As far as I know, Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team - doesn't scream innate athleticsm to me if he couldn't beat out his high school peers. Seems like he would have had to work hard to get a college scholarship, as opposed to luck...unless you're arguing that being cut from the team was lucky, because it made him work harder?

Then again, I guess you could say that he's lucky he was born with legs and arms...If Michael Jordan did not have arms and legs he would not have become the greatest basketball player of all time.
