Do The Mike Thing

Conrad Pugh

His Airness himself, His achievements are never ending. He's inspired me in so many ways. I have almost everything Jordan imaginable. The way he played is just so crazy. No one to this day can compare to Micheal Jordan. He holds the record with Wilt Chamberlain for the most Consecutive seasons. (7) from 1986-1987 - 1992-1993. The way he plays and lives life day to day is truly inspirational. He has been my favourite player since I was old enough to follow the NBA. Himself and Scottie Pippen were the two people who made me want to play basketball. And ever since the day I first held the basketball in my hands I knew that it was the only sport for me. I grew up idolising Michael Jordan and Tupac. And today they both remain my idols. To remind me of this I have a number of Micheal Jordan posters placed around my room. One of which is on my roof. So every night before I go to sleep I look at MJ himself and aspire to one day acheive even one of the achievments he did. And then when I wake up. I wake up looking at one of my lifetime heros, so that truly makes my day. Waking up and looking at the 1997 NBA Finals Poster "Foul Shot" is just an unexplainable sensation. Even getting the chance to enter this competition is truly amazing. Having a shot at winning one of the things in life that I would do anything at all for, is just a state beyond euphoria. I'm a 15 year old New Zealander currently living in Australia with ambitions to travel to Atlanta Georgia, to attend an Arts School and also pursue a basketball career. And I think these shoes will motivate me to do more and achieve more. Cause like his Airness himself said. "I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying." So this is why I entered this competition. It would mean the world to me to win. So please vote for me.
