An excerpt from this biography book on Michael Jordan's story:
There are a few people whose names are synonymous with the sport they play. When we think about boxing, we think of Muhammad Ali. When we talk about baseball, we remember Babe Ruth. And when it comes to the game of basketball, there is only one name we can think of that best defines what the sport is all about—Michael Jordan.
Michael Jordan has always been an icon in basketball. He is widely regarded as the greatest of all time or at least one of the greatest players who have ever played the sport of basketball. That is why we often associate Michael Jordan with basketball even though it has been more than two decades since he left the Chicago Bulls in 1998 to retire for the second time in his career.
There’s a reason why Jordan built up one of the greatest careers that anyone has ever seen, not only in the NBA but throughout professional sports. MJ changed the way the game was played and captivated different fans and fellow players alike with his different brand of basketball and the spunk and sheer confidence he exuded whenever he was on the court.
Before Jordan, shooting guards and swingmen were never really regarded as truly dominant players who could take over games in an instant. Shooting guards were merely asked to shoot, as the name of the position implies. While there were some really good shooting guards such as Sam Jones, Gail Goodrich, and “Pistol” Pete Maravich, they were too far in between and none of them truly had the combination of size, skill, and athleticism that allowed them to take over their own teams as the cornerstones of their franchise.
Taking his cue from the league’s first highflying wing, Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Michael Jordan took what his predecessors had and turned it into something better and entirely unique to his own style of play. Jordan made use of his athletic gifts and became a highflying and attacking wing similar to Dr. J himself.
