What Made Michael Jordan So Good?
I can remember reading about Michael Jordan and saying to myself, just like everyone else, why is he so good? As many of us know, to this day, many people consider him to be one of the best basketball players of all time. He is a global icon and even people who know nothing about the sport, know his name. Does Michael Jordan play more than other basketball players, is he more talented, or is he lucky? Kid Michael Jordan have a great coach, did he receive help from the day he started to play? These are only some of the guesses that can be made when discussing his greatness. Like a regular kid in love of sports, Jordan would play not only basketball but football, baseball, etc. He did practice a lot but so did many other athletes who only dream of making it where he has been.
If you understand what drove Michael, you can begin to understand why he is so good. Jordan, even as a kid, hated to lose with a deep passion. His desire to compete and to be the best was so great. He did not give up even when he was deemed too short in Laney High. As a result, he would use this event as energy for him to do things that would only improve his current situation. He would practice drills every morning and more just to keep playing. At one point in North Carolina, he was able to run the 40 yard sprint at the same pace as his teammate Buzz. To everyone"s surprise, he was able to destroy Buzz the following season because of his will to be the best even in things that were not as important.
Some players may have the desire to be the best, but are too lazy to do 190 percent while others have work ethnic but lack skill. Jordan combined skill, effort and drive. He also was committed to a standard that few will every rival. He was so focused on one particular thing and was able to put forth. To him, basketball was his only life and he was going to die for it. When he was unable to prove anything more with the Bulls, he retired because his goal was accomplished.
Michael Jordan was deemed too short in high school but willed himself to his final height (6,6)
Michael Jordan loved the game so much that he wanted to make everyone better around him.
