Michael Jordan Biography

Born: February 17, 1963
Brooklyn, New York
African American basketball player

Basketball superstar Michael Jordan is one of the most successful, popular, and wealthy athletes in college, Olympic, and professional sports history.

Jordan said he planned to play one more season for the Wizards. He was also named the league's Most Valuable Player (MVP) and became the first player to lead the league in both scoring and steals. We meet children on the autistic spectrum or with learning disorders or attention deficit disorder who have used neuroplastic techniques to achieve normal lives, and  sufferers who have seen symptoms of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and cerebral palsy radically diminished.

His series of literary portraits of exceptional people at moments of transformation appeared in Saturday Night magazine and won four Canadian National Magazine Gold Awards, including the National Magazine Award President’s Medal, for the best article published in Canada in the year 2000. With unassuming respect for all he observes, Doidge profiles the pioneers and practitioners of neuroplastic therapy and healing….

Also in 2000, Jordan celebrated the first year of his $1 million grant program to help teachers make a difference in their schools. For the Love of the Game: My Story.

In September 2001, after months of rumors, Jordan announced that he was ending his three-year retirement to play for the Wizards at age thirty-eight. In his first season he was named to the All-Star team and was later honored as the league's Rookie of the Year.

“Brilliant and highly original.

New York: Warner Books, 1992. Illness, injury, and at times a lack of concentration hurt the team. In the 1997–98 season the Bulls were again in the playoffs, and again they faced tough competition.

The team won the ACC championship, and Jordan made the clutch jump shot that beat Georgetown University for the championship of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

Education

After winning the E.J. Pratt Prize for Poetry at age 19, Doidge won early recognition from the literary critic Northrop Frye, who wrote that his work was “really remarkable… haunting and memorable.” At the University of Toronto, he studied classics and philosophy, and graduated with high distinction, then earned his medical degree.

After high school he accepted a basketball scholarship to the University of North Carolina, where he played under head coach Dean Smith.
