If I were to wake up one morning,
and be in the body of anyone I choose, I would be in the body of Michael Jordan
in his prime. Michael Jordan was a basketball great, who was drafted into the
NBA to the Chicago Bulls in 1984. Over his career, he has won numerous awards,
and popularized basketball around the globe. He was a member of the famous
“Dream Team”, a team thought of as the best basketball team ever assembled.
They competed in the U.S. Olympics, and wiped the floor with every team they
encountered. MJ, as he is referred to sometimes, won the Slam Dunk Contest,
using his signature dunk to win. MJ would run from and leap from the free throw
line, dunking the basketball. This dunk one him the dunk contest, and is his
logo for his clothing and shoe line, Air Jordan. In his career he developed
several nicknames, “His Airness”, “Air Jordan”, etc. His leaping ability was
widely known. Aside from basketball, Michael Jordan became an icon for various
brands, selling the products on TV. Some of the brands that he worked for
included Nike, Coca-Cola, Gatorade, and many others. The face of Michael Jordan
became so popular that he even starred in a movie, Space Jam. Although his
basketball career was shortly interrupted by a year in the MLB, he returned to
play for several years after, winning 3 more NBA championships, on top of his
already acquired 3. The reasons that I would enjoy being Michael Jordan for a
day mostly pertain to me utilizing his body. At 6 foot 6 inches, I would easily
be able to dunk the ball, something that I would have fun doing for an entire
day. With the athletic talent of Michael Jordan, I could go to the basketball
court, and entertain myself all day if I chose to. Personally, basketball is my
favorite sport. If I would be able to spend a day in the body of arguably the
best basketball player in history’s body, it would be a dream come true.
