I will be blogging about Michael Jordan, and facts about him. Michael Jordan is known for one of the best shooting guards ever to play the game of basketball. Also Michael did play Right field for the Chicago White Sox for 2 years. Then back to basketball his rookie year was for the bulls in ’96. He was very successful in basketball and scored 32,292 points through his whole NBA career. He also has baseball and basketball cards of him, and his most expensive card is his 1986 Topps basketball card, and that can cost as much as 10,000 dollars in mint condition. Michael Jordan was also elected into the NBA hall of fame in 2009. Next is that he was named MVP of the year five times in his career. And with that he is a ten time NBA leading scorer. Not only could he have his fame on the court but he has the record of being on the cover of sports illustrated 49 times. He went to college for North Carolina and played basketball for them. Then usually whenever he went up to dunk he would stick his tongue out, that was his trademark move. Also he has his own brand of clothing.
Michael family has six members and they are Deloris Jordan (mother), James Jordan (Father), James R. Jordan Jr. (brother), Larry Jordan (brother), Roslyn Jordan (sister), and Deloris Jordan (sister). Michael is very dedicated to his family and his work that he puts in to playing ball.

Lebron

I will be blogging about Lebron James today one of my favorite NBA stars. Lebron Started basketball when he was just a little tike in his hometown Akron, Ohio. Also Lebron’s dad left Lebron because he could not really handle having a kid in his older teens. One thing I wonder is how does Lebron’s real dad feel right now? If I were him I would be really devastated because his son is one of the best players to ever play in the NBA. Lebron has a talent that very few people have; he can do just about anything in the game of basketball. One of the many reasons I like Lebron is because he is amazing and he is not a ball hog on the court. Then he puts on a show for the crowd with his dunks, three-pointers, ball handling skills, and passes. Also I love the story about his him and his high school team, and all the hardships him and his teams fought through. In the movie it shows how tough life was for Lebron growing up.
Lebron played high school basketball with St. Vincent- St. Mary high school in Akron. He didn’t go to college and was selected first overall in the NBA draft.
