About Jordan
关于乔丹
Michael Jeffrey Jordan is a former American professional basketball player， active businessman， and majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats。 His biography on the National Basketball Association （NBA） website states， “By acclamation， Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time。” Jordan was one of the most effectively marketed athletes of his generation and was instrumental in popularizing the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s。
After a standout career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill， where he was a member of the Tar Heels’ National Championship team in 1982， Jordan joined the NBA’s Chicago Bulls in 1984。 He quickly emerged as a league star， entertaining crowds with his prolific scoring。 His leaping ability， illustrated by performing slam dunks from the free throw line in slam dunk contests， earned him the nicknames “Air Jordan” and “His Airness”。 He also gained a reputation for being one of the best defensive players in basketball。 In 1991， he won his first NBA championship with the Bulls， and followed that achievement with titles in 1992 and 1993， securing a “three－peat”。 Although Jordan abruptly retired from basketball at the beginning of the 1993–94 NBA season to pursue a career in baseball， he rejoined the Bulls in 1995 and led them to three additional championships （1996， 1997， and 1998） as well as an NBA－record 72 regular－season wins in the 1995–96 NBA season。 Jordan retired for a second time in 1999， but returned for two more NBA seasons from 2001 to 2003 as a member of the Washington Wizards。
Jordan’s individual accolades and accomplishments include five MVP awards， ten All－NBA First Team designations， nine All－Defensive First Team honors， fourteen NBA All－Star Game appearances， three All－Star Game MVP awards， ten scoring titles， three steals titles， six NBA Finals MVP awards， and the 1988 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award。 He holds the NBA records for highest career regular season scoring average （30。12 points per game） and highest career playoff scoring average （33。45 points per game）。 In 1999， he was named the greatest North American athlete of the 20th century by ESPN， and was second to Babe Ruth on the Associated Press’s list of athletes of the century。 He was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame on April 6， 2009 and was inducted on September 11， 2009。
在多数的人眼中，迈克尔·乔丹是有史以来最伟大的篮球运动员，他的波澜壮阔而富有传奇色彩的篮球生涯，以及他对于这项运动的巨大影响力不可避免地让人们把他推上了神坛：优雅、速度、力量、富有艺术性，即兴创造力和无比强烈的求胜欲望的完美结合。
甚至同时期的超级巨星们都承认乔丹至高无上的地位，魔术师埃尔文·约翰逊说：“乔丹在顶层，然后才是我们。”但他所造成的影响远远不只这些荣誉和冠军。当他初入联盟时，他是一个具有凌厉第一步，华丽突破和杂耍般灌篮的天生得分手，而当他离开时，他已经变成了一个文化的象征。在他的篮球生涯中，他用场上眼花缭乱的表演和场下翩翩的个人风度征服了大众，更加速了NBA全球化的推进过程，他是当之无愧的王者。
