Did you know Michael Jordan says there is one basketball player that's better than him? When Michael was growing up he said that he never felt like he could be the best player in the world, there was one player that always beat him one-on-one and you'll never believe who it is. Michael Jordan's father said Michael's older brother Larry had better skills and talent than Michael did, his older brother was so good that Jordan's father would spend all his time working with Larry and completely ignored Michael. When Michael was cut from his high school basketball team it was because of his older brother Larry who made the team because of his incredible 44-inch vertical. Jordan was jealous of the attention his brother Larry got from their father and he says that because of his brother, he has the competitive drive that made him a successful player. Michael was obsessed with being better than his brother and tried to copy all of his moves so he could become better than him. Lucky for Michael, Larry Jordan only grew up to be 5 feet 8 inches tall but he did make the NBA as an executive and is responsible for drafting NBA Star LaMelo Ball.
