5 star book

If you are a Michael Jordan fan and love the game of basketball then this book is for you. This is probably one of the best books Matt Christopher has written. In his famous writing style he tells the story of Michael Jordan from "The Rack" to his third and final retirement. It is a fast paced, action-packed, and fact-filled book that you will not be able to put down. It highlights information from when he was barely able to dribble the ball to many all-star appearances and many MVP'S. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read about a hard worker and the best basketball player of all time. The story of "His Airness" will not disappoint you.

Great Book

James and Deloris met in high school after attending a basketball game. They married on Feb. 17, 1963. Michael one of four children was born. The youngest son of the Jordan household, baseball was Michaels favorite sport. One day his father put up two wooden backboards and baskets and gave the boys a basketball. They called it the Rack. Michael practiced often to try to keep up with his brothers. When in high school it was recommended he attend a basketball camp known as a Five Star Camp. Education was always important to his parents, they knew that unless he was a good student all of his athletic talent would go to waste. In the fall of 1981 Michael enrolled in the University of North Carolina. After playing for three years there was little left for Michael to accomplish. He decided to turn pro and on June 19, 1984 he was picked by the Chicago Bulls. He made history and won championships for the Bulls and won consecutive MVP awards.I liked this book very much. It is very hard to shorten in length the information this book has given me about the life of this great basketball star.The saddest part of the book was when they talked about his father dying. From what the police could piece together James had apparantley pulled of the highway to take a nap and was attacked by two eighteen year old boys. They were later arrested and charged for the murder of James Jordan. Michael retired to spend more time with his family.
