Biography and success story of Michael Jordan
Michael Jeffrey Jordan is a famous American basketball player who played in the NBA as an attacking guard. Jordan's example captivated many, and basketball gained even more popularity. Michael Jordan was nicknamed Air Jordan for his phenomenal jumping ability
Michael Jordan's biography
Michael Jordan is rightfully considered the brightest basketball star of the first magnitude, who proved in practice that he is able to win what he wants, when he wants and how much he wants.
It was impossible not to admire Michael's acting. It combined in reasonable proportions the highest performing skills, incredible physical talent and unique playing discipline. Great at playing basketball, he traded at the same time. And very successfully.
The game of basketball is, after all, a commodity, and Michael has sold it to millions of people who never knew about the existence of this exciting sport.
He also sold it to millions of people who were familiar with basketball but had no idea that it could be played the way Michael did.
Childhood and youth of Michael Jordan
Michael Jeffrey Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn (New York), in the family of James Jordan and Deloris Peoples, who already had three children at that time. In 1970, the Jordans moved to another city. In Wilmington, North Carolina, Michael's parents received a promotion at work. When his brothers and sisters worked part-time after school and helped their parents with the housework, Michael was so lazy that he did not want to work and dodged household chores. In high school, he did not try hard, had problems with discipline.
As a child, Michael's favorite sport was baseball. He played quite well and at the age of 12 with his team reached the finals of the minor league championship, and later became the state champion and was recognized as the best player in the championship, receiving the title of the most valuable player (MVP - Most Valuable Professionals).
Later, Michael became seriously interested in basketball, the most popular game among the local black youth, and his father built a basketball court for him in the backyard of the house so that he could play with his older brother Larry. Although Jordan was not tall and powerfully built, he practiced the jump to make up for his lack of height.
In ninth grade, Jordan was already a pretty good basketball player. Although he still lacked height (by the summer of 1978 he was 175 cm), Michael was distinguished by high speed and diligence. He tried to get into the high school basketball team, but the coach, praising Jordan's playing qualities, still preferred to form a team of older and stronger guys. Missing the team very upset Michael.
To show his coach that he was wrong, he went all out in his junior high team matches, showing a high level of play and averaging 28 points per game. During the following summer, he trained hard and grew by 10 cm. In the tenth grade, Michael also played for the school team in American football, participated in track and field competitions, and also played baseball.
In the 11th grade, Michael, who grew up to 186 cm, was finally accepted into the school basketball team, where his brother Larry played under number 45. Michael took number 23 for himself, explaining his choice by the desire to be at least half as good an athlete as his brother. Under this number, he played for almost his entire career.
Michael constantly worked on himself, trained every morning before school and in the summer of 1980 visited the training camp at the University of North Carolina, where he made a lasting impression on the coaching staff. An offer to study immediately followed, which Michael's parents liked, and he wrote a letter of intent to enter this particular University.
Michael Jordan's college years
Before Jordan entered the University of North Carolina in 1981, he was already an indispensable part of the basketball team, although at first he was nervous in a new environment for himself, where his partners were players of a much higher level than school.
Michael showed himself to be a versatile and versatile defender, he had no equal in ball possession skills.
In daily practice, head coach Dean Smith was more demanding of Jordan than the rest of the players. He understood that Michael, with his great potential, was extremely ambitious. Therefore, if you set the bar higher for him, he, according to all the laws of logic, will try his best.
Coach Roy Williams also made Jordan work his ass off. “What are you dissatisfied with? I work like everyone else,” Michael wondered. “But Michael, you said yourself that you want to be the best of the best,” Williams replied. “And if so, then you should work more than anyone else.” There was a pause as Jordan thought. Finally he said, “I understand, Coach. See, I will work like a horse.”
In three seasons at the University of North Carolina, Jordan averaged 17.7 points per game on 54.0% shooting. His team won the NCAA (National College Athletic Association) First Division Championship at 1982.
In the final match against Georgetown University, Jordan threw the decisive ball. In 1983 and 1984 he was the NCAA Player of the Year. And in the same 1984, he was selected by the Chicago Bulls club in the first round of the draft (the annual procedure for selecting by the NBA clubs (National Basketball Association - National Basketball Association - professional basketball league of North America) new basketball players who want to join the league) under the number 3.
The beginning of Michael Jordan's professional career in the NBA
In 1985, Jordan became the best rookie of the season, although the first year at the club was in many ways an ordeal for him. And it's not that, compared with his student years, the number of matches in the season has increased four times, Michael loved basketball, and his supply of strength seemed not to run out.
It was difficult to dive into a new atmosphere - or rather, to get used to a weak training program after a strong program developed and established in Carolina.
Everything at Chapel Hill was first class. A carefully thought-out program, a brilliantly organized training process, an excellent coaching staff. The assistant coaches who worked there were considered the best specialists, better than many head coaches of other student teams. Yes, and very good basketball players played there, infinitely devoted to the sport.
Chicago is another matter. Kevin Lafery himself turned out to be a good, knowledgeable coach, but his entire staff was no match for Dean Smith's staff. The equipment was terrible. But most of all Michael was disappointed by the players. They were of very average ability.
Some of them had problems with drugs, which, of course, affected their athletic form, and the worst thing was that they did not burn with the desire to win and did not see any goal ahead of them. One day in his freshman year with the Bulls, Jordan was visiting for an away game and learned that a party was being held in a player's suite. Looking in, he saw several of his teammates.
Someone smoked marijuana, someone preferred cocaine. Michael flew out of there like a bullet. Yes, it was impossible to even imagine such a thing in Carolina.
Jordan's first year in the NBA was marked by two prophecies concerning his future. Larry Bird did one thing when his formidable team, the Boston Celtics, came to Chicago to play the Bulls. As Dan Shaughnessy, a reporter who was then assigned to the Bostonians, recalled, none of the journalists was even interested in the opinion of a great player about a new kid who appeared in the camp of rivals. Larry himself wished to speak.
He expressed himself in a calm tone, but there was clear admiration in his words. “I’ve never seen,” Bird said, “one player can transform a team like that. I didn’t know how to play like that in my first year in the NBA. Here is at least one episode of today's match. Michael holds the ball in his right hand, then bangs it on the floor and picks it up again. I rush at him, try to take the ball away, I even break the rules, but he still manages to score.
And he did all this in a jump, while in the air. Very soon, people will go to the stadium specifically “for Jordan”.
The author of the second prophecy is the incomparable Jerry West, a player so famous that his silhouette was used for the NBA logo. By that time, he was no longer playing, becoming the general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers. It was believed in the league that no one could appreciate the talent of a young player better than West. He saw Jordan play at the very beginning of his first season. Turning to Josh Rosenfeld, Jerry said, "For the first time in my life I see a guy who reminds me of me when I was younger."
In general, the first season was more than successful for Michael. Although Jordan played in an environment of unusually weak partners for him, he nevertheless helped the Bulls improve their performance: they won 10 games more than in the previous season.
1985-1986 season
Most of the second season, Jordan missed due to a leg injury (in his entire sports career it was the only serious injury), he broke his left foot.
Only the second season in the NBA, and he is already excommunicated from his favorite game and lies in a small apartment in a city that is still alien to him. Winter in Chicago without basketball - it was unbearable. Michael asked the club management to let him go to Chapel Hill for a while: maybe he will recover faster there? He had housing there, and most importantly, a bunch of friends, including all the coaches at the University of North Carolina. They went towards him.
In Chapel Hill, Jordan remained true to himself. Of course, he could not run and jump, but every day he practiced throws for hours. Soon, without informing the Chicago bosses, he began participating in five-on-five practice games. He played, of course, not at full strength and for the first time in his life he realized how much sport meant to him.
Michael recovered for the playoffs and had a great knockout game. In his second game against the 1985-86 Boston Celtics, often considered one of the greatest in NBA history, Jordan set a hitherto unbroken record for most points in a playoff game, 63.
Despite Michael's great performance, the Celtics won the series. Years later, he was once asked about the Boston games and those 63 points, hoping that he would tell something nostalgic. But Michael quickly changed the subject. “Those matches are not my favorite matches,” he said. “We lost, and there is no getting away from this fact.”
1986-1987 season
Doug Collins, 35, is one of the youngest head coaches in NBA history to replace the former Bulls coach. Acquainted with Jordan on June 1986, he immediately spoke about his previous injury and warned Michael that there could be problems with the blood supply in his foot. Therefore, he advised Jordan not to exhaust himself in training. Having said that he had a similar injury, Collins frankly admitted to Michael that he would not want his ward to repeat his path, having gone through hellish torment. Jordan looked at Collins coldly and replied in an equally cold tone: “Your leg is one thing, mine is another.”
In the 1986-87 season, Michael wins the dunk contest.
Gaining 3041 points for the season (the third result in NBA history) - an average of 37.1 per game. In addition, Jordan showed off his defensive skills by becoming the first player in NBA history to record 200 steals and 100 blocks in a season. The Bulls won 40 wins and made the playoffs for the third year in a row. However, they again lost to Boston in the first round.
1987-1988 season
1987-1988 season can be called the era of team restructuring. Finally, a well-chosen team has formed. Bulls managers and coaches got rid of the ballast. In the draft, the team got two great players Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant.
Striker Charles Oakley's talent blossomed before our eyes. John Paxon grew into a talented partner for Jordan, who knew how, if Michael was well covered, to make an accurate decisive throw at the most crucial moment of the match. But many problems remained to be solved. The very participation of Jordan in training greatly facilitated the tasks of Collins.
Michael set a great example for everyone, and, by the way, his demanding exclamations were heard on the court more often than the shouts of the coach.
Collins only rejoiced at this: he understood that, being an emotional person, he could "drive" the players and thereby lose his authority, and the guys would simply become disillusioned with basketball and wither. And here he has such an assistant - the best player in the club, whom the players trust as a friend.
This season, Jordan once again topped the league's all-time leading scorers list, averaging 35.0 points per game on 53.5% shooting and claiming his first regular season MVP title. He was also named Defensive Player of the Year, averaging 1.6 blocks and 3.16 steals per game. The Bulls finished the regular season with a 50-32 win record and made it past the first round of the playoffs for the first time, defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games. In the next round, the Bulls lost in five games to the more experienced Detroit Pistons.
Season 1988-1989
In the 1988-89 season, Jordan again led the League in points per game - 32.5 with 53.8% of sales, adding to his statistics 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game. Chicago finished the season 47-35 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals where they again faced Detroit, who defeated Chicago, this time in six games.
The Detroiters at the time were a very uncomfortable team for the Bulls, who were then just finding a mature game. The young players of the Chicagoans were certainly talented, but in order to become champions, they still lacked the mental stability and physical endurance.
For a growing team, Detroit was certainly a formidable opponent. He could always find the enemy's vulnerabilities and skillfully take advantage of this. The irrepressible sports passion of Michael Jordan even played into the hands of the Detroiters. Chuck Daly created the defensive system, calling it "a surprise for Jordan." She forced Michael to play to the limit of his physical abilities, and he, being a born fighter, easily bought into this bait.
And, no matter how hard he tried, his incredible efforts were not enough to win a little over the Pistons.
Season 1989-1990
Deep down, Jordan felt that basketball had changed. With the advent of a new generation of players, guys who are talented, tall and fast, the traditional system of a strict set on the game is outdated. Everything was decided by the individual skill of the players, who knew how to accurately throw the ring in any situation and from any position. And in the NBA, no one in the individual skill could not be compared with Jordan.
Therefore, Michael opposed the intentions of the new coach Phil Jackson to revive the "triple post" system. Former coach Collins at one time tried to take tentative steps in the same direction. Michael was not enthusiastic then. Now his protest was more categorical. He feared that the new tactics would limit his freedom of action and bring nothing good in return.
Jackson tried to explain his plan to him allegorically: the ball, they say, resembles a running spot of light from a searchlight beam, and a searchlight cannot be controlled by one person.
Secretly, Jackson hoped for Jordan's incredible athletic ambition. He knew that Michael's greatest desire was not for personal achievement, but for the Bulls to become NBA champions.
Speaking with Jordan, the coach always emphasized: yes, the team reached the playoff series thanks to Michael's brilliant game. But this is where its potential is exhausted. In the next stages of this series, Jordan will face giant defenders who will neutralize even him - a great player, and all the efforts of the team will be in vain. Jackson even told Michael that if he did not once again become the best scorer in the NBA (and he became the last two seasons), this is not such a big loss.
With the new tactics, Michael almost did not make his former dashing raids to the opponent's basket, and when playing a pass, his partners often let him down. He will make a verified pass to his friend, and he loses the ball. Sometimes Jordan would get impatient and, like before, take over the game. In one of those games against Cleveland, Jordan scored a career-high 69 points per game.![]()
But despite the confrontation with Phil Jackson, Jordan began to get used to the collective game, and the more he shared the ball with his partners, the better they interacted with him. The team has changed. Chicago finished with a 55-27 win record. In the playoff series, the Bulls defeated Milwaukee 3-1 in the first round, and defeated Philadelphia 4-1 in the second round. And again reached the Eastern Conference Finals, but again lost to Detroit for the third season in a row.
Season 1990-1991
In 1990-91, Jordan won his second regular season MVP title, averaging 31.5 points per game on 53.9% shooting, 6.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists. The Bulls finished the season in first place in their division for the first time in 16 years, setting a club record with 61 regular season wins. In the playoffs, Chicago knocked out the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76 in turn and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they were again opposed by the Detroit Pistons.
Michael Jordan began to seriously prepare for the future battles for the title even earlier. After losing to the Pistons in 1990, speaking to reporters, he told them that the Detroiters' tough playing style completely exhausted him and he was going to add to his athleticism. Not only by building muscle, Michael strengthened vulnerable parts of the body, well known to every basketball player: ankles, wrists, shoulders, knees, hips. He began to look more massive. Broad shoulders, powerful biceps.
Meeting old rivals on the court, who previously were not averse to inflicting a cruel blow on the sly, Jordan was no longer afraid of them, but they were afraid of him. Such a redistribution of roles has taken place.
From the very first minutes of the first match, the Chicagoans imposed a tough game on the Detroiters. Jordan moved his elbow to the chest of Joe Dumars, as if congratulating him on entering the court in such a responsible meeting. Michael mercilessly watered Rodman.
The coaches decided that in this way he was trying to cheer up his partners, inspire them with confidence in their abilities. At one point in the match, Jordan, who was guarded by John Salley, froze for a second with the ball in his hands, wondering how to start his crown raid to the rivals' ring.
Sally, nicknamed "Spider", shouted to him: "Your number will not work - you will get tangled in my web!" Throwing himself forward, Michael turned sharply at the last second and moved in the opposite direction, after which he drove the ball into the basket. "Well, son of a bitch, blocked the ring?" he asked Sally sarcastically, and he realized that the former magic of Detroit had sunk into the past. The Bulls defeated the Detroit Pistons in four games and advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in their history, where they defeated the more established team, the Los Angeles Lakers, who won the Western Conference Finals, 4-1. After the fifth match, realizing that after seven years in the NBA he had finally become a champion, Michael broke down and burst into tears.
Season 1991-1992 90,013 90,002 Jordan and the Bulls dominated the 1991-92 season, setting a 67-15 win record, bettering the 1990-91 season. Jordan won his third MVP title in a row and made it to the final with his team.
The Bulls faced the Portland Trail Blazers in the Finals. Very gifted players were selected in this team, who preferred not to weave the lace of combinations, but to play attacking open basketball. The series of meetings between Portland and Chicago was of particular interest because an exciting duel was expected between Michael Jordan and Clyde Drexler.
Michael, a gambler in all martial arts, on the eve of the final series put it quite tactfully: they say, we should not consider the upcoming matches as Jordan vs. Drexler fights - teams will compete. In general, he spoke successfully to the press, did not boast and spoke with respect about his rivals.
Of course, Jordan had personal motives associated with these matches. He had heard enough comparisons of him with Drexler, and now he had a real chance to show in practice who is who.
Michael was determined to crush the Portland, and at the same time make a mockery of Drexler. Everything inside him was seething: tell me, someone considers me a second-rate player. Okay, you'll pay for this. Jordan was sure that, despite all the compliments to Clyde, his game was far from perfect. In the series, which consisted of 6 games, the Bulls defeated rivals quite easily, and became NBA champions for the second year in a row. After that, the sensational comparisons between Clyde Drexler and Michael Jordan disappeared forever.
Season 1992-1993
In the 1992-93 season, despite excellent statistics, Jordan lost the regular season MVP award to his friend Charles Barkley. Significantly, Jordan and the Bulls faced Barkley and his Phoenix Suns in the NBA Finals.
Jordan especially enjoyed playing Phoenix because he got the chance to face Dan Marley, alias Dan Thunder. In fact, he did nothing wrong to him. The case was in Krause (at that time the general manager of the Chicago Bulls), who almost idolized this player and at one time wanted to take him to the club during the next draft.
Then, however, Jerry changed his mind, but he constantly praised Dan, telling everyone what a great and versatile player he was, how equally strong he was in attack and defense.
Michael was always jealous of other people's glory, and to hear praise of someone from the lips of the hated Krause - this was beyond his strength. Jordan's teammates, of course, noticed that in the matches with Phoenix, as soon as Dan appeared on the court, Michael tried his best to beat him. Lionel Collins, assistant head coach of Phoenix, unaware of the friction between Krause and Jordan, even decided that Michael had some personal motives to take revenge on Dan Thunder. When Jordan got the ball, he dribbled, rushing close to Marley, as if he wanted to tell him: “You see, you can’t hold me.”
After the final whistle to mark the end of Game 6 against Phoenix, Michael picked up Paxson's winner and lifted it high over his head. The comrades decided that now Jordan would say something about the upcoming trip to Disneyland.
But instead, Michael yelled happily: “Well, Dan Grom? We still kicked your ass?" The Bulls won their third NBA championship.
Michael Jordan's departure from basketball to baseball
After leading his club to the championship title for the third time, Jordan felt it was time to leave basketball. With a heavy feeling, he went to talk with his coach Phil Jackson, knowing that this news would upset him. However, to himself, Michael decided that although this was the right choice, but if he dissuaded him, he might come to his senses. Jordan began the conversation cautiously, afraid that the cunning and great diplomat Jackson would really convince him in the end.
But the coach immediately remarked in a blunt manner that he was not going to persuade him - let Michael listen to what his inner voice tells him. He only reminded Jordan that by retiring from basketball, he would deprive millions of ordinary people of the pleasure. His talent, as Jackson put it, is not just the talent of an athlete - here the sport has already turned into an art, and therefore Michael's talent is akin to Michelangelo's talent.
And the artist creates not for himself, but for millions of people who have a rest from the dull everyday life. “Michael,” Jackson finished his tirade, “geniuses are very rare, and since God has rewarded you with such a talent, think carefully before you bury it in the ground.”
Jordan, after listening carefully to the coach, said: “I appreciate your words, but I feel like something has turned off in me. I've exhausted my options." The departure of the legend of American basketball shocked the army of millions of his fans. Michael stated that for him there were no unconquered peaks in basketball, so he decided to leave, being at the zenith of fame, and take up baseball. It is rightly said: they do not look for good from good. Having spent the baseball "Chicago White Soxl" season-1994, Jordan led the league in errors. Two years later, he sent a fax to the NBA's Chicago Bulls: "I'm coming back!"
Return of Michael Jordan to the NBA, 1994-1995 season.
In 21 months, Jordan naturally lost his playing skills.
Among other things, he found himself in a completely different team. The new Bulls shift, who had never played with Jordan before, were in awe of him and couldn't adjust to him. And yet, with his return, the Chicago club has noticeably improved.
Before Michael came along, the Bulls had 34 wins and 31 losses. With his arrival, the team made up for lost time - in 17 matches, it won 13 victories. In a memorable game with the Knicks, Jordan showed up in all his former glory, scoring 55 points. In the playoff series, the Bulls won three of the four games played against the Charlotte Hornets, but then lost to Orlando. The fact that Michael had not yet found his real form had an effect.
After the last game in the playoff series, which decided the sad fate of the Chicago club, Jordan spoke to reporters for more than an hour. He did not hide anything from them and fully admitted his guilt in the failure of the Bulls. According to him, he has not yet had time to restore his form and play well with new partners.
The journalists felt that Michael could not wait for the next season, in which he would definitely teach a lesson in skill.
Season 1995-1996
Something incredible was going on in the press. However, Michael has always been the center of attention of journalists, but now they caught his every word, followed his every step. Tim Hallam, spokesman for the Chicago club, referred to his team as “Jesus Christ and the Apostles.” Parodying the style of TV presenters commenting on local news, he told reporters, “Jesus is in his room right now, refreshing himself before the match. Details at 11 o'clock.
Jordana seriously prepare for season 1995-96. From the start of the season, Chicago dominated the league, eventually finishing the regular season with the best record in NBA history, 72-10. Jordan led the league in scoring, averaging 30.4 points, and won the regular season MVP and All-Star Game titles. In the playoffs, Chicago suffered only three losses in four series, convincingly defeating the Seattle SuperSonics in the NBA Finals.
Jordan was named Finals MVP for a record fourth time.
1996-1997 season
No one, except for Jordan himself, tracked each of his performances with such care. He was well aware that in another match he could make mistakes, for which the press would happily catch on. A howl will rise: Jordan, they say, is no longer the same. Therefore, in post-match interviews, he constantly said: “I know you guys noticed a couple of my mistakes, but I do my job, and, in my opinion, not bad.”
Since Jordan was incredibly proud, he was very unwilling to share the fate of those athletes who artificially extended their careers, although everyone already saw that their time had passed. It is very difficult to figure out whether it is time to leave the sport or not. Here, as they say, you can see it from the side. For example, it was hard for Michael to look at the aging Larry Bird, who was tormented by back pain. Once a great player, he could not stand now single combat with clumsy and half-wits.
Season 1996-1997 The Bulls played in the same vein as the previous one. True, this time they won fewer victories - not 72, but 69, but this is a trifle. The main thing is that, contrary to the hopes of competitors, Jordan was clearly not going to grow old. His team again reached the final, where they met with the Utah Jazz.
Jordan showed incredible fighting qualities. In the fifth match of the final, he entered the court completely sick, barely able to stand on his feet. It looked like he was about to collapse and never get up again. But, nevertheless, he brought his team 38 points, and, as always, brilliantly spent the end of the meeting, gaining 15 points in the last quarter of the match. The Bulls won by 9.0-88, winning the series in six games. For the fifth time in the finals, Jordan won the MVP award.
Season 1997-1998
In autumn 1997 he was already rich. Jordan earned $78 million last season, and the upcoming season promises the same, if not more.
Michael gradually turned into a kind of financial corporation, consisting of one person - from himself. Speaking about the owners of the club for which he played, or about the companies whose products he advertised (sports shoes, soft drinks, the same hamburgers), he called them nothing more than "my partners."
Jordan certainly became the most famous American in the world, leaving behind the President of the United States, and all movie stars and rock music. American journalists and diplomats who, on duty, had to visit the remote rural corners of Asia and Africa, were amazed to see local boys in a godforsaken village, proudly wearing tattered copies of Jordan's jersey - the same one in which he plays for the Chicago Bulls.
Jordan and Chicago won 62 games to 20 in season 1997-1998 Jordan's high performance (28.7 points per game) secured him the NBA regular season MVP title for the fifth time. Chicago basketball players won the Eastern Conference Finals for the third straight season, playing a grueling seven games against the Indiana Pacers in the final series.
He rushed off the playground like a schoolboy let go home from school. Michael was just as happy on the plane that took the Bulls to Salt Lake City to play Utah.
Jordan's team not only made it to the NBA Finals again, but also won the toughest series of Indiana, although it seemed they should have lost to them in all respects. And it's not the luck of the Chicagoans - the Bulls won deservedly, with sweat and blood. And Michael, tired to the limit, understood this, probably, better than anyone. Jordan was looking forward to the final series against Utah.
All season Michael Jordan dreamed of meeting the Utah Jazz in the NBA Championship Finals. Why with this club? Yes, if only because, according to many, if this club gets the right to play most of the final matches at the home stadium, it will definitely win. Michael was eager to refute this popular belief, and at the same time to demonstrate to everyone the difference between him and Karl Malone, although he sincerely admired this player.
At the end of the Final, which Chicago still won, Jordan raised his hands above his head, showing six fingers this time. He led his team to a sixth league title. The moment has been hailed as the greatest moment in NBA playoff history. Jordan was named Finals MVP, averaging 33.5 points per game. This NBA Finals is still considered the highest rated television event ever, with Game 6 having the largest television audience in NBA history.
Second retirement and second return
In 1999, already tired of basketball, Michael Jordan announced his retirement for the second time, and his number 23 jersey was solemnly raised under the arches of the Sports Palace in Chicago.
However, Jordan is a very active person, full of ideas, including what is the best way to invest his money. In January 2000, he bought a stake in the Washington Wizards and became the junior partner of the two owners. The team then performed extremely unsuccessfully, taking the last places in the NBA championships, and that is why the idea of returning Michael Jordan to the court arose.
He had to return the shares because, according to NBA rules, you can't own the team you play on.
Two seasons, from 2001 to 2003, Michael played for Washington. As a player, of course, he was no longer the same, but still, his return made a lot of noise and benefited the team. Be that as it may, but in two seasons in Washington, Jordan achieved 100 percent capacity of the stadium and became the best 40-year-old player in the history of the league. The will to win and a semblance of former skill were still present, but the possibilities were far from the same.
Michael scored his last points from the game in the middle of the third period in a match with Philadelphia. Having received the ball at the right sideline from Larry Hughes, Jordan moved away from Eric Snow guarding him and threw from an average distance. The audience is ecstatic. Jordan then sits down on the bench, trying to ignore the audience's calls for a bow. Only when all the players of Philadelphia join in the demands of the fans, Collins almost by force pushes Michael to the court, where he shakes hands with opponents and judges.
Then Michael turns around and leaves, covering his head with a towel. Simply, without poses and speeches. Leaves and closes an entire era in the history of basketball. The final siren sounds...
Michael Jordan's post-basketball life
After his third retirement, Jordan was about to return to his previous role as Director of Basketball Operations with the Wizards. However, on May 7, 2003, team owner Abe Pollin fired Jordan from that position. Jordan later stated that he felt betrayed and if he had known that he would be fired, he would never have played for the Wizards.
Over the following years, Jordan kept fit by playing celebrity charity golf tournaments and spending time with his family in Chicago. Michael promoted his clothing brand Jordan, and also became interested in motorsports. Since 2004, Jordan has owned the Michael Jordan Motorsports professional team, which competes with two Suzuki motorcycles in the American Motorcyclist Association's premium Superbike class.
On June 15, 2006, Michael Jordan bought a minority stake in the Charlotte Bobcats. As part of the deal, Jordan became the team's head of basketball operations. In 2010, he bought out a controlling stake and began to make all the main strategic decisions. Jordan's next win, now in business, didn't come easy. In addition to him, the former head of the Houston Rockets, George Postolos, claimed a controlling stake, but Michael's arguments turned out to be more weighty.
April 2009Jordan received one of the greatest honors of his life: he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. “It meant one thing: my basketball career is over,” Michael explained at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
You can talk about Michael Jordan only by using superlatives of adjectives. He is the standard basketball player. Coaches like him are usually referred to as "winning players." In high school, college, and the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan only stepped on the court to win.
He simply did not accept any other outcome of the meeting. He did not play rough, did not resort to prohibited means, on the contrary, he was a gentleman player. He just worked on the site more than anyone else, did everything on it, and did it better than any of his partners. For admirers of the talent of this great player, I recommend reading the book by David Halberstam - “A Player for All Seasons: Michael Jordan and the World He Created.
