4.]Michael Jordan[This little post on my blog will come so very often, maybe even a few times a week. I draw inspiration from many people and a wide variety of people as well. I think the key to expanding your mind is to broaden your horizons, and without doing that I feel as if you're depriving yourself of a truly happy life.]
If you're familiar with basketball, or streetwear, or life.. you know Michael Jordan. One of the worlds greatest athletes ever, as well as a pioneering entrepreneur in the world of streetwear. He played close to 20 years, mostly with the Chicago Bulls. He was known for his high flying dunks and amazing clutch play, as well as winning six NBA Titles, 5 MVP Awards, 14 All Star apperances and 2 Slam Dunk Titles. Arguably the greatest player ever. He also caused controversy in 1985 when his first sneaker, the Air Jordan I's were released. They were originally banned by the NBA because it wasn't the team shoe, but the ban was lifted, and began the begining of a sneaker revolution. Today, the Jordan Brand is one of the most recognizable ones in the world of fashion. Alot of brands have tried to mirror the Jordan brand, but nothing comes close. On top of owning The Jordan Brand, he is now the majority owner of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats, being the first former player to have majority stake in a team. This is the same Michael Jordan who couldn't even make his schools varsity squad his junior year, the same guy the Rockets and Blazer's passed over, the guy they thought would be marginal at best. If his accolades off and on the court doesn't inspire you to put your all into everything, then i don't know what will. Michael Jordan is truly an inspiration to many.
