He played the guard and forward positions. Jordan was famous for his accurate shooting in pressure situations and his exciting style of play. He could break loose from a crowd of players. Then he would drive over, around, and through the other players on the court to score. He was known for his “hang time.” He seemed able to stay suspended in the air while making a driving layup or a long jump shot. Michael Jordan was born in New York City and grew up in North Carolina. He did not show much early promise as a basketball player. He didn’t even make his high school team as a freshman. He improved his game enough to be selected by the University of North Carolina. He made the winning shot in the final championship game of the NCAA tournament his freshman year. Jordan was selected to play by the Chicago Bulls in the NBA. He was Rookie of the Year in the NBA in 1985. He led the Bulls to six NBA titles in the 1990s. In those years, he simply dominated the game. He had the highest average points per game for his entire career. He led the NBA in scoring in ten different seasons. Jordan left the Bulls in 1993 to play baseball, which didn’t work out. He returned to the Bulls in 1995. Later, he was part owner and president of the Washington Wizards. He also played for them. He retired in 2003. Jordan was very successful in using his name to promote products, such as tennis shoes and sportswear. The popular Nike Air Jordan ® shoes are named after him. His endorsements of these products remain successful even though he has retired from basketball. Fascinating People Download 10.24 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
