The childless player Michael Jordan

The answer to the question “why Michael Jordan’s eyes look like this in Last Dance” is a possibility that you don’t need to be a doctor to meet her. It is simple, very simple. The boy was not sleeping. Probably, with a fortune said to amount to … a whopping $ 2,100,000,000, you’re not even sleeping now.

What you had to understand in the NBA was the Dream Team, the team that tarnished our galaxy and half a dozen of our neighbors who were going to Barcelona for the 1992 Olympics. There, his teammates realized that something was wrong with the. Of course, they also felt the competitive spirit on their skin, as Magic Johnson described the story of the most exciting match the world has ever seen.

It wasn’t just about his monomania, but about not being able to do everything he wanted during the day. Whether for playing golf, playing cards, drinking or doing anything else. The descriptions take him to the tenth day of the Games, not to sleep, but to take a nap. No one had ever seen him sleep. Even if he was lying in his bag, his eyes narrowed, he was in contact with the environment. In one case, he played poker with Johnson until 6 a.m., in another he woke up his coach, Chuck Daley, to go play golf after losing the day before. You are in Barcelona. In Monaco, where the team was preparing, he had a passport to the Monte Carlo casino.

The story of the episode in which the Bulls made a scandal in a hotel room and Jordan left because someone was arrested, even if he did not, was one of the most indicative of his commitment to basketball. The replacement for this Hui, of course, came with his proverbial concern for the game, which, like passion and weakness, took on enormous proportions as he became a world star and tried to cope with the pressure. Anyone who has played, who has still lost money that has made them “cry” in any form of game, can feel the feeling and despair. In the case of Jordan, in fact, the game was responsible for all the difficulties that happened to it in 1993: the death of his father and his retirement from basketball.

A classic story

From the first days after July 23, 1993, the decibels did not even stay low because James Raymond Jordan, father of 2 girls and 3 boys, was “eaten” by gangsters for his secondary debt to them. Daniel Andre Green and Larry Michael Demiri “persuaded” the red Lexus that Michael Jordan had bought for his father and shot him to steal it.

On August 3, the body was found in the Macaulay of South Carolina and, due to decomposition, was not identified until August 13. The two thieves were arrested and pleaded guilty. Ten days later, Jordan made the announcement of his first game, and rumors of his own murder took the form of an avalanche. The declaration “If the Bulls have me, if Commissioner Stern accepts me in the NBA, he could come back.”It unraveled the mystery and was another powerful argument.

Jordan may have felt remorse for his father’s death, but only for the car. Instead, he was allegedly pressured by Commissioner David Stern, who received an informal sentence of one year. If so, it is a well-buried secret. The late Stern is said to have imposed himself on Jordan and gave him a year … permission to put his life in order. The demands of the times had changed and the game was no longer what a mother would want her child to do. It would be outrageous even on the verge of a criminal to have this urge, because he admired an athlete. This story, although it seems to be standing, is now, in the form that the NBA has taken, it is impossible that it was not revealed with evidence and it is almost impossible that only two people knew it while it was happening.

The statement of the best basketball player in history (in any case, for a respectable percentage of friends of the game) to Ahmad Rasad, who “In 1993 I did not have a game problem, but a competition problem”, something that reminds the guy who smokes a lot because he did not know what to do with his hands. It is truer than anyone who is not addicted to cigarettes could imagine, but it is not the essence. And Jordan may not have had a problem with the game, but he did not have constant challenges to keep his mind moving, which was not controversial.

His problem was dominance. For the penultimate Alpha Male of the NBA, earlier, that is, Kobe Bryant began and gave the epilogue to the project, the battle had acquired an undeniable status. Jordan lived in a state of permanent war on his head. Even the $ 20,000 diamond earrings she gave Charles Barkley on a golf course when he almost admitted, or at least that’s what this testimony is about, that it was an act aimed solely at manipulation. highlights a part of the logic, which concerns your most important opponents.

He played golf with Danny Edge in 1986, invited the Suns to his home in Chicago for dinner during the 1993 finals, and developed a friendship with basketball players, to the point of infuriating New York Knicks coach Jeff van Gaddy. resulting in the latter declaring that Jordan is “swindler”that is, the guy who steals from others by earning their trust first, and MJ disrespects the Knicks and indulges in his favorite “splash” on the New York team coach. For all that, he always had a strong motivation, looking for a look or a grimace to show off.

Golf bets, papers were on the agenda. Jordan had reached a point where no one stepped on him, and what was left was bad habits. Without being a woman, Jordan was not the definition of a bourbon. The other bad habits, the drink and the cigarette, were not in his repertoire and the binge eating belonged to a future era.

‘God’ and the game

Gambling has certainly been a haven, which is certainly costly as a wrong trend and very painful for him and his fellow man. However, it is not the best known story, that the NBA League has been investigating whether Jordan was gambling on league games and, most importantly, whether he was gambling on a Chicago Bulls game after the 1993 championship. That year, the Bulls’ three bulls in the final with the Phoenix Suns must have felt the most pressure, while the system needed to protect him.

Richard Eskinas, a San Diego businessman who played golf with Jordan, allegedly confessed to journalist Armen Ketagian that he heard a phone call in March 1992, in which MJ said the phrase “The difference will be exactly 7 points”. The investigation closed a week after he officially resigned, and the league confirmed that he had admitted to betting on golf games, but never on NBA games.

The beginning of the problem goes back to high school. Jordan wrote a letter to the girl accompanying the graduates, expressing her joy at the fact that she had paid a bet she had lost. In college, he lost $ 5 in a game of pool and his winner, seeing years later, demanded a check, not money. It was put up for auction in 2019.

Jordan was betting with a Bulls bodyguard on the “bull” who would be the first to go through the Chicago Stadium indoor gymnasium matrix and almost always won, after receiving the information. He played poker, blackjack, and dice before the playoffs. It is rumored that a large amount of money, on the eve of the fifth final with the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake in 1997, weakened him, resulting in the famous flu game. Before the second Eastern Final with the Knicks in 1993, he reportedly lost a respectable amount in a poker game. In the next two games he was featured … deadly. He replaced this image with the 54 points he scored against Pat Riley’s team.

If it was a $ 100 bet with 9 teammates at an airport, that his suitcase would go out first, after ‘lubricating’ the employees, or Eddie Dow, a guy who was found dead and had a check in his briefcase . $ 108,000 signed by Jordan, the game was a vehicle that made him work and, in conclusion, seeing his eyes, it still exists.

At the Wizards, he played with young Cuomo Brown, despite instructions from his coach, Johnny Bach. In 2007 he was rolling dice as a dying man in Las Vegas, losing $ 5,000,000. There were countless poker games at the All-Star Game, and in 2019, when he visited Chris Paul’s camp, he bet with the Oklahoma City Thunder base that if he missed three shots, the camp’s kids would get free Air Jordan shoes. .

Jordan himself did not feel or feel remorse for this appeal, as he felt nothing. The lack of emotion, after all, by someone other than his own blood (with brilliant determination, as far as possible, except for his commemorative prayer speech by Bryant) arises from all the known snapshots we have available. As in such cases, it is difficult for you to create space for the other person to sit next to you. And Jordan couldn’t understand that.

On the one hand, such monstrous cynicism is enough to create this huge sporting phenomenon. Orson Welles, the creator of “Citizen Kane”, considered one of the best in history, had the same attitude towards people. On the other hand, this anger is not appropriate for the rest of life. But even many years later, seeing him tell stories about the Bulls as seriously as a doctor talks about trying to eradicate a disease, he realizes that he lacks empathy. And the most obvious thing is that he doesn’t care. That doesn’t give you a penny. Unless, of course, you get it back one way or another (even if it’s “stone, scissors, pencil, paper” for kids).
