HELLO MR TAN!
This is a joint post from LiangKai, Yicheng, and HongKai.
the superman we're doing on is Michael Jordan =]


Michael Jordan, towering 6 ft 6, ( 1.98M), weighing 98kg. This shooting guard, number 23 from Chicago Bulls, is named the greatest basketball player that ever walked this earth. He quoted, "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."







Jordan, got his nickname, "His Airness", "AirJordan" and the G.O.A.T, the Greatest of all Time, when he did a Free Throw Dunk during a slamdunk contest. His shoe, AirJordan, is a bighit in the market and many basketballers around the would love to buy his shoe to wear. He has also acted in the show Space Jam, which is the time i really got to know who was Michael Jordan, he is the Man that can dunk from halfcourt. haha

Michael Jordan, the greatest player ever, won the NBA's most vaulable player award five times, he had led the Chicago Bulls to the league championship 6 times. This crazy player led the Bulls to the League championship in 1991, 1992, and 1993. And went to play professional baseball as he claimed that he always wanted to play baseball since young. He gave up baseball and continued his Basketball career in Chicago in 1996, 1997 and 1998. He was the star player in his team, with his "sidekicks" Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman, they led the Bulls to being the lead Championship in his return. He was the best player, with the highest scoring record of 33.4 points per game in the playoffs. He is one of the best defensive players in the league and has made it into the nba defensive first team nine times. And was even named the NBA Best Defensive Player of the year.




Now for some history on Mike's early days.

When he was in High School, he was not towering, and was only 1.80M. I SAY ONLY! What the hell? HE IS ONLY 1.80 and mr tan, how tall are u? BUT, after 1 year, he freaking grew by 10 cm. like WOW. He was 17 and he grew by 10 cm, and before he knew it, he could kiss the the rim. He trained rigorously and finally got into the varsity team. He managed to average 25 points per game, and he freaking averaged a TRIPLE DOUBLE when he was a senior. Ask me what is triple double i you do not understand.
He then finally got drafted into NBA as the 3rd overall pick. Gaining fans support even from opposing teams. He, as a rookie, appeared on a sports magazine, quoting "A Star Is Born". He was also voted into the NBA all-star in his rookie year. But no one passed the ball to him, but Mike was not much affected, as they were jealous of him. And continued to have a fruitful season.

Michael Jordan totaled 6 Finals MVP, earning a MVP every time they won the championship. He was the G.O.A.T, the greatest basketball player that ever lived. But without his teammates, he would not have won all the championships in his career.

Michael Jordan has many famous quotes, some that i find really inspiring and some that applies to me as well! here are they...

"Even when I'm old and grey, I won't be able to play it, but I'll still love the game." – Michael Jordan

"I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying." – Michael Jordan

"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." – Michael Jordan

"Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen." – Michael Jordan ( in this case, others would be HIM )

"Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game." – Michael Jordan THIS I AGREE

"One thing I believe to the fullest is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships." – Michael Jordan

"If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." – Michael Jordan

Once Michael gets up there he says, 'Well, maybe I'll just hang up here in the air for a while, just sit back.' Then all of a sudden, he says, 'Well, maybe I'll 360. No I changed my mind. I’ll go up on the other side.' He’s just incredible." – Magic Johnson, on Michael Jordan's aerial artistry
