Lover of Basketball, Sportsmanship, UNC

Who feels defeat, exhilaration, and working hard

Who finds happiness in love of the game of basketball

Who needs someone to push him to play harder

Who gives hope to any one trying to make it into the pros

Who fears any type of injury, defeat, and lose of loved ones

Who would like to see more kids playing basketball

Who enjoys playing basketball!

Who like to wear basketball shorts when playing basketball

  1. I really enjoyed your poem! It captures who Michael Jordan is and always will be. To me it was humorous because sadly, when I think of Michael Jordan I remember his stint pretending he was a baseball player..
