MJ
MJ, a name so familar, was being echoed in the movie SpiderMa n3. The name MJ might have refered to the spiderman’s girl but it provoked the emergence of the image of another man in my mind, MJ means more than that certainly, as it means Michael Jordan.
Jordan led the NBA in scoring in 10 seasons (NBA record) and tied Wilt Chamberlain’s record of seven consecutive scoring titles. He was also a fixture on the NBA All-Defensive Team, making the roster nine times. Jordan also holds the top career and playoff scoring averages of 30.1 and 33.4 points per game, respectively. By 1998, the season of his Finals-winning shot against the Jazz, he was well known throughout the league as a clutch performer. In the regular season, Jordan was the Bulls’ primary threat in the final seconds of a close game and in the playoffs, Jordan would always demand the ball at crunch time. Jordan’s total of 5,987 points in the playoffs is the highest in NBA history. He retired with 32,292 points, placing him third on the NBA’s all-time scoring list behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone[ this achievement was only attained(attainable) after the 3rd retirement of MJ ].
With five regular-season MVPs, six Finals MVPs, and three All-Star MVPs, Jordan is the most decorated player ever to play in the NBA. Jordan finished among the top three in regular-season MVP voting a record 10 times, and was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996.
Jordan’s athletic leaping ability, highlighted in his back-to-back slam dunk contest championships in 1987 and 1988, is credited by many with having influenced a generation of young players. Several current NBA All-Stars have stated that they considered Jordan their role model while growing up, including LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade. In addition, commentators have dubbed a number of next-generation players "the next Michael Jordan" upon their entry to the NBA, including Grant Hill, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Vince Carter, and Dwyane Wade. Although Jordan was a well-rounded player, his "Air Jordan" image is also often credited with inadvertently decreasing the jump shooting skills, defense, and fundamentals of young players. A fact which Jordan himself has lamented in the past, "I think it was the exposure of Michael Jordan; the marketing of Michael Jordan. Everything was marketed towards the things that people wanted to see, which was scoring and dunking. That Michael Jordan still played defense and an all-around game, but it was never really publicized." Although Jordan has done much to increase the status of the game, some of his impact on the game’s popularity in America appears to be fleeting. Television ratings in particular increased only during his time in the league and have subsequently lowered each time he left the game.
With the recognition that 2002-03 would be Jordan’s final season, tributes were paid to him in nearly every arena in the NBA. In his final game at his old home court, the United Center in Chicago, Jordan received a prolonged standing ovation. The Miami Heat retired the #23 jersey on April 11, 2003, even though he never played for the team. At the 2003 All-Star Game, Vince Carter(nicknamed vinsanity) gave up his starting spot as small forward to Jordan, and the halftime ceremony was dedicated to Jordan’s career. Jordan’s final NBA game was on April 16, 2003 in Philadelphia. Having sat out for much of the fourth quarter, Jordan re-entered the game in the final minutes, after the Philadelphia crowd started chanting "We want Mike!" with 1:44 remaining. Jordan sank his last two free throws, and then exited to a standing ovation.
No one will ever get a bigger retirement applause, humble as he is, he deserved every clap that audience gave him, now all we have is his youtube videos and the memories.. he will live on as the greatest, and no matter who comes in the league, kobe, lebron, vince, AI, t-mac, wade, MJ is, and always will be, the greatest to ever play the game.
