Right from childhood, whenever I am asked this same question, my answer has always been the same. Michael Jeffrey Jordan aka M.J has always been my favorite right from day 1 up to this moment. My dad had this strong passion for basketball, I guess, same thing must have been applied to me.

He always keeps me by his side whenever he is watching the fan NBAgame. We really enjoyed ourselves by watching M.J play. Yeah it's true, a lot of superstars exist in Basket Ball but I think Jordan is the best among them. So permit me to say, my one and only favorite when it comes to Athletics, is Michael Jordan.

My father loved him more because he was also an African, in as much as, he grew up and lived in America. Born in New York City in the year 1963.

He is 198 centimeters tall and his Jersey number is 23. He has won award for most valuable player for up to 5 times now. How about the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player award? That, he has won for 6 times. He fell among the 50 Greatest players in the history of NBA. He is an absolute Gem. Infact, permit me to call him 'the god of Basketball'.

There is this spirit of "winning" that lives deep inside of him and I envy him because of that. He is like the Christiano Ronaldo of this present time that never give up nor slumber until he sees his team taking the lead. Mike will always throw himself into the breach to get points when the team lagged behind the other team. This man never give up. So we should try all our possible best to emulate him in all we are doing.

I love him because he plays the Basketball for passion and not for the money. Jordan, now retired, was a professional basketball player who has played 15 seasons for Washington wizards and Chicago Bulls.
