Little People, Big Dreams "Michael Jordan"One day Michael came home crying. His dream had been shattered, he hadn't been accepted onto his school's basketball team. He was too small, said the coach. "Go out and earn it," his mother told him. And he did. He was almost two meters tall and made the Chicago Bulls the most successful team in the American league. With the US team, he twice won gold at the Olympic Games. At the end of his career he was voted "Ball Player of the Century".
