Childhood

• As a kid Michael loved baseball. He played
  pitcher for his school team. Michael Jordans
  team was in the final game of the season, the
  championship. Michael threw a 1-hitter and became
  MVP of his team. Since he was MVP, he won a
  scholarship to baseball camp. He was pretty good

  it.

  team twice. The USA won gold both times. In 1984
  Mike played in Los Angeles. In the game for the

Space Jam!

• Michael is not only a basketball star, he is a
  movie star too. He starred in the movie Space
  Jam. The characters from looney toons such as
  Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and Liola
  Bunny, all act along with Michael Jordan to try
  and keep aliens from keeping them as prisoners in
  their stupid amusement park. The aliens get super
  basketball powers from Charles Barkley, Patrick
  Ewing, Muggsy Bogues, Larry Johnson, and Shawn
  Bradley. The aliens challenge them to a
  basketball game and if the aliens win Michael and
  all the Looney Toons are prisoners for the rest
  of their lives. But if the Looney Tunes win they
  get to be free.

Family Now

• His Airness married Junita Vanoy Jordan. They
  have 3 kids, Jeffrey, Marcus, and Jasmine. All
  his kids have December birthdays! Jeffrey was
  born in 1988, Marcus in 1990, and Jasmine in 1992.

18
Conclusion

• I think Michael Jordan will be entered into the
  Naismith Memorial basketball hall-of-fame, dont
  you? After a 14-season career Michael Jordan was
  probably the greatest basketball player that ever
  lived.
