Michael Jordan - Is He A Hero?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page synopsis of the 1992 biography of Michael Jordan by Sam Smith. The writer demonstrates that while Smith's biography shows a negative side to Jordan's character not seen by his adoring public, debunking the Jordan mystique was not Smith's intention. Smith succeeds in presenting Jordan, not as a godlike superstar, but rather it offers a picture of Michael Jordan as an ordinary person-flawed, moody, gifted and human.

found handcuffed to a reform-school radiator,” a “square, two
-fisted hulk with a short man’s proclivity for uppercuts,” and
the “undefeated young barbarian.” In 1992, he was sentenced to

was released saying his life was changed but was imprisoned again
in 1999 after the assault of two men following a traffic
