President Barack Obama has decided to honour 21 high-achieving Americans in the White House and none other than Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who deserved to get the Presidential Medal of Freedom...
It was befitting that Barack Obama bestowed the honour because he is the only President who embraced the sport of basketball...
Obama said "These are the folks who have helped make me who I am"..."there is a reason you call somebody 'The Michael Jordan of..." said Obama and went on to say "Because Michael Jordan is the Michael Jordan of greatness. He is the definition of somebody who is so good that they do that everybody recognises it. That's pretty rare."...
He spoke of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as "one of a kind" and one who "illuminates both our basic freedom and our highest aspirations".
