As Jordan said, he loves the feeling of the game too much. It is not so much a game, but rather, he is just showing his love for basketball on the court.
This is an obsession to pursue perfection.
2. The legendary moment
March 19, 1994, this day is destined to make a sensation in the world, all of the United States sounded the red alarm, just to welcome Jordan's first comeback.
Things have to start from a few years ago. Jordan’s father was killed by street gangsters while driving out to visit friends. For Jordan, who had just won the first three consecutive championships in his career, his life fell into a trough again. Stuck in a difficult choice.
You must know that his father is the closest person to him during his lifetime, and he can achieve what he is today. Father is both a teacher of enlightenment and a firm supporter of himself. He used to be busy playing football, so there is less reunion with his relatives. I always take it for granted, and only know how to cherish it when I die. Although I feel regretful, I can't save it.
Therefore, Jordan wants to spend more time with his family, which is also a compensation to his relatives. During this period of time, he wants to have a good rest for his tired soul. How long is this period of time? clear. However, now is the peak of his career. Will he leave suddenly... This is a rare test in his life, and he should really think about it.
Soon, shocking news came from the basketball world. Jordan announced his retirement and began to devote himself to the baseball career he loved before his death. But the fact is that compared to his performance on the basketball court, his skills in the baseball field are mediocre. After experiencing the pain of breaking into a cocoon and becoming a butterfly, he felt that he should make a comeback.
It is self-evident that the NBA cannot be without Jordan. In the case of expectations, even pleading, Jordan chose to come back. His strong return caused a whirlwind in the sports world.
Z9z, because of the departure of Jordan, the global sales of the Nike brand decreased by 30% and a loss of 230 million U.S. dollars. However, with the comeback in 1994, Nike’s global profit surged by 2.4 billion U.S. dollars that year. It is more like a legend in the United States. The economy also recovered.
such a frenetic wave is enough to prove that he is an irreplaceable legend in basketball history.
3. The journey of loving basketball is extraordinary
every time in the NBA Finals, When the No. 23 jersey appears, it can always make millions of fans excited tears. However, people only saw his godlike existence, but few people knew his contribution to this cause.
Many years ago, Jordan desperately wanted to make a difference in his basketball career. He desperately practiced basic skills. He spent a year to improve his shooting percentage. He passed out in the arena regardless of day and night. There will always be rewards for paying, and his basketball shooting percentage has reached more than 50%.
In front of the camera, he stretched out his right hand. The index finger of this hand has been bent and deformed, symbolizing the countless sweat and tears he sprinkled on the court. It is his big hands that have brought NBA culture to the world. Every corner of society.
He is now the owner of a billion-dollar team, and he has achieved remarkable success both on and off the court.
However, the sunny road is sometimes windy and rainy. After retiring, Jordan once bought Bobcats at a high price. However, running the team was very different from playing games by himself. At that time, the Bobcats had a poor record. The annual loss reached 7 million U.S. dollars, up to 20 million U.S. dollars. In the face of successive years of losses, Jordan encountered a career trough.
He did not give up, instead, he became more and more courageous. He chose to face the difficulties, through a deep analysis of the team's problems, reorganized the management model, and strived to improve the team's strength. After hard work by ordinary people, the Hornets achieved an annual profit of 7 million US dollars a few years later. It can be said that Jordan once again challenged the impossible and reached another peak in his life.
4. 4000 missed balls
Jordan has a famous saying that in his career, 4000 balls have not been made and 300 games have been lost. There have been 26 times. People believe that I will throw a deadly goal. However, I missed it. In my life, I failed again and again, which taught me what to do.
once read a cartoon, and I feel that it is not meaningful. There are many people in the painting carrying long wooden boards. Halfway through, some people feel tired, so they cut off the board and set off on the road with ease. It can be exchanged for a moment of ease, but when it comes to crossing the river, other people use the long board as a bridge to cross the river smoothly, but the lazy person cannot cross the river.
Therefore, those who carry the weight will go further.
5. Enthusiastic about charity
Facing the mythical Jordan, the host Yang Lan asked him, what challenges do you think you have, and his answer made everyone unexpected. Jordan said, the challenge of being a father.
He said that what he loves most in his life is his children, perhaps because of a father. He wants more children to feel love. This kind of love has no borders. He wants to use his own personal actions to help There are children in need of help in the world, those who cannot go to school, are malnourished, and even those who do not have enough food and clothing.
In China, he has funded tens of thousands of children in ten provinces with his own brand. He feels that when he does these things, he is more like a father, doing his best to give back to the society and do something for the society. This is his own responsibility, the former player, the current father, he always bears the responsibility on his shoulders.
Successful people always run with tears. He will not indulge in temporary victories. If life is a journey without end, they choose to run on the road forever.
pursues their own ideals, takes their own industry to the extreme, and pursues the perfect self of and in infinite love.
No matter what you do, you should first do your part. This is easy to say, but there are certain difficulties in doing it.
Everyone's life should be heavy, as one sentence says, do something meaningful, at least worthy of the light and shadow, this is the real Jordan, a unique life.
