Mike Jordan, The Man And The Player Michael was born February 17, 1963 in Brooklyn, New York. He attended Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina. He attended the University of North Carolina. He was recently asked, "What was the first thing that went through your mind when you didn’t make the [high school] varsity team as a sophomore'" He replied, " I was very disappointed, and I thought the coach had made a mistake. But my mother said the best thing for me to do was to prove to the coach that he was wrong. And I started working on my game the day after I was cut." By the time he reached the University of North Carolina, he was ready! The Chicago Bulls were impressed with this young player and was picked up in the primary round. Michael now had the opportunity to further re-define his basketball skills and ultimately basketball as a sport. His grace, power, artistry and on court improvisational ability led him to the hoop for score after score. He joined a team that prior to his arrival had only won 28 games in the previous season. With his talents, he would improve that to over 60 wins during the regular season.
