Article Summary: Michael Jordan And Bill Cartwright

     When looking at Jordan and James’ fame, they are both equally popular, but it is how they handle the fame that sets them apart. Jordan is a class act, meaning he carries himself with honorable pride, not vanity. After Jordan signed with Nike his game only got better. He never felt as if he was too good for improvement and showed everyone great respect. James differs after he signed with Nike, his game flat-lined. He never showed any kind of improvement in his game, and his team never got any better. It seemed like he only tried when he had the ball, especially when his team was getting blown out.

Most professional athletes did not finish their college education, because they wanted to test their skills in a professional sport league like the NBA, NFL, or the NHL. In my opinion, many athletes should do what Michael Jordan did and put their education before professional career, so they can develop, grow, and still succeed as a college athlete

In 1984, after he won the championship at North Carolina, Michael Jordan was signed to a five year endorsement deal by Nike. The contract was worth about 2.5 million dollars.

A person who does not win, feel bad and down about themselves. A “winner” feels good about themselves and can be considered conceited because they think they are better than everybody else.

Where LeBron is more of a facilitator and Point-Forward type of player, Jordan was always the pure scorer and lock-down defender. Now with LeBron’s third championship in the record books, he is, according to many, “half way” to Jordan.
