I believe that many people, like Ye Yanjun, will think of Jordan at the first time when asked this question. God of basketball? The greatness of Jordan's career is immeasurable, and Jordan has left us countless classic moments. Among the many photos Jordan left us, what was that year? Century lore? Absolutely second to none, this photo is also regarded by many as the most representative moment in Jordan's career.
There is no doubt that the influence of Jordan's winner of the century is extremely great, but obviously this photo is not the most influential, because Jordan's teammate Rodman also left a classic moment before that, and this moment happened to be photographed by the photographer. Yes, this photo is Rodman's leap against the Warriors.
According to the photographer's memory, Rodman's photo occupied two pages in the famous magazine Sports Illustrated, which was incredible. The greatest significance of this photo is that it is unique. Only the designer caught it in a scratching way, which is almost a gift from heaven. In 20 12, this photo was also selected as one of the most beautiful 100 photos in sports history by Sports Illustrated, but most basketball fans will think it is the most beautiful one.
After this photo appeared, it appeared in almost all magazines and bulletin boards in Europe, as if Rodman had done an incredible thing. Jay Leno, the most famous talk show host in America, invited Rodman to his show because of this photo. It can be said that this photo even boosted Rodman's career. Before that, Rodman was a troublemaker. After that, Rodman became a tough guy who tried his best on the court!
Compared with Rodman, Jordan's career is great enough, so? Century lore? This is more like icing on the cake, Rodman's leap is more like a timely help. I want to ask, a photo can bring such a big change to a player's word of mouth, and even sublimate a player's career. Can you find a second one with such influence? Maybe, but it will be hard to find!
Of course, Rodman left us more classic photos than this one. As a player who is only about 2 meters tall but can win the rebounding championship for seven years in a row, Rodman's every struggle is almost full of beauty. Because he is not tall enough, he must judge more accurately and jump higher than others. Only compared with the leap, these photos are bleak.
