All NBA legends are famous. None more so than the great Michael Jordan. One would expect that any regular person would recognize him immediately. Not Mr Goodwin. Mr Goodwin didn’t recognize him at all. In fact, Mr Goodwin of all things challenged him to a Basketball game.
Michael Jordan was 6,6. He was wearing a white top with green on the outline. He was the best player at basketball, everyone knew that, except for Mr Goodwin. The game started at 4:30 and hundreds of people came to watch. Mr Goodwin’s heart was pounding. He was watching Michael Jordan standing there. 3,2,1, GO! And then the buzzer went off and Mr Goodwin got the ball, aimed at the basket, and threw itl.
The ball went in the hoop and Mr Goodwin got three points. Michael Jordan got the ball but it got intercepted by Mr Goodwin and Mr Goodwin got another three points. Mr Goodwin kept on getting more and more points until the score was 78-0.
Michael Jordan was looking at the crowd, panting and sweating but he still didn’t give up. The timer kept on going down and Mr Goodwin kept getting points. After the timer hit 1 Minute, Mr Goodwin asked Michael Jordan “Do you want the ball, here you go”. Michael Jordan ran for the ball but Mr Goodwin moved out of the way and threw the ball in the hoop to make the score 156-0.
For the final 20 seconds Mr Goodwin dribbled the ball around and kept on stopping Michael Jordan from getting the ball. At the last second, Michael Jordan got the ball, threw it as hard as he could at Mr Goodwin's hoop and instead of getting the ball in the hoop made it bounce of the back of the basketball hoop and hit Michael Jordan, sending him flying back into the wall.
Michael Jordan didn’t move and Mr Goodwin slowly walked backwards to go outside. “Stop that man!”, Said a man in a uniform. Mr Goodwin then ran outside with some guards chasing him, hoping to escape and live to tell the tale…….
