Jordan was born in Brooklyn and spent his childhood in Wilmington, North Carolina. He entered Emsley A Laney High School, where his average grade was B+ and he was an amphibious sports star-football (quarterback), baseball and basketball. He majored in geography at the university. Jordan has two brothers, Larry and James R. One sister Dolores and the other sister Roslin. James R.Jordan is the military 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.
Edit this passage about the road to fame
Jordan attended Wilmington High School. Although he was bumpy and difficult at that time, he was suspended for many times in the first grade because the short man of 5 feet 1 1 inch was excluded from the next game by the basketball school team, but in the end he became the Jordan of baseball childhood.
Excellent students and stars of football 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 made the school team score an average of 25 points per game in the third and fourth grade seasons. In the fourth grade, Jordan was selected for the McDonald's National 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, who was selected for the national high school team, entered North Carolina, which he yearned for. 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. Let another great newcomer at the University of Georgia, Patrick Ewing the Gorilla, come back in vain as he did in the NBA many years later. 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. At that time, he was selected as the third in the draft by Chicago Bulls. As expected, the top pick of the Houston Rockets that year was hakeem olajuwon, the 7-foot center of the University of Houston. Surprisingly, the Portland Trailblazers chose Kentucky's 7-foot 1 center sam bowie. Bowie suffered several injuries in college, but the Blazers still didn't choose Jordan because they got another exciting shooting guard-glider clyde drexler a year ago. In the end, drexler became a star, and Bowie, a vulnerable guy, spent his career in mediocrity. After winning the Olympic Games in 1984, Jordan's rookie season was radiant and won the title of best rookie. That year, he averaged 28.2 points (second only to bernard king and Bird), 6.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists, and was selected for the second team. More importantly, the Bulls won 1 1 game more than the previous year and successfully advanced to the playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs, Jordan averaged 29.3 points per game. Unfortunately, the team lost to Milwaukee Bucks 3-/kloc-0 and was eliminated. "In the rookie season, his offensive range is not big enough, and his defense is still a bit loose." His first NBA coach Kevin Lori said. His middle distance-calculated by the basket, 8- 15 feet-is still a good shot (shooting percentage reaches 5 1. 5%), and his steals also cover up the shortcomings of his body posture when defending. These two improvements will eventually make him a threat to his opponent in any position on the court and make him the best one-on-one defender. "Even before his rookie season officially began, people were convinced that the Rockets and the Trailblazers would regret their choice." Bernard king, the former scoring champion, told Hoop magazine as early as the preseason-"I can only say", Kim said, "Chicago people are really rich." Facts have also proved that in the rookie season, Jordan conquered the public, 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 pay the price of losing the game. Jordan's performance off the court is as unique and charming as his performance on the basketball court. Because of the 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" and would be fined if he continued to wear it. He still wore it several times, and as a result, this shoe and other MJ series sneakers 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". He once stuck out his tongue when flying to the basket-just like his father did mechanical work, this action became 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, baggy pants have become a fashion, spreading throughout the league and even other sports. The rookie's magic was even applied to the referee, who said that he enjoyed a little preferential treatment 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 beat the defender so easily because he can walk. But according to the slow-motion analysis, the real reason is that he walked too fast in the first step and didn't violate any rules. Despite all the attention, Jordan has always remained humble. He never taunted the pioneers, nor did he choose him. Before the rookie season, he told Sports Illustrated: "He (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 one all-star game in my life." This goal was soon achieved, and he was soon voted as the starting shooting guard of the East Army in the All-Star Game. At the All-Star Game, he met the first obstacle in his career: his teammate, isiah thomas of Detroit Pistons. The media believe that Thomas deliberately froze the performance of the golden rookie in the All-Star Game by not passing the ball, so that Jordan, as the starting shooting guard, only scored 7 points in 22 minutes. He can only face this so-called conspiracy alone for the rest of the day. Speculation about this matter lasted for a long time, but Thomas himself denied it. Finally, when Thomas, then head coach of the Eastern All-Star Team in the 2003 All-Star Game, persuaded vincent carter to give up his starting position to Jordan, who participated in the last All-Star Game, the feud ended. After playing only three games in the second season, Jordan broke his left foot, but he didn't participate, even though he was elected as an all-star game. But he returned to the court at the end of the season and scored 63 points in the first round of the playoffs against Celtic. After two overtime hours, the Bulls finally lost to 13 1- 132 and left the playoffs with a sweeping fate. But in this series of competitions, Jordan scored an average score of 43.7, which silenced all those who once doubted Jordan's ability. Starting from the 86-87 season, his campaign to rewrite NBA records, which lasted his whole career, officially began. This year, he got 37 points. 1, and maintained a score of 30+ for the next seven years. Scored 40+ in nine consecutive games and 23 points in one game ... these are all NBA records. In the All-Star Game, he won the trophy of the slam dunk contest and successfully defended his title the following year. Unfortunately, the Celtics eliminated the bulls again and again in the first round of the playoffs. After the end of the season, the management of the bulls began to form a championship team. The team chose power forward Horace Grant. In the draft, daily center olden polynice bought all-around small forward scottie pippen from seattle supersonics. In the 87-88 season, Jordan won all the important awards you can think of, including most valuable player, best defensive player, all-star MVP and so on. With the help of powerful teammates, Jordan led the Bulls to beat Cleveland Cavaliers and successfully passed the first round of the playoffs, but the second round 1-4 lost to Detroit. The Pistons are known as the "bad boys' army", and their aggressive play made Jordan's bulls return to home in the Eastern Conference finals for two consecutive years. The Pistons coaching staff has created a defensive strategy called "Jordan Rule". Simply put, there will always be two or three people playing Jordan. Although the bulls have been unable to break through this difficulty, they are getting closer to the championship bit by bit! In the 88-89 season, Jordan had a bumper harvest, averaging 32.5 points per game. Career-high 8.0 assists per game ranked first in the league 10, and career-high 8.0 rebounds and 2.89 steals ranked third in the league. In the final game against the Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs, Jordan beat Craig Huang Yurong with a buzzer jumper, which made the Bulls beat their opponents by10/-100. This wonderful goal, known as "shooting" in history, will remain in people's hearts 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 head coach doug collins and invited Phil Jackson, the "Zen Master". Under the guidance of Jackson, the Bulls began to practice the "triangle attack", which created opportunities for five people on the court with a quick pass, but when the tactics failed and the attack time was short, Jordan had the right to fire at will. In the regular season that year, the Bulls scored 55-27, which is the best record of the Bulls since the 7 1-72 season. Jordan scored a career-high 69 points against the Cavaliers, and beat his opponent by117-113 in overtime. His three-pointers have also become weapons, and his hit rate of 37.6% is higher than before 10%. However, in the last game of the Eastern Conference finals, the Pistons struggled to break the dream of the bulls. 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 larry bird and Magic Johnson, two superstars in the 1980s. They think Jordan is just a pure scorer and can't make his teammates do better like larry bird and Magic Johnson. Big Bird and Magic helped the team become a top team as soon as they joined the team, but Jordan's Bull was still a middle-class team until the late 1980s. But 199 1 years later, the rise of the bull dynasty and the gradual maturity of Jordan made them shut up. 199 1 season, Jordan led the bulls to triumph all the way, losing only two games in the whole playoffs and reaching the top with absolute advantage for the first time. This includes sweeping the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals and beating the Lakers in straight sets to win the championship after losing a game at home in the finals. As Magic Johnson soon retired due to AIDS, this round of competition became the swan song of the Lakers' performance time. Jordan averaged 3 1.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game, winning the first of his six NBA Finals MVP trophies. 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 himself look more outstanding. He finally realized his dream of winning the championship. Although he is demanding and critical of his teammates, victory is the best lubricant. In the following two years, the Bulls defeated the clyde drexler Trailblazers and the charles barkley Suns in six games and won the championship. 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. But in the past three years, it seems that both players and teams admit that it is Jordan 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 kind of magic, just like the sports drink advertisement he endorsed, which reads "Be Like Mike" and makes those children follow in his footsteps crazily.
