Information on Michael Jordan - Part 2
In high school, Michael Jordan became a better student, more focused on his studies, and a star of three different sports – football (where he played the quarterback), baseball, and basketball. After being cut from the basketball team as a sophomore, he began to focus more on the sport and practiced each morning with the varsity coach.
Jordan received a basketball scholarship to UNC Chapel Hill and majored in geography. After making the winning shot in the 1982 NCAA Championship against Georgetown (led by future rival Patrick Ewing), he left school early when, in 1984, he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in the first round (third pick overall).
Michael played thirteen seasons for the Bulls, mostly as a shooting guard. However, his height of 6’6” combined with skills and excellent condition made him viable as a point guard and small forward as well. His many titles include Rookie of the Year (1985), defensive Player of the Year (1988), Finals MVP for every year that the Bulls reached the Finals, and two MVP Tripler Crowns.
Everybody wonders who the "Next Jordan" will be. But to tell you the truth, nobody will ever be the next Jordan. Potential candidates for Next Jordan status is Kobe, Lebron, and Wade.
