The reason why Jordan can be named the "god of basketball", in addition to his own skills are really amazing, but also has a certain relationship with his super competitive spirit, it is his competitive spirit, can make Jordan inspire himself to continue to move forward, in the legendary player career, has achieved various glorious honors (6 championships, 5 regular season MVP, 6 finals FMVP, 1 best defensive player, 10 best teams, 9 best defensive ones).
Recently, according to ESPN reporter Chuck Klosterman, Jordan once played cards with his teammate Peterson's mother, taking advantage of the opportunity to "cheat" when she went to the toilet. It seems that not only on the court, but also on the court Jordan's damn competitive spirit, but also really wants to make himself a "perfect mr." And this is not the first time Jordan "cheated", in the previous Interview Pippen has revealed that the Bulls will hold some quiz activities at home from time to time, once to let the speculators guess which hat the ball will be placed in, and as a result, Jordan in order to win this bet, even quietly let the staff tell himself which hat the ball is in, this small matter is not difficult to see Jordan for the victory, almost to a paranoid realm.
And on the court, Jordan's competitive spirit is even more numerous, in the first few years of his debut, Jordan has been firmly suppressed by the Pistons' "bad boy army", after being eliminated by opponents in the first three consecutive years, he finally ushered in revenge in 91 years, the first three setbacks also made Jordan more and more courageous this season, that series, Jordan averaged 29.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 7 assists per game, the "double core" composed of him and Pippen, and finally let the Bulls cross the pistons mountain and sweep the opponent 4-0, Jordan also won the first championship trophy of his career that year.
In addition to the battle against the Bad Boy Army, Jordan's classic "flu battle" in the fifth game of the 97 finals also reflected his competitive spirit to the fullest, when the Bulls drew 2-2 with the Jazz, but on the eve of the 5th Battle of Tianwangshan, Jordan suffered from food poisoning, suffered from influenza, and once had a high fever to 40 degrees, which was uncomfortable even if ordinary people were lying down to rest, let alone experiencing a high-intensity basketball game, but Jordan was not afraid, still insisted on fighting with a high fever. In that game, Jordan shot 13 of 27, cut 38 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and did not affect his competitive state because of his high fever.
According to his son Jeffrey Jordan, he often played one-on-one bullfights with Jordan when he was a child, and Jordan accidentally knocked Jeffrey Jordan down in the process of defending him, which eventually led to the latter going to the hospital for up to 30 stitches, and the second son Marcus Jordan also revealed that when the brothers and their father fought bulls, there was no trace of water, which also made Marcus Jordan have to "file a complaint" for his mother.
And Jordan's paranoid competitiveness has indeed affected many stars after that, and the Lakers' late famous Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly the one who has been most affected, and it is precisely because of Jordan's competitive spirit that these stars can be motivated to keep moving forward and breaking through themselves.
