NBA Best Rookie (1985)

The first player in history to win a triple-double in the All-Star Game < His father, James, was a mechanic and later served in the Air Force. His mother, Delores, worked in a bank in new york.

Many people believe that Jordan was born with a basketball in his hand. But in fact, Jordan almost didn't come to this world. Jordan's mother suddenly lost her mother when she was pregnant for 5 months. The doctor worried that Jordan's mother would have a miscarriage and let her stay in bed. Later delivery was very difficult. After Jordan struggled to get out of the womb, everyone was worried that he would not live for a few days, because his nose was always bleeding, and his family suspected that this was a precursor to some serious illness. This problem suddenly disappeared when he was 5 years old.

In his childhood, he also experienced two quite dangerous things. Once, he fell from his parents' bed behind the bed and almost choked to death. When he was two years old, he almost got electrocuted and died. One day, he picked up two wires near a car repaired by his father, and the current hit him more than two meters away. His father later said, "I really couldn't imagine how the little guy got two wires together."

Jordan was very naughty when he was a child. He liked to run around. At the age of 12, his father dug a drainage ditch in the open space behind the house, and the dirt dug up piled up a hill on the ground. Jordan and his brother Larry, who is one year older than him, decided to take a motorcycle at home (a fashionable thing at that time) to play with flying cars. The two brothers pushed the car 3 meters away from the mound, with Jordan driving and Larry sitting behind. They wanted to go over the mound and fly over the ditch at full power, and they wanted to stay in the air for a moment. As a result, both guys landed in a stinking puddle.

Jordan's father, James, is the son of a farmer. He can drive a tractor at the age of 1. In the eyes of this hardworking father, Jordan is simply a slacker. James said, "Of all my children, he is the laziest. If he works as a clock assembler in the factory, he will definitely starve to death.". He will take out the last dime in his pocket and let his brothers and sisters and even the children next door help him with his work. "

However, Jordan is excellent in other aspects. He has a good memory, and he remembers the racial equality text that his father taught him when he was young. Perhaps because their neighbor is a white teacher and the two families get along well, Jordan grew up in an environment without color prejudice. Jordan said, "This is the most important lesson I learned from my parents. I never pay attention to the color of a person's skin. I only care about you. I know the other person's black or white, but they are all human. " Growing up, he had good white friends.

Jordan said he used to be handsome. He is very cheerful, but he doesn't like to talk much. He has a pair of ears, and he has grown into a tall man in adolescence, so Jordan at the age of 16 or 17 did not attract girls' attention. He felt that he was probably doomed to live alone all his life. He was afraid that no one would marry him in the future, so he took home economics at school, studied cooking, sewing and cleaning. However, this kind of worry is unnecessary. Jordan married a beautiful wife, Junita, at the age of 26.

After attending the University of North Carolina, Jordan had a girlfriend, but unfortunately, his girlfriend was swept away by a flood and drowned. This incident had a great influence on Jordan, who was originally cheerful and depressed for some time. Since then, he has been infatuated with basketball.

In the summer of 1993, Jordan's father was murdered, which was a heavy blow to Jordan, because his father was Jordan's best friend. That year, Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to win their first three consecutive NBA championships, and Jordan's father went to the scene to watch his son win the last championship.

On October 6th of that year, Jordan, who was in grief, announced his retirement from basketball when he was at the peak. In order to forget the pain of his father's murder, Jordan turned to practice baseball. In those 18 months away from basketball, Jordan learned how to arrange his life outside the court.

Jordan thinks that if he hadn't met so many accidents, his situation might be different now.

Jordan's first love

1-year-old Jordan is in the fifth grade. Every morning, he gets up by himself without being called by his parents, and then rushes to catch the bus to school. As soon as he gets on the bus, he always takes a seat with his schoolbag, and no one is allowed to sit down. His clever eyes are rolling and looking for it.

It turns out that little Jordan has a crush on the 11-year-old girl Angela West. He holds a seat for her every day, eager to sit with her and say a word or two, but when Angela got on the bus, she would rather squeeze into a seat with two other girls than sit next to Jordan. Poor little Jordan stared out of the window, and he understood why Angela ignored herself because she liked to play with athletes. "Well, then, I must be an athlete." Little Jordan made up his mind.

........

Later, Jordan finally became a world-famous NBA star, but it's a pity that Angela has already married someone else. If she remembers the boy who saved her seat as a child, she will definitely regret it. This is not only because the little boy has become the dream prince charming of countless girls in the world, but also because this "prince" is a good husband who is very affectionate and considerate of his wife. "In my heart, the school bus still occupies a place. I have a seat for a girl, but she never wants to sit next to me." The past as a teenager will remain in Jordan's memory forever.

Every time after a game, Jordan immediately flies home. Although his wife has watched it on TV, he always takes pains to tell her about the situation of the stadium, then sends her a deep long kiss, and then he will play a "game" with his son. His eldest son, Jeffery, is almost 9 years old. Since he was 2 or 3 years old, his son has been "competing" with his father and has never stopped. Every time Jordan has to kneel on the ground, Jeffrey shoots from his head, and Jordan tries to block it. The two exchanged offense and defense from time to time. Sometimes Jordan was so tired that he lay on the floor and dozed off while playing. Jeffery kept screaming until Jordan woke up. He will often come to "check" to see if Dad is sleeping. The little guy plays like a model, because he often watches Jordan's game on TV. He often says to Jordan, "Look, Dad, that's how you make free throws." Then he spins the ball a few times, takes a deep breath, pats the ball again, spits out his tongue and sucks his lower lip, and then throws the ball into a special small basketball basket. As soon as he throws it, he will proudly hold his head high and say, "Look, that's the way to throw it."

Jordan's home is warm, harmonious and happy. Jordan is a good husband and father.

success story

Jordan is the fourth child in the family.

Perhaps because James used to be a basketball player, several of his children have the talent to play basketball. Under the guidance of his father James, Jordan embarked on the road of basketball. Jordan is 1.98 meters tall, but there is no second person in his family who is more than 1.85 meters tall. Unless he goes back two or three generations, Jordan's brother Larry has the same confidence and ability in basketball as him, but he is only 1.72 meters tall. Therefore, when he plays one-on-one with Jordan, Larry is never as lucky as Jordan.

in 1982, Jordan won the men's basketball championship for the first time in NCAA. On March 29 of that year, Jordan, who was only 19 years old, won the game with an outside long-range shot in the last 15 seconds, making the North Carolina team beat Georgetown University 63-62. The game made him famous. Years later, history reappeared: On June 14th, 1998, in the final game of the finals between the Bulls and Utah Jazz, Jordan tricked Russell of Utah with a fake action at the critical moment with 5.2 seconds left, and scored the winning goal. The Bulls narrowly beat Utah 86-85, and the Bulls won the NBA championship for the sixth time.

In 1984, 21-year-old Jordan was selected by usa basketball team, and was selected by Chicago Bulls in the first round of NBA draft. This year was Jordan's first big hit. In the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games basketball match, Jordan cooperated with his teammates to put the United States on the podium.

After the Olympic Games, Jordan officially joined the Chicago Bulls, an American professional basketball team, as a backup guard. Since then, the "Jordan era" of American NBA professional basketball league has begun.

1984 was not only a bumper year for Jordan's career, but also a year when he became attached to Nike. "Nike" took a fancy to Jordan because of his outstanding basketball skills and his excellent physical condition. Jordan is not a brawny athlete. His body is only 4% fat, while that of ordinary people is more than 15%, which makes his jumping ability and air suspension ability excellent. He can jump more than two meters in the high jump, 7.63 meters in the long jump, 1.22 meters in the vertical jump in situ, and stay in the air for more than two seconds. He can also complete various movements in the process of flying in the air, which is hard to prevent.

It is with these qualities that young Jordan attracted Nike. But Jordan didn't have "Nike" in his heart at first. Since high school, he has been a fan of "Adidas". So when Nike offered to meet him, he almost turned him down.

in the end, Jordan decided to keep the appointment. Almost all the top people in Nike met him, but it didn't attract Jordan's favor. Later, a "Nike" official named Robuste Rather caught his attention. He said that he would make his own style for Jordan, and that he would redefine the sports footwear industry. "Nike" proposed to sign a five-year contract with Jordan, with an annual amount of $25,, which is the royalty and bonus for the company to produce products with his advertising image on the production line of "Nike" basketball products.

The amount of this contract was considerable at that time, but Jordan still had a soft spot for Adidas, and went to Adidas to tell him the conditions offered by Nike and asked if he could provide similar conditions.

adidas is not responding. Jordan had to commit himself to Nike. Jordan started the 1984-1985 season in red and black Nike basketball shoes. Because the color of his shoes is not the same as that of the Bulls' clothing, the NBA ordered Jordan not to wear Nike shoes. But Jordan continued to wear it, so after every game, he was fined by the president of NBA, first $1,, then $3, and then $5,. Nike is calm and happy, because the NBA ban has an unusual effect, and it may cost them millions of dollars to achieve such an advertising effect.

The lens of Nike's first short advertisement starts with Jordan's head, then the camera slowly moves to his torso and finally to his feet. When the camera stopped on the new "Nike" shoes, what was shown on the screen was that a big fork was painted on the sneakers, and the voice-over came: "No!"

Since then, the sales of "Nike" shoes have soared.
