Michael Jackson was great at singing from the very start. Him and his brothers were in a band called the "Jackson Five". They had many famous songs, the most famous was probably ABC.. Michael took a lead part in that song, along with all the other songs. Out of all of his brothers he was the best singer. And by him being the best singer he was one of two who excelled to be a famous singer. Many think he was the greatest of all time.

Michael Jacksons dad was the one who pushed them the most. It has been reported that he would push them very hard, even sometimes resort to abusing them. In 1968, the Jackson Five hit big, they were signed to a label.

As Michael Jackson became older, his songs kept on getting more and more popular. He came out with many songs, some being Billie Jean, Dirty Dianna, Thriller, Black and White, and Beat it. These are not all of the songs he has made but some of them. He was awarded with a grammy for best rythm with the song Billie Jean. Awarded best pop vocal performance with his song Thriller and best Rock vocal performance with Beat it.

Michaels most known and famous song and music video is Thriller. He changed the way many music vidoes are made today. They all now mostly have a story line to them. Along with the acting

MICHAEL JORDAN SUCCES

This video was to show that Michael Jordan was not a perfect basketball player, he was extremely talented and good but he was not the perfect one. This video tells about how many times he has failed. And that you must fail first to suceed. Michael Jordan is a very well looked upon role model.

He has missed more than 9000 shots in his whole basketball career. This may seem like a very large number but you have to consider of how long he had played in the NBA. Not only that but no person in the entire league has ever made 100 percent of the shots they have taken. But he is saying that he practices a lot and fails and fails at things until he suceeds at them.

He then goes on to say that he has lost almost three hundred games. Although his team had the leading best record ever in the NBA and still holds it. Basketball is very much a team sport but many people saw Michael Jordan as somewhat a one man team, however he did have quite the assist count also. His teammates worded very well with him.

Twenty six times all of his coaches, teammates, and fans were having so much faith and trust in him to take the game winning shot, he took the shot and missed. Letting all of these people down. But compared to the number of shots he took and made to win games i wouldnt even compare. He failed 26 times and suceeded many more but he still had to fail.

This is video is very good. It is one about 30 seconds but it tell a lot. If you fail just keep trying until you suceed. Michael Jordan was cut in his sophmore year of high school. He went on to practice and practice until he made the team. Then little did his coach know he would end up to be the best basketballer player ever in the world.

IS BLOGGING JOURNALISM?

Blogging is very much the same as journalism! Blogging is just the online way of being a journalist instead of on paper. In the blog you do you the same things that you would do in a journal. You post your opinion on things and also things you like or have interest in. This is like saying that a sports journalist for a online newspaper can not be called a news writer.

Not everybody has this same opinion as me but i think that it is very clear and obvious. This is like saying that a red apple is green. Obviously the apple is red but someone just wants to say it is green to create a problem.

John Stockton 3 pointer

John Stockton played 20 games in the the 96-97 NBA playoffs. He did very good in this. He took the Jazz all the way to the finals to verse the greatest basketball player Micahael Jordan. John Stockton and Karl Malone had the famous passing scheme "Stockton to Malone"

John Stockton had very amazing and tricky passes. By many people, even the commentators he was known as the "mailman". He would alsways be passing and making shots that are really good/ delivering the mail! Not very many people were able to stop him.

He was also coached by one of the best basketball coaches of all time, Jerry Sloan. These two were just perfect for each other because they both had a competative and winning mentality, they were not afraid of any team. This really helped the Jazz. Although Jerry Sloan had been coaching for 22 years he retired on Feb. 10, 2011. His retirement was a extreme shocker, many people honored him but many are not happy with his decision.

John Stockton also had the great oppurtunities to play against many of the NBA best players of all times. Michael Jordan, Scotty Pippin, Brian Russel, Karl Malone, Dennis Rodman, and many others. This era of basketball players basically changed the NBA forever. Although many people do believe that only Michael Jordan had this impact, personally i think they all had a big part in it.

After this amazing game winning shot to go the NBA finals against the Chicago Bulls, it was very intense but Michael Jordans talent trumped the very good talent and team work of the Utah Jazz. Many people are still mad about the times that the Jazz lost to the Bulls, I think that Michael Jordan was an amazing player and I have no reason to be mad at him. John Stocktons number '12' was retired in the Delta Center, now known as The Energy Solutions Arena, but his number will not be warn again by any Future Jazz players.

UTAH JAZZ

The Utah Jazz basketball team is the best! They are coached by an amazing coach Jerry Sloan. They also have one of the best point gaurds in the NBA, Deron Williams aka..D-Will
