Who knew Michael Jordan had poetic talent? I mean, we know he's one of the greatest NBA players ever, but can you imagine Jordan writing love letters in grade school?
Suggested Reading
According to ESPN's Darren Rovell, a letter Jordan wrote in grade school is up for auction at Goldin Auctions next week.
The poem reads:
Only You
by a young Michael Jordan
Only you can brighten my dayOnly you can show me the way.Only you can except my love.You and the great man above.Only you can kiss my cheek.When I with you I never fear defeat.I hope you grow very, very tall.Because right now you haven't grown at all.My face shows happiness and blue.Because I will love Only You.
Also up for auction is a love letter written by Charles Barkley:
Biscuits
I love you.
OK, I was just joking about the Barkley letter.
