Speech

Why michael jordan is the best basketball player?  

 I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career.

I’ve lost almost 300 games.

26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.

I’ve failed over and over again and in my life and

“That's why I succeed.

This is a quote from what I think is the best basketball player ever Michael Jordan and I am going to talk about why I think he is!

His shot.

One of the first clutch moments of his career was “the shot” to sink the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the 1989 Eastern conference playoffs. Just as famous as his shot itself was his reaction, which has been immortalized on posters,in bedrooms and most importantly around the country. It wasn’t good enough to drive him to his championship, though not yet.

His NBA titles.

Nobody will ever be able to catch up with Bill Russell for most NBA championships but his era was completely different from Jordan's. M.J still managed to guide the bulls to six NBA titles and he won the finals MVP award all six times he won.  

 

The shrug.  

It can’t always be explained,as Jordan would have readily admitted in the 1992 finals, when he caught fire from behind the arc against the portland trail blazers which was not his usual repertoire. All he could do at the time was shrug his shoulders , just like nba fans around the country. Michael Jordan performed the famous shrug playing against Trail Blazers and shooting the game winning 3 pointer.

Three peat.

The golden standard for winning championships in today's NBA is to win not just one title, but three in a row. Jordan did that twice in his career, taking a break in between to give minor league baseball a shot.

Dunk champion.

Jordan won two NBA Slam Dunk titles. Those obviously aren't as significant as his MVPs and championships, but those events captured his enormous basketball legacy and how he could generate a buzz like no other, emulating Dr. J on his way to dunking from the free-throw line.

In conclusion all these reasons definitely proves Michael Jordan is the best basketball player. I am going to finish this speech with a quote from the man himself “I can accept failure everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”
