Michael Jordan
OTL: Jordan has not left the building
I read an article about Michael Jordan's exit from his basketball playing career and transition into normality and current life today. The writer is making the argument that while Michael is finished with his playing career, the competitive fire that resides inside of him will always be a part of his personality. Whether its challenging some of the charlotte bobcats to a one on one pick up game, or playing black jack until he wins, he will compete until he comes out victorious. This characteristic comes as a gift and a curse. In terms of basketball, it was the best gift that Jordan possessed. In life after basketball, however, it isnt such a luxury. while he had a lustrious career, the writer argues that Jordan still reminesces about the days of him playing for Chicago, and realizes that he will never be at that level ever again. This haunts jordan. So he finds other outlets in his life to fuel his competitive fire. He golfs religiously, works out regularly, and often times plays one on one against the Bobcats players until he cannot move the next day and needs treatment. The article was written fairly recently and is about Jordans current life. So he related the article to the current era when with mentioning the new team Charlotte bobcats and how Jordan owns them. The writer also alludes to the fact that one day in the future Jordan will be forgotten and a likely name to take his place will be Lebron James. He also mentions the constant comparisons between Michael and Lebron that already take place in our current sports era.
