Michael Jordan: The early years.

Michael Jordan: The early years.

     Michael Jordan was one of five children born to James and Delores Jordan.
He was born February 17, 1963 in Brooklyn.  The Jordans' felt that the streets
of Brooklyn were unsafe to raise a young family of five children.  Instead of
trying to endure the streets of Brooklyn, the Jordan family moved to Wilmington,
North Carolina.  James got a job in Wilmington as a mechanic and Delores got a
job as a teller at United Carolina Bank.  The Jordan's always stressed the value

very hard in an attempt to get a good education, while competing in sports.
Mike wasn't expected to be a star of the Tar Heels, since they had players such
as James Worthy, Sam Perkins, and Al Wood.  By the end of the 1981-82 season,
Jordan, as a freshman, was an everyday starter. Carolina reached the Final Four
with the help of Jordan, who had sixteen points and led the team with nine
rebounds.  In the final twenty seconds, Michael made a title winning shot from
