He is the world's most famous athlete. He has starred in commercials for trainers, fast food and underwear. He starred in the hit movie Space Jam. He is Michael Jordan, a star of stars. But has it always been this easy?
He grew up in a small town in North Carolina, USA, one of five children. Michael, youngest of three boys, was the outgoing one. "As I started to grow" he says" my father always gave more confidence to my brothers because I was taller and things were easier for me. So, I felt I had to prove myself."
He also had to face some racism. In 1971, when Michael was 7, he had an experience he will never forget. " One day, when Michael got on the school bus and took a seat at the front, a white girl told him to get up because he was black, " his mother recalls. "When he didn't, she spat on him. So he hit her" Michael was suspended from school. His parents didn't blame him, but his mother said: "Outside this door, all sorts of things will happen. Don't let it affect you"
As he grew up, Michel Jordan experienced many of the same feelings that other teenagers do. He worried about the way he looked and he never believed anyone would want to marry him. And the real reason he started playing basketball was because he thought being on the team would make him look cool.
