My favorite basketball player of all time Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February 17, 1963) was hailed “By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time.” as stated in the NBA (National Basketball Association) website. His unique ability of hanging in the air gave him the nickname ‘Air Jordan’. A retired professional basketball player and business man is now one of the wealthiest celebrities. According to Forbes, he ranks number 18^th.

Michael Jordan owns his own product line and the Jordan Brand is now an $800 million a year (in sales) business for Nike—and the royalty checks from that provide the bulk of Jordan’s income. Now he’s head of basketball operations for the Charlotte Bobcats.

I would just like to talk about Jordan because he is such a successful player in his time and is one of the legends. People will all think that he was always successful and have no setbacks in life. However, nobody is perfect and I just love this quote that he made

‘I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.’

I still remember the days where I use to wake up early in the morning to watch the live NBA games with my brother. We will have a ‘long breakfast’ and sit in front of our TV the whole morning.
