Ladies and Gentlemen ......
Welcome Jordan, a model of basketball, and David Thompson, a member of the 1996 Hall of Fame. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Jordan again.
Thank you ....... Thank you ...... I told my friends that I would show up on the podium and say thank you. However, I cannot. I need to thank many people. I would also like to thank today's live broadcast. You will not only see me, but also have many familiar faces. In the past four weeks, I have received many problems. They asked, "Why did you choose David Thompson ?" I know the reason. David also knows. Maybe you don't know. I grew up in North Carolina. When I was 11 years old, David won the NBA championship in 1974. I don't support North Carolina, but I was impressed by David Thompson, not just because of basketball, but because of his attitude and will ), we have all gone through many tests and hardships, and he has done it, which has inspired me deeply. When I invited him to be my host, I knew I was nervous, but he agreed happily.
I have always been a member of North Carolina. They all know that I am really a member of North Carolina. Coach Smith, Larry Brown, Sam Perkins, James Worthy, all of them know. It all comes from my parents. My career highlights are everywhere. What else do you know about me? When I saw other people talking about them today, I found that many things about Jerry Sloan are unknown to me. We always call, but I never know the story of his first to eighth grades. Even David Robinson, I have known him for a long time, but I have learned many things from his speech, both good and bad. I also know about Chipson. My parents often talked about him before, but you don't know anything about me?
I have two brothers, James and Larry. They are five feet, four inches, and five feet and a half. They gave me everything I needed. As a brother, we have been competing with each other since we were young. My brother Larry is always arguing with me for something, and I can't compete with him every time. My mother will ask us to enter the house at this time because we are fighting too hard. My eldest brother is always not at home because he is a soldier for 31 years. The source of my sense of competition is far more than that. My sister, she is one year younger than me and does not like to be at home alone. She took many additional courses and eventually graduated from the same year as me. After that, we all went to the University of North Carolina, but graduated one year earlier than me. This is the answer to your question about the sense of competition in my body, where the instinct of competition comes from. (It also comes from) my sister, she was not present today, my father, although he is no longer, but his spirit has been with me. My sense of competition has started to sprout since my first day in sports. I 've participated in any sport, baseball, rugby, basketball, and all you can list.
They ignited the flame in my heart. From my parents, this flame grew stronger as my career grew. For example, coach Smith-what should I say to him? He is a legendary coach. Lerold Smiths, you may not know him. He is the one who entered the school when I was kicked out. He is also at the scene today. He is still six feet 7-inch tall, not tall at all, and his level is similar to that before. But he lit the flame in my heart-Why can he enter the school team and I can't, I want to prove-not just for myself or him, I want to prove to the coach that you have made a wrong choice.
Now I want to talk about Robert Peterson, my roommate. I only knew that he was the best player of the year for North Carolina. But he never played against me. In this way, how can we become the best player. I think it may be because of media promotion and long-term exposure. We are like two unrelated channels-ABC and NBC. from small to large, I have not watched the NBA games in those two, and there is no CBS receiving device in North Carolina. So Peterson became my goal. When I had the opportunity to meet Peterson on the court, the winning nature made me eager to defeat him. Of course he is good, but I don't think he can beat me. Later, he became my roommate. From that moment on, he was the target of my competition. Of course, he did not know about all this. Of course, he knew it later. Coach Smith picked four starters on the day of the selection, but did not have my name, which made me very angry. I think I am qualified to be the first mover. Of course, he has his reasons. He thinks that I am a new person and have no experience. I fully understand all this. But from the perspective of a basketball player, I am qualified to become a starter.
With my career, this sense of competition is always with me. I am honored to be a member of the bulls. At that time, the team's boss was not Jerry launsdorf, but another group of managers: LAF picked me during the draft and Kevin lazi was my first coach. Kevin put me in the starters during training. In order to make the training more competitive, He will punish a team that lost in the training competition for running. At the beginning, our team was ahead, but Kevin moved me to the backward side during the halftime. I think, Kevin, you want to try me, right? So I am very grateful to Kevin for giving me the opportunity to compete. He gave me a stronger desire to win. I think of this as the motivation to inspire me. I know this is for my experience, and often 9 times in 10 times second team will win.
Jerry launsdorf-What can I say about him? In the next year, I hurt my feet when I played seven games. After I recovered, I really wanted to play, then Jerry and a group of medical practitioners started with the theory that I could only play for seven minutes each halftime-although I had to train for two hours every day-I don't care about these arithmetic problems. At that time, the talent show rule was that the team with the worst record was the best candidate. I said: You want to break the jar and get a good signature. I don't care. I just want to win or win, I wanted to enter the playoffs to keep the Bulls so I went to his office and said to him, "Jerry, I said I train for two hours every day, you don't want to play for 14 minutes each time. "We invested a lot in you for a long time, and we put a lot of effort into you," he said. At that time, my leg injury was only 10% more likely to recover. I said: I really want to participate in the competition. He said, "If you have a headache, there are 10 capsules in one box, only one of which is effective, and the other is poison, how do you choose?" I replied, "How serious is the headache ?" Jerry said, "I think you have provided a good answer. Okay, you can join the competition"
Jerry is always playing against me, but it also keeps me competitive. The bull's management layer has created good conditions for me and my teammates. They have made a lot of adjustments for me and my teammates to balance the entire team. In the past 14 years, I have many teammates. I respect each of them. No matter how they look at me, I just want to win. Doug corlinski (coach of the Bull) always works between me and two jerry (launsdorf and Krause. At that time, I wanted to play the summer league. kellins' said: Mike, you are a member of the team and the team doesn't want you to play the summer league. I said: Doug, if you look at my contract, you 'd better print it out. The contract says that I have to love the game. Since I love the game, I should have a ball at any time. Doug said, okay. You can try it. Our relationship is getting better.
Jerry Krause-I don't know who sent an invitation to him. I didn't ask him to come today-I hope he can understand it. The story between us is too long. He and I are both undefeated. He said the team (Management) won the championship. I said: I didn't see the 'Management' guy playing the finals against the flu, but I didn't see the 'Management' guy playing the stage. I know that the team was formed by the management layer, but we were still playing the game. So I think it was the player who won the championship and the task of the management layer was to make the logistics work well. Don't always use the management layer to press the players, because we are playing the game and you are responsible for the money.
Today, my two sons, Marcus and Jeffery, are also on site. You represent me and the whole family. I think you have a heavy burden. If I were you, I wouldn't want to live in the shadows of a person. Look around you, you're sitting around for $1000 a ticket-this was fired from $200 by scalpers. I just paid for it, but I couldn't help it. I have a lot of family members and friends. I have to ask them to participate in today's activity. So I also want to thank the scalpers who have bought tickets. You hold others' expectations. But you need to know that many people are behind you, and you need to make your own choices when this day comes. My mom is always idle. I am usually very busy, but my mom is busier than me. So my mother needs to shoulder the whole family. She is the cornerstone of my life, even now she is still doing two jobs. She is a great female. She taught me a lot. When I go through those failed nights, she has always taught me to look positively at life, about how people think about you, how you treat others, and what is good for children, what is good for you, how to actively view the public influence, and how to think carefully all come from my mother. I am 46 years old, and she is still tirelessly teaching me.
I would also like to thank some people who may not have imagined these names. Isiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, George Gervin. During my rookie season, I was totally frozen by you. You have given me the motivation to move forward. Every day I need to make progress. I want to prove that all my achievements have a clear conscience. No matter how people comment, I never regard rumors as the truth. You have never scared me. In any case, I just want to prove to you that I am qualified to play in this field, just like you. Without a doubt, throughout my career I think I have proved it all, even in the face of pistons, I have done it.
Pat Riley, I remembered that I used to sweep your team. The next day you left a note on my door: I enjoyed your game. Congratulations, but we will see you again. I think you are just like me, enjoying the competition and willing to compete with me. Even if you are from the perspective of a coach, whether it's the Knicks or the heat, every time I play with you, you have the so-called Jordan terminator (invincible irony), and you have John Starks that I like. You don't want me to have dinner with Oakley, because we are a competitor. (Charles Oakley) is my strong competitor in the league and my best friend, patrick Erving is as big as me. We joined the consortium in the same year (it seems that the Helper remembered the special time), But I seldom eat with him. Why? Is it because I am playing the Knicks game? I am a friendly person and I love to interact with others. But once I enter the stadium, I will devote myself to winning each game. I thank you for giving me the motivation I desire.
Phil Jackson, for me, he is the Dean Smiths of my professional league. He honed my will and strengthened my body. He has a deep understanding of the game, and Tex Wenter has given me a lot of guidance. He is very strict with me, and I rarely make him satisfied. He is not on site today. I remember a game where the team fell 5 or 10 points behind, and then I scored 25 points and the team won. Wenter: There is no I in team Jordan: but there is I in win
I think he understands what I say and pays everything for victory. For victory, we pay attention to the overall basketball. I heard a lot of comments: You don't have a champion ring. You are not as good as a magician and a bird. You are very good, but you are not as good as they are. "I want to accept all this, all these make me highly motivated, which makes my daily basketball technology rise to a new level. I didn't say what they said was wrong, but I looked at them from different perspectives. At the same time, as a basketball player, I strive to be the best myself. In my career, I have made countless achievements. You need to accept what people say, evaluate you, blame you, and make you motivated, strive to bring your basketball technology to a new height. I think that's why I succeeded.
Baron Russel, when I played baseball in 1994, they shot a ball on one side of the basketball court and I said hello to them. At that time, I thought I had no motivation to pursue the footprints of basketball. But they came up and asked me: Why do you want to retire? You know I can defend against you. Don't let me see you wear basketball pants, (in fact, the tone is not so strong If ever see you in a pair of shorts) so when I returned to the league in and competed against Utah in, Russel sat next to me: do you still remember the 94 years? I think I can easily defend against you now. I am very happy to play with you. I said: it is best for you to have the opportunity to trust me. From this day, he has the opportunity, I didn't ask him if he was successful. He did. From that day on, if I had put on basketball pants, I went straight to him (in fact, I didn't hear much about this conversation, it takes about 20 minutes for anyone to listen to the speech quickly and without saying who said the speech)
I know that you all need to leave (the venue). I also know that I have been talking for a long time. I should have said thank you and turned to leave. Thank you very much. My speech is coming to an end. Basketball is everything in my life. My heart is protected. When I need confidence and peace of mind, basketball will always wait for me quietly. It brings me heavy pain, strong joy, and self satisfaction. This kind of emotion is beyond your understanding and imagination. It has been a long time, and it has made me great and brought me endless joy. It builds a platform for me to release my enthusiasm in various ways (audit issues ). I have never been expecting this method, nor can I imagine it all. I hope that I can inspire thousands of people to realize their dreams through their own efforts, perseverance and positive optimism. Although entering the Hall of Fame today is the ultimate honor of my career, I don't want it to be the end of my basketball passion. This is just a continuation of my childhood dream. Maybe one day you will see a 50-year-old Jordan chasing his original dream on the basketball court.
------------------------------------------------------
Sina sports news Beijing Time on September 15 news, according to ESPN, the god of basketball Michael Jordan has officially entered the hall of fame, many fans or through images or text watched Jordan's Hall of Fame promotion ceremony. Some may think that the speech that Jordan gave at the ceremony was a little "rude", but ESPN expert J. a. -Jordan believes that his speech is exactly the epitome of him: he is strong, strong, and competitive. The original Article is translated as follows:
If you like Jordan's various scoring skills, Jordan's explosive scores, and Jordan's key kill, you don't seem to have any reason to be disappointed with his speech-do you think he is aggressive? In fact, this is Jordan's consistent style. Without being "self-conscious (self-esteem, self-esteem, and self-confidence)", Jordan could not be the greatest star in history, nor could he climb basketball's Olympus. In fact, it is this almost abnormal mentality that forces Jordan to set up various enemies for himself-real or hypothetical-and inspire himself to move forward and defeat all enemies.
John Bach, the former assistant coach of the Chicago Bull, described Jordan's heart very accurately-"Assassin ". This word is indeed accurate, so you will see that at the superstar feast in spring, we saw a polite David Robinson, a humorous John Stockton, and a slightly sharp Jordan.
In his speech, Jordan thanked almost all the people who once inspired him: the coaches who didn't let him into the school team in high school; dean Smith, the teacher who prevented himself from taking the cover of the sports pictorial during college, the dead enemy of life, Edison Thomas, and The Godfather Pat Riley, as well as Riley's disciple, former Knicks coach Jeff Van Gandi; jazz player, Best Supporting Role: Baron Russell. Jordan also mentioned Jerry Krause, former general manager of the bull. He once again refuted the latter's saying that "the team won the championship". Jordan believes that "the player won the championship ". Jordan also has many similar anecdotes, most famous for the 1992-93 season. In a regular season, the Washington bullet rookie le Bradford-Smith scored 37 points in front of Jordan, then he said to Jordan, "Good job, Mike." Jordan laughed and turned to Smith in the second round when he met the bullet team. He scored 36 points in half. Many years later, jordan finally admitted that Smith had never spoken to him, and that was his own hypothetical.
Another thing is also very similar: In the 1993 playoffs, the Bulls played against the Cleveland server guard. At that time, the defender of the server guard was Steven Wilkins. When a reporter asked him how to defend Jordan, Wilkins said modestly that no one may defend Jordan, but he still had some ideas. As a result, Jordan scored 43 points in the first battle, and then laughed: "I think 'jordan Terminator 'is a bit depressing tonight ?" In fact, no one ever heard Wilkins claim to be the "Jordan Terminator", but Jordan loves this, and he is willing to set up hypothetical enemies for himself. It is this kind of mentality that has created Jordan and Jordan, which has been turned into God by us.
However, Jordan's restraint is also strong. Unlike the Boxing Player Alibaba, Jordan never said that he was the greatest player in history. He only said that he is better than most people, but he never put himself in a higher position than other legends. So we can't be picky about his speech. This is a real Jordan, an undecorated Jordan. I'm sure you don't want to hear Jordan say something like "thanks to the motherland for training me, thanks to the leaders for their concern for me, thanks to XXTV, thanks to XTV, and thanks to friends who have always cared about me? And we love him more and more.
