Is Michael Jordan the best player? When Michael Jordan was about 14-16 years old, he started playing basketball. In his earlier years of basketball, contrary to popular belief, Michael Jordan did not make the basketball team on his first try. When he was a sophomore he was good enough to play on varsity basketball but his coach had put him on the junior varsity team.The reason Michael Jordan did not make the varsity basketball team was because he was on the shorter and skinnier side and got replaced by a taller kid.Michael Jordan grew up in wilmington north carolina.
