NBA 1996 was elected as one of the "50 greatest players in NBA history".
In 2009, he was elected to the naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
In the eyes of most people, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. His magnificent legendary basketball career and great influence on the sport inevitably made people push him to the altar. The perfect combination of elegance, speed, strength, artistry, improvisation and unparalleled desire to win ... Jordan reinterpreted the meaning of "superstar"
Even the superstars of the period recognized Jordan's supremacy. Magic Johnson said, "Jordan is at the top, so we are." Jordan scored 63 points in a playoff game against Celtic in his second season. After the game, larry bird commented on him like this: "Today, God played Jordan."
A cursory look at Jordan's achievements: "Best rookie, five regular season MVPs, six finals rings, six finals MVPs, 10 first-team appearances, 14 all-star game MVPs, three all-star game MVPs, 50 NBA players in 50 years, 10 scoring champion (NBA record, and seven consecutive championships)
But his influence goes far beyond these honors and champions. When he first entered the league, he was a natural scorer with a sharp first step, gorgeous breakthrough and juggling, but when he left, he had become a cultural symbol. In his basketball career, he conquered the public with his dazzling performance and off-court personal demeanor, which accelerated the process of NBA globalization. He is a worthy king.
He is an approachable but mysterious person. "Air Jordan" is his trademark? His signature advertisements for basketball shoes are all over the place. Of course, he has also endorsed other products, starring in the movie "Dunk in the Air" and working with Michael Jackson on MV Jam. Before hanging up his boots at the end of the 2002-03 season, he retired twice and came back twice.
Jordan was born in Brooklyn and spent his childhood in Wilmington, North Carolina. He entered Emsley A Laney High School, where he was an amphibious sports star with an average score of B+ football (quarterback), baseball and basketball. In college, his major was geography.
Jordan has two brothers, Larry and James R. One is Dolores and the other is Roslin. James R.Jordan, commander of the 35th Signal Brigade of 18 Airborne Force. At the age of 47, he became famous because he insisted on staying in Iraq.
Jordan now lives in Highland Park, Illinois.
He joined the school team of Laney Middle School. The following year, Jordan, who was 5 feet 1 1 inch thin, was kicked out of the school team. By the third year of high school, his height had jumped to 6 feet 3 inches. From then on, he really embarked on the road of superstar.
Jordan attended Wilmington High School. Although it was difficult for him at that time, in the first grade.
He was suspended for many times because the short man of 5 feet 1 1 inch was excluded from the next game by the basketball team, but in the end he became an excellent student and star of the baseball team, basketball team and football team. In the summer between grade two and grade three, Jordan grew four inches, and he practiced his skills more intently. Finally, he asked the school team to play every game in the third and fourth grades. Jordan was selected to the McDonald's all-American team, becoming the only high school student in history who averaged 29.2 points 1 1.6 rebounds 10. 1 assists in triple doubles.
After graduating from high school, Jordan L, who was selected for the national high school team, entered North Carolina. As a newcomer, he somewhat lives in the shadow of old james worthy and sam perkins. But in the NCAA final against Georgetown University, Jordan shined brilliantly. He scored 16 points and nine rebounds, and hit the winning goal in the last 18 seconds, giving North Carolina a 63-62 victory. Patrick Ewing, another great freshman at the University of Georgia, came back in vain after many years, just like in the NBA.
The following year, he was named the best college player of the year by Sports News. In the third year, he was re-elected and won the naismith Prize and the Wood Prize. That year, he was selected by the Chicago Bulls in the draft.
That year, as expected, the top pick of the Houston Rockets was hakeem olajuwon, the 7-foot center of the University of Houston. Unexpectedly, the Blazers chose 7-foot 1 center sam bowie from Kentucky. He was injured many times during his college years, but the Blazers still didn't choose Jordan. Because they got another exciting shooting guard-glider clyde drexler the year before last. Finally, drexler became a star, and Bowie, an easily injured guy, spent his career in mediocrity.
After winning the Olympic Games in 1984, Jordan's rookie season was brilliant and won the title of best rookie. In that year, he averaged 28.2 points (second only to bernard king and Bird), 6.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists in the second team. More importantly, the Bulls won 1 1 game more than the previous year and successfully advanced to the playoffs.
"In the rookie season, his offensive range was not big enough and his defense was a bit loose." His first NBA coach Kevin Lori said. His mid-range shooting-8- 15 feet according to the basket-is quite good (shooting percentage reaches 5 1.5%), and steals also cover up his shortcomings in defensive posture.
"Even before his rookie season officially started, people were sure that the Rockets and Trailblazers would regret their choice," former scoring champion Kim told Hoop magazine as early as the preseason.
"I can only say," King said, "that Chicago people have really made a fortune."
Facts have proved that Jordan conquered the public in his rookie season, and the audience who came to Chicago Stadium to watch the ball increased geometrically. As long as you can see Jordan's wonderful performance, the fans of the other team are even willing to come back and lose the game.
Jordan's performance off the court is as unique and charming as his performance on the basketball court. Because of his bright future, Nike signed him as the main spokesperson of sneakers early, but the effect still far exceeded the expected plan. In the preseason of Jordan's rookie, he wore a pair of red and black bull boots that he had never seen before. At first, the NBA thought it violated the "Uniform Code". If he keeps wearing it, he will be fined. He still wore it several times. As a result, this shoe and other AJ series sneakers have caused an unprecedented upsurge in the market. Unlike most NBA players, his contract allows him to play at any time during the offseason-this clause is called the "basketball love clause"
When he flies to the basket, he always sticks out his tongue-just like his father does mechanical work, which has become one of his personal trademarks. He always wears his favorite North Carolina pants under the Bulls' pants, which makes him start wearing longer pants, or because longer pants can make him more comfortable to wear. Whatever the reason, in short, loose pants have become a fashion, and spread throughout the Federation and even other sports.
The rookie's magic was even applied to the referee. They said that he enjoyed a little privilege that only veterans who had worked hard for many years could enjoy, so that even if he took one more step, he would not be blown away. Many people say that he can get past the defenders so easily because he can walk. But according to the slow-motion analysis, the real reason is that his first step was too fast and he didn't violate any rules.
Despite all the attention, Jordan remained humble. He never taunted the pioneers, nor did he choose him. He told Sports Illustrated at the beginning of the season: "Bowie is more suitable for them than me. They already have enough big guards and small forwards. " His modesty is even more obvious in another sentence of the same article: "I hope I can play at least once in my life."
This goal was quickly achieved, and he was selected as the Eastern All-Star starter. There, he met the first obstacle of his career, his teammate, isiah thomas, who led the Pistons. The media believe that Thomas deliberately froze the performance of the golden rookie in the All-Star Game by not passing the ball.
Jordan scored seven points in 22 minutes. He had to face this so-called conspiracy alone for the rest of his life. The story circulated for a long time, but Thomas denied it. When Thomas, then head coach of the Eastern All-Star Team, persuaded vincent carter to give up his starting position to Jordan, who participated in the last All-Star Game in 2003, the incident finally ended.
After only three games in the second season, Jordan broke a bone in his left foot. Although he was selected for the All-Star Game, he couldn't take part. But he returned to the court at the end of the season and scored the highest playoff score of 63 points in the first round of the playoffs against Celtic. After two overtime, the bulls hated it by one point, 13 1- 132. In the end, he was kicked out of the house and missed the playoffs. However, in this series of competitions, Jordan averaged 43.7 points per game, which made all those who had doubted Jordan's ability speechless.
Since the 86-87 season, the movement of rewriting NBA records in his career has been officially launched. This year, he averaged 37. 1, maintained 30 points for seven consecutive years, 40 points for nine consecutive games, and even 23 points for one game ... these are all NBA records. In the all-star game, he took the trophy of the dunk contest (the next year, he took another one)
After the end of the season, the management of the Bulls began to form a team with championship strength, selected power forward Horace Grant, and offseason center olden polynice exchanged all-around small forward scottie pippen from seattle supersonics. In the 87-88 season, Jordan won all the important awards you can think of, MVP, best defensive player, all-star MVP ... everything. With the help of powerful teammates, Jordan led the Bulls to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers through the first round of the playoffs, but in the second round, he was defeated by 1-4, and Dieter led the Pistons.
Pistons are called "bad boy corps". Their aggressive play allowed Jordan and Bulls to return to home in the Eastern Conference finals twice in the next two years. The Pistons coaching staff has created a defensive strategy called "Jordan's Law". Simply put, there will always be two or three double teams besieging Jordan. Although the bulls have not been able to break through this difficulty, they are moving towards the championship bit by bit!
Jordan's data in the 88-89 season was bumper, averaging 32.5 points per game, 8.0 assists per game ranked 10th in the highest league in his career, and 8.0 rebounds and 2.89 steals ranked third in the league. In the fifth decisive battle against the Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs, Jordan made a long buzzer jumper over Craig Huang Yurong's head, which made the Bulls beat their opponents by10/-100. This wonderful goal, called "shooting", will remain in people's minds forever.
Before the start of the 89-90 season, Sports Illustrated published an article saying that Jordan was considering playing PGA Tour after retiring. Meanwhile, the management in Chicago is doing other things.
That summer, the Bulls fired their head coach doug collins and invited Phil Jackson, the "Zen Master". Under the guidance of Jackson, the Bulls began to practice "triangle attack"-a tactical system that created opportunities for five people on the court with fast pass and cut attack, but when the tactical attack failed for a short time, Jordan had the right to fire at will.
That year, the Bulls were 55 wins and 27 losses in the regular season, which was the best record since the 7 1-72 season. Jordan scored a career-high 69 points against the Cavaliers. After an overtime game, he beat his opponent with117-113. At the same time, his three-pointers began to become.
Losing to the Pistons for three years in a row made many people doubt that a scoring machine like Jordan could not win the championship. Many critics think that he is not as good as Bird and Magic Johnson, two superstars in the 1980s. They think Jordan is just a scorer and can't make his teammates do better, just like Bird and Magic. They pointed out that once Bird and Magic join the team, they can help the team become a top team. But Jordan's Bulls were still a medium-sized team in the mid-1980s, but the rise of the Bull Dynasty after 9 1 and Jordan's gradual maturity made them shut up.
199 1 season, Jordan led the bulls to triumph all the way, losing only two games in the playoffs and reaching the top with absolute advantage for the first time. This includes sweeping the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals and winning the Lakers in four games after losing one game at home in the finals. As Magic Johnson is about to retire, "Performance Time" comes to an end after this round. Jordan averaged 3 1.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game and won the first NBA Finals MVP among his six players.
At this time, Jordan has completely shaved his hair, which on the one hand leads the new trend of hairstyle, and on the other hand makes him look more outstanding. He finally realized his dream of winning the championship. Although he is critical of his teammates, victory is the best lubricant. In the next two years, the Bulls won the championship in six games with their grandson's solution.
In this late period of three consecutive championships, Jordan is no longer just a star, he has reached the realm of hero. In the early days of his career, he envied Peter Pan for jumping out of the gravity of the earth and staying young forever. However, in these three years, players and teams seem to admit that "it is he who can jump out of the gravity of the earth and stay young forever." He has countless fans, old and young, especially children. He seems to have a magic power, just like "Be Like Mike" written in his sports drink advertisement, which makes those children follow in his footsteps crazily.
Jordan is one of the most valuable sports idols in history. Is the main spokesperson of Nike, Gatorade, hannis, McDonald's and MCI. 1988, he first appeared in the advertisement of Wheaties box, and immediately became their spokesperson.
Nike made signature shoes for Jordan, called "Air Jordan Series". The pursuit of this series of sneakers even led to an event called "grabbing the upper". Young teenagers were held at gunpoint and handed over their sneakers to robbers. Designer Tinker hatfield pushed the basketball shoe industry to a new height. Later, Nike separated this production line from its own manufacturers. Especially called "Jordan". The players signed by this company are called "flying men", including ray allen, michael finley, Derek Anderson, eddie jones, mike bibby and gary payton. Jason kidd, Quentin Richardson, richard hamilton and carmelo anthony are all members. Not only basketball, but also Jordan's tentacles extend to other sports fields, such as baseball and football. Of course, college basketball is also a big market. He sponsored famous basketball schools such as North Carolina and Cincinnati.
Jordan also has some connections with cartoon characters. In Nike 1993, he fought against Martians with bugs bunny, and finally created the action+animation film "Space Jam" in 1996. This film tells an unreal story when Jordan retired for the first time. Later, they cooperated several times in some advertisements of MCI.
1999, during his second retirement, he and Wayne Gretzky Jon hervey founded MVP.com sportswear company. Unfortunately, it coincided with the outbreak of the Internet bubble, and the domain name was finally sold to CBS at 200 1.
For many years, he has been a fan of Nestle chocolate biscuits and tried his best to advertise them.
1992 finals, Jordan scored a record 35 points in the first half of the game, and finally let the Bulls beat their opponents with 122-89. He can't stop it. He scored seven three-pointers on the Blazers' defenders, and after one of them scored, he even shrugged his shoulders as if to say, "I don't know what happened." At the end of the sixth quarter, the blazers scored 79 points.
1993, Jordan's Bulls stepped on Ewing's Knicks for the fourth time in six games-this time, the Bulls had no home advantage in the Eastern Conference finals. Jordan scored 54 points in the fourth game, and the Bulls 105-95 won. The turning point of this round was in the fifth game, when Jordan scored a triple double (29 points, 10 board, 14). However, the most important scene was Pippen's continuous downfall of the Knicks' charles smith in the last few seconds, which dashed the Knicks' hopes of equalizing and let the Bulls leave the Garden Square 97-94. The Bulls ended the Knicks' journey 96-88 in Game 6.
In the finals with the Suns, Jordan set a new finals record. He averaged 465,438+0.0 in six games. In the sixth game, the bulls reversed again in the fourth quarter. This time, Jordan scored nine points in a row. Finally, john paxson scored a fatal three-pointer in 3.9 seconds, allowing the Bulls to beat their opponents 98-97.
This summer, Jordan participated in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games as the main force of the dream team. 12 players are the best players of that era. On the way to winning the championship, they conquered all their opponents with their own skills and became idols of fans all over the world.
As a member of the American team, Jordan won two gold medals in the Olympic Games. Once as a college student player in the summer of 1983, and once as a member of the original "dream team" with Bird and Magic Johnson. Rumor has it that Jordan failed to select Isaiah Thomas for the dream team because of personal grievances. In any case, Starlight Glimmer, the dream team, easily won the championship all the way, which made the United States once again climb to the top of the world basketball.
But trouble followed. Jordan was censored for his gambling behavior, but more seriously, his father was murdered. His father is Jordan's spiritual pillar, and he supports Jordan step by step to the ladder of success.
1On July 23rd, 993, two months after the Bulls won three consecutive championships, Jordan's father, James Jordan, attended a friend's funeral and parked his car in an open space near Lamberton, North Carolina on Interstate 95. I took a nap. Two local criminals, daniel green and Larry Martin Demmerie, killed him and stole the Lexus that Jordan gave his father. The two criminals also made several phone calls on James' mobile phone and were soon arrested. On August 3rd, James's body was found in a swamp. It was not officially confirmed until the 5 th. Because of the huge mental shock and looking for new challenges, just the day before the training camp, Jordan shocked the whole basketball world and announced his retirement. Two days later, he announced his retirement. His No.23 jersey has also retired from the Bulls.
After thinking for a long time, Jordan returned to the spotlight in a baseball uniform. In order to realize his father's wish, Jordan entered Major League Baseball. 1994, he played for Birmingham Baron, a young player of Chicago White Sox, who played in AA Southern League.
He is qualified to play an unknown small role, but his desire to enter the major leagues seems slim. 1995 season approaches, labor disputes broke out in Major League Baseball, and Jordan ignited the flame of returning to the NBA. 1994-95 NBA season is not over soon, Jordan made a comeback with a simple "I'm back".
He came back, wearing the No.45 jersey, hoping to bring another championship title to the Bulls. 17 won 13 games in the regular season, averaging 26.9 points per game. Jordan handed in such a report card.
The biggest impact was his sixth game against the Knicks in new york Square Garden after his comeback. This competition, called "two 5 (double nickel)", officially announced the birth of a brand-new Jordan to the world. At the age of 32, he didn't have the shocking bounce when he was young, and began to use back jump and turn to lay up more. At the last minute, the two sides tied. I saw that he attracted the opponent's attention with the ball and passed it to Bill Winnington at the basket, and finally won with113-111.
His coach phil jackson said after the game: "Few players can do well in new york. I've seen many players play badly because of the pressure here. But Jordan was firmly in control all night. Sometimes the situation seems to have fallen into his hands.
In the playoffs, it averaged 365,438+0.5 points, but although Jordan stood on the court, the Bulls were still not enough to cross the Orlando Magic. In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Chicago Bulls lost to the Magic led by shaquille o'neal in six games.
The following year, Jordan led his teammates who were almost completely different from the first time to win the championship again. He put on the No.23 jersey again, but only his old buddy Pippen was a member of the team that won the championship three times in a row. The Bulls joined dennis rodman, an eccentric but top rebounder and defender.
This team spent a season with excellent results and achieved good results that no team in history could achieve. Jordan ranked first in the scoring list with 30.4 points, and the Bulls set a record of 72 wins 10 losses in the regular season. In the playoffs, he also won the championship with a total record of 15-3, and defeated the Sonics in six finals.
Sadly, Jordan won the championship again on Father's Day. After the game, he sat in the United Center with his basketball in his arms (when he retired, the home of the Bulls was changed from Chicago Stadium to the United Center), and he burst into tears. At that moment, the sad emotional contagion killed everyone.
In this year's journey, Jordan won three MVPs in the regular season, the All-Star Game and the finals (Jordan played another round in 1998), and only willis reed played in 1970 before (note: O 'Neill also did it once in 2000).
Although karl malone won the MVP of the regular season in 1996-97 season (Jordan regained this honor in 1997-98 season) and once again led the Bulls to beat Malone's Utah Jazz to the top in six games, he did not let his team lose easily, although he suffered from severe stomach chills and was dehydrated in the crucial fifth game. In that game, he scored 38 points to help the bulls win, and finally won the sixth game at home.
The Bulls won three consecutive championships. In the 1997-98 season, they beat the jazz in six games again. Jordan and his team were still three points behind at the last moment of the sixth inning. After the breakthrough, they got two valuable points. He grabbed the basketball from Malone in the backcourt and rushed to the basket with 6.6 seconds left to score the winning goal. The wonderful scene of this goal flying over Brian Russell is engraved in the memory of countless fans, and this photo will go down in history forever.
1999, because of labor disputes, there was only one shrinking season left, and Jordan left the stadium again. He said, "Now I don't have the motivation to continue to be a basketball player as before." Although Jordan didn't play for three seasons after his second retirement, he may still be the most well-known athlete in the world.
However, after serving as the shareholder and team operation manager of the Washington Wizards in 2000, he returned to his favorite sport again because of his dissatisfaction with the team's performance. On September 25th, 20001year, he signed a contract with Wizards for two years with the basic salary of veteran.
Jordan brought his old coach doug collins to the Bulls, hoping to pull this team out of the swamp of rotten teams. Unfortunately, although the Wizards qualified for the playoff tickets, they failed to enter the playoff for two years. However, Jordan still left many great moments, and his score was 40 points higher than when he just turned 40 in 2002-03.
200 1, Jordan, then president of the wizards, walked out of the office and returned to the basketball court. Due to his age, his skills are not as good as before. Despite the pain, he scored 23 points in almost every game. With injuries (especially knee injuries), he is still an important member of the team.
In the 2002-03 season, Jordan wore specially designed sneakers to relieve the pressure on his knees and returned to the court healthily. This time, he scored 20 points per game. That year, he played the last all-star game. After the season, he bid farewell to the fans for the third time.
At the beginning of 0 1-02 season, Jordan donated 1 ten thousand dollars to help the victims of the 9 1 1 incident.
Out of respect for Jordan, even though he never played for a team in Florida, the Miami Heat retired his No.23 jersey at the price of 1 1 in April 2003. This is the first time in the history of Miami Heat 15. Half of this jersey is Wizarding Blue and the other half is Bull Red.
The battle of Philadelphia was the last battle of Jordan's career. On April 6, 2003, Jordan scored 15 points in a limited playing time, but failed to help the Wizards finally win. At last 1.44 seconds, Jordan made his last two free throws, and the audience applauded warmly for three minutes. Unfortunately, the Wizards didn't make the playoffs.
In the 2004-05 season, DeUEX, a wizard without Jordan, entered the playoffs, destroying the bulls in the first round and being kicked out of the game by the Heat in the second round.
He left the stadium as a player and returned to the management. He looked at these young superstars and was sure that the NBA was working well. In his book For the Love of the Game: My Story, he wrote: "There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player in this world. I never believed that there was a greatest player. Everyone is in a different era, and I have contributed my talents on the shoulders of my predecessors. I believe that "greatness" is an evolving process. Without Julius, david thompson, walter davis and elgin baylor, there would be no Michael Jordan. I learn from them.
Jordan likes to prove his opponent wrong. In a symmetrical Utah jazz game, Jordan poured a basket on the head of guard John stockton, and a jazz fan shouted, "Dare to pour a big one!" In the next round, Jordan poured one on the 6-foot 1 1 inch, 285-pound center Melvin Tourre flat head, and then asked the fans, "Is this big enough?"
