Michael Jeffrey Jordan. One of the best nba players all time. One of the most famous person in history. One of my friends in high school. I show great affection toward him for all he’s done and how great he was to me. I was a freshman he was a junior so I got to play with him one year which was my sophomore. He invited me for dinner tonight and boy was I excited. His house was enormous. Michael and his wife and kids lived in a rural area. The gates open and I drove in. A man parked my car and I walked to the front door.

I repeated,” I that would be amazing.” He said how about you?” I said I am a Surgeon for

He said,” Wow I knew you would help people out someday”. I said,”Ya” with a smile. Then the food came out.

I said,” you don’t look bad yourself Mrs.Jordan” She repeated,” Awe you would always the compliment type”.
Then I prayed over the food,”Come Lord Jesus, our guest to be, and bless these gifts bestowed by Thee.
Then the whole family said,”amen” We all started eating.”The food is great just like the old days”. She said “Yep” with a big smile.
I started talking about how,” I wish Mr.Jordan was here”. After I was done talking I could see on Michael’s face that he felt dilapidated because he wasn’t here. His unspoken way made me feel bad that I brought it up.
Then Mrs.Jordan started talking about Intricating things about stuff about Michael when he was a kid.
Like,”He always used to play basketball and his little goal we got him for christmas”. When I looked at Michael his was laughing very hard.
Michael suffers great depression since his dog Ked died. Most of his family and other colleagues address him to see if he is through with Ked’s death, but really he was depressed all along. “I can't tell how sad i really am about Keds versus how sad i am in general”(Cameron 223). In addition, Michael gets sad of unusual things. “I can picture her eating a banana in her tiny office. This, too, makes me sad”(226). Michael gets depressed about Mrs. Dietrich being alone. Also, Michael gets heartbroken about other little things. “I think of her learning to write beautifully as a child and then growing up to be a guidance counsellor, and this makes me unhappy”(227). Michael is not just depressed of his dogs death, but every little problems in his life.

Michael Jordan also had the common sense to put others first and looking out for others, instead of always putting and thinking about himself first. He always thought about his teammates first and did whatever he had to for them. Porter writes, “I am not going to let you lose your first game” (34). Jordan says this to teammate Doug Collins after Doug comments that Jordan doesn’t have to do all of it on his own. Since it was Collins first game he didn’t want him to lose.

Imagine a basketball player in a NBA finals match. In game 6, to close the deal and win his sixth ring to prove he is the best basketball player ever. Down by 1 he got the rebound from a missed shot from the opposing team. In the 4th quarter with 14 seconds remaining. With a defender guarding him tight. He had the ball and started to take his defender to a dance to the basket. So he drove to the basket and did a step back, putting the ball between his legs. Leaving to defender’s ankles broken and on the floor with 5 seconds left! After that he shot an open jump shot for the lead. BANG nothing but the bottom of the net. After that he had humbled all the critics and haters that he had. Michael Jordan, the greatest player of all time, had changed the game of basketball and made it become very popular internationally.

Just then, the girl turned and spoke to him. Pointing to one food item in the serving line she asked, “What do you suppose they call that?”
“Man Hope, look at all this breakfast!” I delightfully squealed, as we eyed the food laid out before us at Vista’s.
“Now that I think about it what food did we eat on Eath no Erth or Eah, whatever, but what did we eat?” Mary asked.
He explained that he'd taken the family's favorite recipe and added a little something new. The children asked what it was.
He asked me how I kept my admittedly expensive mouth so healthy (he noticed that I have more than a pirate's ransom of gold fillings in my mouth!). I shared my regular dental routine with him. I developed this routine on the advice of my past dentists and based on my knowledge as a Doctor of Chinese Medicine. The routine is simple:
‘That’s okay. Doctor Pax sewed up my head.’ She pointed up and he stopped to admire her stitches.
