Michael Jordan

The book I read was Michael Jordan written by Sean Dolan. I thought it was a very good book because it tells a lot about Michael Jordan. The book tells all about his high school years, to his college years, and his NBA career. I also liked the book because it tells how dedicated he was to basketball and how he loved the game. The book tells about all the awards he won, like three championships in a row, the MVP Award, and best defensive player of the year. He also won a dunk contest with some amazing dunks. I think this book is for all the basketball players and all the fans of Michael Jordan.

High Flying Book

This book of Michael Jordan's life was a great. I tells how he got to be who he is today. Michael didn't havethat hard of a life when he was yuonger but when he went into high school at Laney a little high school in Wilmington he had problems because kids would make fun of his bald head and his big ears when he was around girls he liked. Then Michael starsted to jip class to practice on his basketball skills and that really effected his grades. Now its Michael's senior year and he doesn't think that any college recruits will look at him. But one coach gave him a chance to take a tour of the schooland see if Michael liked it. That coaches name was Dean Smith who was the basketball coach of the North Carolina Tarheels.Michael left from North Carolina in his junior year and entered the NBA draft and was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in the 1st round and he was the 3rd pick overall. Michael Lead the the Bulls to 6 NBA titles later in his career and then retired after his 6th title.I think that who ever reads this book will have a good time because it tells you how Michael Jordan grew up to become who he is today.
