    Good lord! That was painful to read because of the grammar; however, his handwriting and signature were great.

    being in high school is no excuse for having grammar/spelling that poor.

    not to seem so picky about it but how you are able to put words together says quite a bit about you.

    Damn I can't write block letters as it is, much less cursive. In fact my cursive is so bad that my signature is basically my name cursive and people think I was being creative.

    Props to MJ. Good thing he didn't major in English.

    Well he was smart in one thing and that is investing in money which is way more important than some high school love letter that he wrote.

    Knew it, Jordan was a simp. :p


    The guy is a multi-millionaire. I'm sure he did fine for himself. Some people aren't good at some things, and apparently school wasn't it for MJ. Nothing wrong with that.

    Compared to current high schoolers, this is like reading Oscar Wilde.

    "average" second of all he owns a team. yeah, the average athlete probably doesn't have good educational skills, however i would save that for another thread. this dude's pretty successful in case you didn't know

    Correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't the guy suffer from some learning disabilities? I thought he had both ADD/ADHD and Dyslexia...

    ... Seriously I don't understand why a person would buy something like that. If Dream wrote a love letter to a girl in high school and it was on auction I wouldn't go above $5 for it. If it was game paraphernalia the sky is the limit, but a love letter? Why not buy the blanket he came home from the hospital in too?...

    "I was really happy when you gave me my honest coin money that I won off the bet"

    Jordan placing bets? Not buying if this letter is real. <-----insert smiley.

    I think his signature has something to do with it.

    And i was wondering about the learning disability....the majority of his mistakes came at the end of words, but i guess that could just mean he was in a rush or not paying attention?

    A search shows his name does come up a lot with ADD, but i didnt see anything official.

    Like I said, I could be wrong. I remember in middle school/elementary school seeing a poster that said something to the sentiment "Don't let a learning disability get you down, all these pro athletes have one:" and it listed MJ as ADD and dyslexic. The poster could have been wrong, my memory could be wrong (it would be roughly 18 years old by now)...

    I guess I could see the allure of the signature, but I still think it's really really strange...

    If you guys think this is bad, you obviously haven't seen the writing of the average high school and even some college students.
