Jordan was born in Brooklyn and spent his childhood in Wilmington, North Carolina. He attended Emsley A. Laney High School, where he was a B average and star in three sports - football (quarterback), baseball, and basketball. In college he majored in geography. Jordan has two brothers, Larry and James R. One sister, Delores, and one sister, Roslyn. James R. Jordan is the military commander of the 35th Signal Brigade of the 18th Airborne Regiment. At the age of 47, he became famous for insisting on staying in Iraq. Jordan now lives in Highland Park, Illinois. He participated in the varsity team of Laney High School. In the second year, Jordan, who was 5 feet 11 inches thin, was kicked out of the school team. By his senior year, his height had jumped to 6 feet 3. Inch, from then on, he truly embarked on the road to stardom. Jordan attended Wilmington High School. Although he had a rough time at that time, and was suspended many times in the first grade, just because the short man of 5 feet and 11 inches was excluded from the next basketball game by the basketball school team, in the end he became the Jordan team of baseball childhood. , an outstanding student on the basketball team and football team, an outstanding star. In the summer between the second and third grade years, Jordan grew 4 inches. Averaged 25 points per game. In his fourth grade, Jordan was selected to the McDonald's All-American team and became the only high school student in history to achieve a triple-double, averaging 29.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 10.1 assists per game. After graduating from high school, Jordan, who was selected to the All-American high school team, entered North Carolina, which he longed for. As a freshman, he was somewhat in the shadow of seniors James Worthy and Sam Perkins. But in the NCAA finals against Georgetown University, Jordan shined. He scored 16 points, 9 rebounds and hit the winning shot with 18 seconds left, giving North Carolina a 63-62 victory. Letting Georgia's other great freshman -- Patrick Ewing -- do what he did years later in the NBA -- came to nothing. The next year, he was named College Player of the Year by Sporting News. The third year, he was re-elected and won the Naismith and Wooden Awards. That year, he was selected third in the draft by the Chicago Bulls. The No. 1 pick selected by the Houston Rockets that year was, as everyone expected, the 7-foot center from the University of Houston - Hakeem Olajuwon. Surprisingly, the Portland Trail Blazers selected Kentucky's 7-foot-1 center Sam Bowie second overall. Bowie suffered several injuries in college, but the Trail Blazers passed on Jordan because they had acquired another exciting shooting guard the year before, glider Clyde Drexler. In the end, Drexler became a star and Bowie, an injury-prone guy, lived out his career in mediocrity. After losing the title in the 1984 Olympics, Jordan's rookie season was brilliant and he won the title of Rookie of the Year. That year, he averaged 28.2 points per game (second only to Bernard King and Bird), 6.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists and was selected to the second team. More importantly, the Bulls won 11 more games than the previous year and successfully advanced to the playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs, Jordan scored 29.3 points per game, but unfortunately the team lost 3:1 to the Milwaukee Bucks and was eliminated. "In his rookie season, his offensive range was not wide enough, and he seemed a bit loose on defense." His first NBA coach Kevin Loughery said. His mid-range shooting - 8-15 feet from the basket - is still very good (51.5 field goal percentage), and his steals cover up his lack of standard body posture when defending.

Improving in both areas will ultimately allow him to become a threat anywhere on the court and make him the best one-on-one defender. "Even before his rookie season officially started, people were sure that the Rockets and Trail Blazers would regret their choices." Bernard King, the scoring champion of the year, was very sure about Dunk as early as the preseason. Magazine (Hoop magazine) said this - "All I can say," King said: "People in Chicago are really making a lot of money." Facts have proved so. In his rookie season, Jordan conquered the public and came to the Chicago Stadium to watch the game. The audience has grown exponentially. As long as they can see Jordan's wonderful performance, fans of the opposing team are even willing to pay the price of losing the game. Jordan's off-court performance is as unique and charming as he is on the basketball court. Because of his unlimited bright prospects, Nike signed him early as its main sneaker spokesperson, but the results far exceeded expectations. During Jordan's rookie preseason, he wore an unprecedented Bulls red and black pair of boots. The NBA initially considered this a violation of the "Uniform Consistency Code" and would be fined if he continued to wear it. He still wore it a few more times, and as a result, this shoe and other MJ series sneakers caused unprecedented craze in the market. Unlike most NBA players, his contract allows him to play at any time during the offseason - a clause known as the "Basketball Love Clause." He had a habit of sticking his tongue out as he flew toward the hoop—just like his father did when he was working on mechanics, a move that became one of his trademarks. He had been wearing his beloved North Carolina shorts under the Bulls' shorts, which led him to start wearing longer shorts, perhaps because they made him more comfortable. Whatever the reason, baggy shorts became a fashion that spread throughout the league and even other sports. The rookie's magic even worked on the referees. They said he enjoyed a little preferential treatment that veterans who have worked hard for many years can enjoy, so that he would not be blown away even if he took one more step. Many people say that the reason he can get past defenders so easily is because he walks. But according to slow-motion analysis, the real reason was that his first step was too fast, and he did not break any rules. Despite all the attention, Jordan remained humble. He never ridiculed the Blazers for not selecting him, telling Sports Illustrated before his rookie season: "He (Bowie) is a better fit for them than I am. They already have enough big guards and small forwards." His self-effacement is even more obvious in another sentence in the same article: "I hope I can play in an All-Star game at least once in my life." This goal was quickly achieved, and soon after he was voted as the starting shooting guard for the Eastern Team in the All-Star Game. At the All-Star Game, he encountered his first career obstacle: his teammate, Isiah Thomas of the Detroit Pistons. The media believed that Thomas deliberately froze the performance of this 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 of playing time. In the remaining days, he could only face this so-called conspiracy alone. Speculations about this event persisted for a long time, but Thomas himself denied this theory. In the end, this feud ended with Thomas, then the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star Team, convincing Vince Carter to give up the starting position to Jordan, who participated in the last All-Star Game in the 2003 All-Star Game. After playing just three games in his second season, Jordan broke a bone in his left foot and was unable to attend the All-Star Game despite being voted into the All-Star Game. But when he returned to the court at the end of the season, he scored 63 points in the first round of the playoffs against the Celtics, a historical playoff scoring record. After two overtimes, the Bulls finally lost one point, 131-132, and left the playoffs with the fate of being swept; but in this series of games, Jordan scored an average of 43.7, which made all the players who had ever Anyone who doubted Jordan's ability shut up.

Starting from the 1986-87 season, his career-long campaign to rewrite NBA records officially began. This year he averaged 37.1 points per game, and maintained 30 points in the next 7 years; scored 40 points in 9 consecutive games, and scored 23 points in a game in a row... These are NBA records . He won the Slam Dunk Contest trophy in the All-Star Game and successfully defended it the following year. Unfortunately, the Celtics once again eliminated the Bulls in the first round of the playoffs. After the season, the Bulls' management began to build a championship-level team. The team selected power forward Horace Grant, and on draft day, they traded center Olden Polyinice from the Seattle SuperSonics for versatile small forward Scottie Pippen. In the 1987-88 season, Jordan won all the important awards you can think of, including Most Valuable Player, Best Defensive Player, All-Star MVP... everything. With the help of strong teammates, Jordan led the Bulls to eliminate the Cleveland Cavaliers and pass the first round of the playoffs. However, they lost 1-4 to the Detroit Pistons in the second round. The Pistons are known as the "Bad Boys", and their extremely aggressive style of play allowed Jordan's Bulls to return with hatred in the Eastern Conference finals for two consecutive years. The Pistons coaching staff created a defensive strategy called the "Jordan Rules". Simply put, there are always two or three people double-teaming Jordan. Although the Bulls have been unable to overcome this difficulty, they are getting closer to the championship little by little! In the 1988-89 season, Jordan had a bumper harvest, averaging 32.5 points per game, a career-high 8.0 assists per game, ranking 10th in the league, a career-high 8.0 rebounds, and a career-high 2.89 steals, ranking third in the league. In the decisive Game 5 of the first round of the playoffs against the Cavaliers, Jordan shot a long buzzer-beating jumper over Craig Ehlo, giving the Bulls a victory. 101-100 narrowly defeated the opponent. This wonderful goal, known as "the shot" in history, will always remain in people's hearts. Before the start of the 1989-90 season, Sports Illustrated published an article saying that Jordan was considering playing on the PGA tour after retiring. Meanwhile, Chicago's front office was making other moves. That summer, the Bulls fired head coach Doug Collins and brought in Phal Jackson. Under Jackson's guidance, the Bulls began to practice the "Triangle Offense," a tactical system that uses quick passes and cuts to create opportunities for five people on the field. However, when the tactics failed and there was not much offensive time, Jordan had the right to fire at will. . In the regular season that year, the Bulls won 55-27, which was the Bulls' best record since the 1971-72 season. Jordan scored a career-high 69 points against the Cavaliers, defeating their opponents 117-113 in overtime. His three-point shot has also begun to become a weapon, and his shooting percentage of 37.6 is a full 10 points higher than before. However, the Pistons once again shattered the Bulls' dream in the final game of the Eastern Conference Finals. Losing to the Pistons for three consecutive years has made many people doubt that a scoring machine like Jordan cannot win the championship title. There are many critics who think that he is not as good as Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, the two superstars of the 1980s. They think that Jordan is just a pure scorer and cannot make teammates like Larry Bird and Magic. Do better; Bird and Magic helped the team become a top team as soon as they joined the team, but Jordan's Bulls were still a mid-range team until the late 1980s. But the rise of the Bulls dynasty after 1991 and Jordan's gradual maturity made them shut up. In the 1991 season, Jordan led the Bulls to great success. They only lost two games in the entire playoffs and reached the top for the first time with absolute dominance. This included taking revenge by sweeping the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals, and defeating the Lakers in straight games in the Finals after losing the first game at home.

Since Magic Johnson soon retired due to AIDS, this game became the swan song of the Lakers' "Showtime". Jordan averaged 31.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game and won the first of his six NBA Finals MVP trophies. At this time, Jordan had completely shaved his head. On the one hand, he led a new trend in hairstyle, and on the other hand, he also made himself look more outstanding. He finally fulfilled his championship dream. Although he has harsh demands and harsh criticism on his teammates, victory is the best lubricant. In the next two years, the Bulls defeated Clyde Drexler's Trail Blazers and Charles Barkley's Suns in six games to win the championship. In the later stages of this three-peat, Jordan is no longer just a star, he has reached the realm of a hero. Early in his career, he envied Peter Pan's gravity-defying leaps and his ability to stay young forever. However, in the past three years, players and teams seem to have recognized that it is Jordan who "jumps away from the gravity of the earth and can stay young forever." He has countless fans of all ages, especially children. He seems to have a kind of magic, just like the sports drink advertisement he endorses says "Be Like Mike", which makes those children follow them crazily. Follow his footsteps.
