At that time, Jordan and his childhood friend Harvester Smith participated in the selection of the high school basketball team. Smith was 2 meters tall and was selected because of his outstanding height, but Jordan was considered too short to play that kind. Level of competition, which made him work harder and vowed to get ahead.
A miracle happened. In the summer of the second year, Jordan suddenly grew to 1.9 meters, meeting the coach's requirements. In the last two seasons of high school, Jordan averaged more than 25 points per game and was directly selected for the 1981 McDonald's National Game lineup.
Many people believe that the most important reason why Jordan can grow taller is his genes. Otherwise, no matter how hard you work, you can’t grow so tall.
This theory actually has some truth. According to foreign media howtheyplay, Jordan has a cousin who is 2 meters tall and lived with him briefly in high school. This proves that there is a tall gene in the Jordan family. Michael is just Very lucky to inherit these genes.
Perhaps, the legendary life of the god of basketball is destined.
