Do The Mike Thing

Joshua D'Souza

I like Michael Jordan because of his passion for the game; he always had something to show every game. His last game nearly made me cry because the crowd loved him so much, they were cheering "we want Mike". It would have been one of the best moments of my life if I were him. I can't get anything of his because I live in Australia. All I can get is stuff from footlocker which is mad but they don't have as much stuff that America do. I like him because everything he did, he made it look good; even if it was something ordinary it looked magnificent. He is my idol and I wish I could play like him. I watch Space Jam just because of the highlights at the start. If space jam were with another character instead of Michael Jordan, I wouldn't like it. It would be pleasure to have met him or shook his hand or something. I like Jordan because he wasn't up himself, I mean he knew he was good, but he wasn't up himself. He always gave everything he had from deep down in his heart. He didn't need advice from anyone but always made his own decisions on the basketball court. I don't think he even needed advice on what to do. I like Jordan because he made everyone in there seats jump when he made a move. He inspired me because he made me think anything was possible and I could achieve anything. That Foul Line Dunk 'Air Jordan' made everyone think he could fly and anything was possible if you put your mind to it and practice and try your hardest. My favourite quote of his is the one where he says, "It doesn't matter if you win as long as you give everything in your heart". This is my very favourite quote of Michael Jordan's because when I heard it I just had a blackout and pictured him saying that to me. I love Michael Jordan because all these new players like LeBron James look up to him, LeBron James even took his number. Gilbert Arenas, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Shaquille O'Neal, Tracy McGrady, Tim Duncan, Carmelo Anthony, all of those NBA superstars now all look up to Michael Jordan as I do now. He is just a freak at basketball. He is probably the most well known person all over the country. Even if you don't follow basketball or NBA, even if you hate it, you have to still know Michael Jordan. I absolutely love Michael Jordan, if it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't even like the game of basketball. Michael Jordan is just the best man ever to play the game of basketball and he is my absolute biggest and best inspiration to basketball. Please give me the shoes, because if I get them they will be the only thing ever to be signed and will be the best thing that has ever happened to me.
