The person I would want to be is Michael Jordan. The reson why I would want to be this person is because he is the person who made me want to go into basketball. I also have another reson why I would be him is that he was one of the best basketball players in the world. He played on the chicago bulls and won with the bulls three championships and he also played on the washington wizards. Now he is retired and he is the owner of the bobcats. Oh yeah i almost forgot another reson why i would be this person is that he never gives up and that he playe one game with the flu and still played and didnt give up.
