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.
