Basketball Vs. Basketball

Michael Jordan is remembered for single-handedly globalizing basketball and giving people a reason to believe that all things are possible. Jordan’s charisma as a basketball player made him an undeniable leader that the NBA may never see again. Though LeBron James may be considered the greatest NBA basketball player currently active, he should not yet be considered in the conversation for the greatest player of all time. That title simply belongs to the legendary Michael Jordan. Throughout his career, he dominated on the court with his unstoppable defensive and offensive strategies along with the leadership and determination he provided for his teammates. No one will ever have as big of an impact on not only the NBA, but the game of basketball

So who’s really better men or women? It’s all up to someone’s choice but I have to say that women are better due to certain statistics shown throughout the essay. Everyone will all have a different viewpoint based on their preference of athletes. However, I believe that a woman can do anything a man can do regardless if it sports or an occupation. It doesn’t matter if someone likes the WNBA better or the NBA better they are both great sports and they both have great athletes.

Michael Jeffrey Jordan was born in Brooklyn, New York on February 17, 1963. He is regarded as one of the legends that have played the game of Basketball. Michael Jordan is also known as His Airness, MJ and Air Jordan. He has been credited as one of the people that gave the NBA its worldwide acclaim. Despite the huge number of trophies that he has won, the numerous commercial endorsements and other personal accomplishments; Michael Jordan is a perfect model that teaches us how to overcome obstacles like a genius. It is important to note that there are many things he did that showed his inner strength, but I would be highlighting the genesis of his playing Career.

Michael Jordan believed that hard work and determination would someday pay off for him. Many people think that Michael Jordan was born great, and that he didn’t have to work hard. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school varsity team, told he was not good enough to play college basketball, and overcame his father’s murder. I believe that for these three reasons, he is an example of what perseverance and determination can

There’s a saying that everyone’s said at least once in their lifetime, I’m sure. It’s so cliché, but now I know that there is so much truth behind it. “Believe in yourself.” Rather than giving up on yourself, use your failures to make you better. Learn how to bounce back from adversity and learn from those experiences. This is called using your growth mindset. According to Carol Dweck, research psychologist, in her book Mindset, “In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.” It wasn’t until the summer between my junior and senior year of high school that I learned this and of course I learned it the hard way. I had played club basketball for four summers in a row with the Longmont Rush basketball club. I loved the game of basketball and I had spent countless hours working on my skills on the court. I even wanted to play in college. I already had schools scouting me. Unfortunately, in my final season, just before my senior year, my biggest fear came true.

I choose this quote because it reminds me to never give up. When I think about it, it reminds me when I will be doing something hard like playing a level in a game or a shot that is difficult, to keep doing it over and over again until I can finally master it. Also, I think this is an important quote from Bo Jackson to say because he probably had to set his goals high. He played two professional sports, football and baseball. He probably had to try really hard when he was a good football player in the NFL and wanted to be a player in the MLB. He set his goal high, practiced and practiced and didn’t stop until he got to his goal. He also is one of the few rare players

INTRODUCTION: “I have failed over and over again in my life and that is why I succeeded” a quote by Michael Jordan. How many of you believe failure is a prerequisite to success? , how many of you believe that the difficulties and obstacles you’ve faced changed who you are as a person? well, life is not a wish granting factory , it will feel long and tough , eventually at one point you will fail , we all do , but it’s not about failing it’s about how you perceive failure , that is what defines you as a person , Samuel Becket once

We are going to talk about the differences about the National Basketball Association and the Woman National Basketball Association. Because right now the popularity on the WNBA is known than the NBA, mainly because of the excitement of the NBA brings to the fans is a lot more entertaining than the WNBA, obviously because in the NBA have more money to pay their players and to have nice venue. An interview on ESPN said that an NBA game draws over double the attendance of a WNBA game, which means that there will be more ticket sales as well as merchandise sales and endorsements.  This means that owners of WNBA teams are making much less money

I did not know how to tell him about the most depressing failure I have experienced. It all began two years ago, when I first joined the basketball club in my high school. I had always been a great fan of basketball and wished that one day I could become a NBA star. It turned out that I could not do any of the fabulous skills the famous players did; instead I always lost the ball and made mistakes in passing balls. However, I never gave up hope, holding the belief that “numerous practice will make perfect eventually.”

“Success comes after you conquer your biggest obstacles and hurdles.” I like that quote by Stephen Curry, because I conquer a lot of difficulties In my own life. Stephen had some obstacles in is basketball career that hurt his team, taken him away from the game as their lead player. I am going to tell you about my favorite NBA player.

“Challenges are what makes life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” Some people have to overcome challenges to have a meaning in life and not just give up. This is exemplified in, “The Contender,” by Derek Burnett, “Life in the Red,” by Benedict Carey, and “ Paralympic Star makes history on NBA stage,” by E Lancaster. After reading and annotating the articles about a determined Kyle Maynard, motivational Blake Leeper, and a resourceful Lakeisha Tuggle one could make the choice be successful in life and give up. But to do these things, you have to have a good attitude and “cut out” things that aren't a necessity.

Michael jordan set many goals for himself.The goals he set for himself,helped him understand that he needed to concentrate on his goals only his.By him setting himself on his goals made him reach them that shows me i can reach my goals.

The man I’m presenting to you today is an all-around champion. He’s a superstar with countless of fans. He’s a role model for millions of people who want to follow his footsteps and be just like him. Michael Jordan knew that Hard-Work and Determination was necessary to the road to success. He has paved the way not only for millions of athletes but also millions of people outside of sports because of his will to keep fighting. Everything that Jordan has done probably would not have been accomplished without his hard work, dedication, and determination to beat the odds.

“I Can Accept Failure, Everyone Fails At Something. But I Can’t Accept Not Trying”- Michael Jordan

One of the greatest basketball players ever to play still looks up to his role models to this day. His name is LeBron James. LeBron told ESPN "I watch Jordan more than anybody, for sure," James said. "But I think the greatest thing about MJ was that he never was afraid to fail. And I think that's why he succeeded so much -- because he was never afraid of what anybody ever said about him. Never afraid to miss the game-winning shot, never afraid to turn the ball over. Never afraid."(ESPN,2013). Isn’t that crazy? If Michael Jordan would have been off the chain and not acted like a professional, it could have affected the greatest player in this error. Not to say LeBron wouldn’t have played in the NBA, but would have he been as good not having someone’s footsteps to follow like
