  • TV clip from a 1987 interview Michael Jordan had with 60 Minutes. Diane Sawyer interviewed Jordan. The interview was taped on January 18, 1987. In this clip, he talks about his life before he was an NBA basketball player, when he was in high school. Amazingly, at some point in high school he was actually cut from the high school varsity basketball team! I will try to upload more of the interview, but the vhs tape from which I obtained this footage was in pretty bad shape, so parts of the interview aren't easily viewed, but this part was in good shape.

    Now look at him. Those same people won't make fun of him now. 6x NBA champ, NBA Hall of Famer, father to 3 kids, married to a model, successful businessman, and has many more accomplishments. He inspires a lot of people around the globe, including myself to become the best version of themselves. Salute to the legend that is Michael "His Airness" Jordan !

      He was picked on at school, then would go home and whenever he'd play with his brother in sports, his brother would always get the best of him.
      I can imagine that combination created the foundation of his killer mentality.

      Everytime they talk about jordan getting cut from the varsity team. They never mention that he was a sophomore trying out for varsity but because of limited roster spots and him only being like 5”11 as well but he still made the jv team and still averaged over 22 points a game a couple of 40 plus games that year. Then shot up to 6’3 the next year as 11 grader and the rest is history but it sounds better to say he was just cut so people will think he didn’t play that year and had to come back the next year

How dare you disrespect that people HAVE a private persona, even celebrities and you can SEE it in the video how humble he is. Does he show up like mr. gottitall marketing team? How poor of a marketing effort that video would be? Jesh you cant even follow your own weird argument. Terrible publicity that video And how viral was the "origin story" it went super viral ey??? . So I guess that was "acting" he was acting in taht video for the purpose of misleading us. I bet someone as intelligent as MJ could come up with a better script but you dont see it for what this is 1987. The time of Bravo Magazine. We had to RECORD our music with a tape player and take songs from the radio bc nobody can afford a collection of 80 LP vinyl records and sorry no CD or MP3 tracks. But that is all stuff Millenials cant fathom there was a time before everyone was jaded, entitled and spoiled. Go listen to his speech for Kobe Bryant, you will see what a decent, solid, heartwarming brilliant PERSON he is, despite people like you. He gave one of the most reverberating speeches I have ever heard. To echo that from the core of his being, and you cant even pick up the resonate sound, just tell me how shallow of a person you are. There ARE originals in life and you cant even see it. Screw you and your trollish comments disrespecting people who gave all they had. No respect dude. You have NO respect man. efff that.

    Enough of the crap that Jordan "didn't make the basketball team" and he "got cut". That's a myth to make his legend larger. He just did not make the varsity team and played JV. As a sophomore. How about the kids who didn't make either and had no place to play at all? Gets me livid every time I hear the sob story of how he "did not make the team". He made the team, the JV team.

Of the majority of college players, they do not make it in the pro. So its pretty huge he didnt make the Varsity his sophomore year.
