.

Nevertheless, I continued on with my dad’s support and mentoring to be the best player the Arkansas River Valley had ever laid eyes on. Now that I had my goal of becoming an NBA player in front of me, I wanted to know how to get there. I began by asking my dad questions about salary, work environment, would it be easy to grow as player and what type of education I would need. NBA Salary Expectations As I continued throughout junior high and High school, my attention was quickly drawn to the amount of money that professional players made for playing a sport they love. Salary expectations for this profession exceeded my wildest dreams and I couldn’t even begin to imagine what I could do if I made that kind of money.

Although Armstrong persistently denied allegations of doping, even stating he was the most tested athlete in the world and suing accusers of libel, he finally admitted to doping in a television interview conducted by Oprah Winfrey in 2012. Armstrong was a child athlete, an Iron Kids Triathlon winner at the young age of 13 as well as national triathlon champion in 1989 and 1990. Winning the Tour de France seven consecutive times was no easy feat, he was a champion, a legend. Sponsors such as Nike, RadioShack, Anheuser-Busch and Oakley believed in him and made him wealthy. He faced many critics throughout his victory years, and continuously denied every allegation of cheating by doping.
Every athlete strives to be the best they can be, but dedication plays a key role in being the best. Michael Jordan, for example, was cut from his high school basketball team. With dedication, he worked hard, kept his mind right, and ended up playing in the NBA. Jordan would stay after practice, play on the weekends, and work in the off season striving to get better. He had the dedication to make 1000 jumpers a day, and that is why he is arguably the best to ever play.
Not surprisingly, Bryant was offered scholarships to almost every major college and university in the country. Not only was he a brilliant basketball player, he was also a good student, scoring an above-average 1,100 on his Scholastic Aptitude Test.

Vanessa met Kobe Bryant in November 1999.
He even got me my very own basketball hoop in my backyard for my birthday, but unfortunately as time flew by life took all this from us. As each day goes by, there has been many times were I have asked myself, “Why did it have to be my grandfather, a person who I’ve trusted with everything, a person who knew what to do or say to make me happy and who was someone that was really special in my life?” I remember when my brother and I first noticed that there was something wrong with our grandfather. I will never forget that day. We were all outside playing some pick-up basketball, just having a good time together, laughing, messing around, and this was just about a couple of months after my birthday. It was my brother and I against our Grandfather, this being because I was very small at the age of 7 and trying to shoot at a ten foot basketball hoop was pretty difficult.
