As a college player, Michael Jordan was mediocre. In highschool, he was actually cut from the basketball team. Does that inspire you?

There’s a documentary about him.

I know close to nothing about him an I don’t like basketball.

But he seems awesome 😎

@User41 he hit a game winner to win the NCAA Championship his freshman year. He was a beast at UNC. He played on the Olympic team in 84 as a college player and Bobby Knight said he was the greatest basketball player he had ever seen. He was saying this about college MJ. Jordan was the third overall pick in the draft. Mediocre players aren’t picked third in the draft.

You’re speaking of the last dance on espn right? I saw it to. I think you misunderstood it.

Idk anything about it.

He wasn't a stellar player during his first year of college, which is what I'm referring to. Jordan said it himself. @AlyssaG

@SW-User And yet he was on the floor in the national championship game with the game on the line as a freshman and hit the winning shot at North Carolina one of the elite programs in the country.
