Big Names In Basketball
By Leon Groom
There are many things that people must do, despite what is
currently going on in their personal life. The person may be
dealing with divorce, illness, or even the death of a family
member, yet they still have to go to work or take care of
children. There is a former NBA player that most fans consider
to be the best player ever in professional basketball. The
former player’s name is Michael Jordan, and he was excellent on
offense and defense. Michael Jordan played for the Chicago
Bulls, and he helped the Bulls to win six titles.
Unfortunately, despite his talent, things weren’t always great
for Michael Jordan. Along with fame and fortune comes
heartbreak, just like for everyone else. In 1995, Michael and
the Bulls played the season of a lifetime, and were headed to
the playoffs once again. But in the middle of everything,
something happened that no one had ever expected. Michael
Jordan’s dad was shot and killed in his home in North Carolina.
Of course this was devastating for Jordan, and he even felt that
he couldn’t go on and participate in the playoffs. Miraculously,
just when Michael had just about given up, he heard a voice from
his father, telling him that he was still with him, no matter
what. This made Michael break down in tears, ultimately deciding
to go out and win the championship for his dad—and win the
championship, he did.
Many of us think that we have problems in our lives that cause
us to be unable to go on, but just imagine what NBA players must
go through. They have to quickly get themselves together, no
matter what happens in their personal lives that affects them in
a major way. They have fans and team member who are counting on
them, and don’t want to be let down. One thing that people need
to realize, though, is that just because they are professional
basketball players, doesn’t mean that they aren’t human. NBA
players are people, too, and they have feelings and emotions,
just like everyone else, and should be allowed an adequate
amount of time to mourn the death of a loved one.
