In the NBA, there are many players with Jordan in their names, but not every player with Jordan in his name will have a career like Michael Jordan, more people named Jordan, tried their best to win a place in the NBA, but around the superstars, they still seem very small, Jordan Famar is the lucky one of these small people, he is in general, but with his own efforts and rare opportunities, after tasting the bittersweet, Farmar has gained a foothold in the NBA and has become the main rotation. And won two championships with the team, adding a lot of color to his NBA career.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > from a wealthy family, 5 years old determined to play basketball</h1>
Famar was born in California, is an authentic Californian, his father once played basketball, and later became an actor, earned a lot of belongings, providing a good family environment for Famar, it can be said that Famar is also a child who grew up in the greenhouse, when he was a child, under the influence of his father, Famar also liked to play ball, and became obsessed with basketball, at the age of 5, Famar took playing basketball as the most wanted thing to do.
From the initial random shooting, to the final style of training, Famar showed his basketball talent, Famar's ball passed well, it was a good fit for point guard, and in high school, Famar was also selected for the All-American McDonald's Competition. After high school, Famar entered UCLA, and in college, the gap between Famar and other players' athletic ability was revealed, Famar's explosive power was not enough, the speed and strength were average, and it did not reach a very strong point, which was a big problem for Famar, who wanted to play in the NBA.
Athletic ability in general, in the NBA is doomed to be difficult to survive, not even selected, but despite the general athletic ability, but Farmar's passing talent, accurate shooting, or let Farmar in the college field is very open, sophomore season, Farmar averaged 13.5 2.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, but also led the team to the NCAA finals, although not won, but also a great achievement, which gave Farmar a lot of confidence, he decided to end college studies, participate in the NBA draft.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > dream come true, but along the way, full of heartache</h1>
In the 2006 draft, the Lakers selected Farmar with the 26th sign in hand, Farmar became a member of the Lakers, was selected by the Lakers, which made Farmar very happy, because when Farmar was young, Farmar loved the Lakers, he watched the Lakers every day, recorded the game, watched repeatedly, hoping to play for the Lakers one day, and now, Farmar's dream came true, and what surprised Farmar was that on the night after being selected, Farmar received a call from Kobe. Bryant asked him, are you ready to train? From that day on, Farmar and Kobe Bryant became friends, brothers, which excited Farmar, but the real NBA career has not yet begun.
Because Kobe Bryant can not play, or rookie Famar got the opportunity, in the 06-07 season opener on the play, Famar 3 shots 3, contributed 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, the performance is OK, the second game, Famar contributed 9 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists, the fourth game contributed 14 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, at the beginning of the season, Famar played well, so that the Lakers have some good feelings for Famar, thinking he can stay.
But after Bryant's outing, Famar did not have a chance, he was sent to the development league, while playing in the development league, while waiting for the Lakers recall call, once, Famar just finished playing the development league game, he received a recall call from the Lakers, he hurriedly drove back to the Lakers, ready to play, when the team pulled the score away, he got the opportunity, got 4 points and 4 rebounds on the court, the team won the opponent.
Running back and forth like this is common in Famar's rookie season, sometimes he can play, as lucky as this time, but sometimes just sit on the bench, empty joy, wait until others will go to the locker room to pack up their things and go home, Famar also needs to prepare for the next development league game, because if he does not play well in the development league, he may be abandoned by the team, when california lights up, Famar's road ahead is not clear, this kind of heartache, not others can understand, But this is a must for a low-ranking rookie, and every low-ranking rookie who makes a low-ranking rookie proud to pass through such a moment.
In the waiting, Famar waited for his own opportunity, that is, the middle of the season, Famar flew with the team to Dallas to challenge the Lone Rangers, this game Famar came on as a substitute for 27 minutes, shot 10 times, cut the team's second-high 17 points, and 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals, although it did not help the team win the game, but Famar gave Kobe Bryant the greatest help in the case of teammates playing iron, which made Famar weigh a little heavier in the hearts of the team management. At the end of the season, Famar sat back on the bench and became a water dispenser manager, but in his heart, he never gave up.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > played well, Famar finally gained a foothold</h1>
In the 07-08 season, the Lakers traded gasol in the middle of the season, the team was integrated, and Famar got a stable rotation time, which was an opportunity for Famar, and Famar was able to get this opportunity, but also by last season's efforts. After getting the opportunity, Famar handed over the answer sheet is also good, against the Jazz, Famar 13 shots 8, cut 21 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, this is the first 20+ in Famar's NBA career, in the middle of the season, Famar scored in double figures in 5 consecutive games, and late in the season, Famar scored 20+ in two consecutive games.
In one of the games, Famar scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, and at the end of the season, Famar averaged 9.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, including 46.1% from the field and 37.1% from three-point range, averaging 1.4 three-pointers per game, ranking fourth on the team, as a player who averaged 20.6 minutes per game, this performance was very good, and this performance allowed the Lakers to leave Famar as a substitute player and play with the team.
In the next two years, Famar became the main rotation of the team, and Kobe became a good brother, and those who did not like Kobe Bryant, Farmar regarded Kobe as a mentor, willing to train with Kobe, more willing to listen to Kobe's teaching, around Kobe, Famar grew a lot, Famal was also very honored to fight with Kobe, after retiring, he often posted his photo with Kobe, in the Lakers, Farmar followed the team to get two championships, experienced the taste of the championship. Although Famar's contribution in the finals was not much, his presence was still important, and The few minutes Famar played allowed the main players to rest and keep the team running.
In the summer of 2010, Farmar tested the free market and received a three-year, $12 million contract from the Nets, which Farmar accepted and became a member of the Nets, but Farmar's relationship with the Lakers was not over.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > the team and returns again in times of crisis</h1>
In the first season of the Nets, Farmar, as the team's first backup guard, got more opportunities, and Farmar also delivered a very good performance, averaging 9.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 5 assists per game, becoming a very good bench guard, but in the second season, Farmar was affected by injury, only played 39 games, was sent to the Eagles by the Nets and bought out.
At the end of the season, Famar received a contract from a giant team in the Turkish league, three years of 10.5 million, Famar decisively accepted this contract, went to the Turkish league to play, this is the first time Famar to play in overseas leagues, in his hometown Famar is still paying attention to the Lakers, staying up late every day to watch the Lakers play, after playing in Turkey for a while, Famar feels that it is difficult to leave, at the same time, the Lakers also entered a low point, Famar chose to buy out with the team, paid a buyout fee of 500,000 yuan, got a free body, Farmar returned to his favorite Lakers.
When returning to the Lakers, Kobe Bryant and Nash were there, but with these two injuries, there was a big gap in the team's guard line, for a time, Famar became a player that the team needed to rely on, against the Kings, Famar played 29 minutes, cut 30 points, 7 assists and 1 steal, helped the team to a 4-point narrow victory over the opponent, set a new career single-game scoring high, at the end of the season, Famar handed over a record of 10.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 43.8%, Averaging 1.7 shots per game, he was doing a pretty good job.
But what is surprising is that the Lakers did not renew Famar's contract, leaving this veteran who has played for the team for a long time and experienced the glory of the team, and Famar has no choice but to play in other teams and open his wandering years. Being treated like this by his beloved players, Presumably Famar will be a little sad, but this will not change Famar's love for the Lakers, he still posts photos of himself playing in the Lakers from time to time. After leaving the Lakers, Famar played for the Clippers, the Grizzlies, and the Kings, and at the end of the 16-17 season, Famar left the NBA.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > written at the end</h1>
Farmar is a small person, but also the lucky one of the small people, he climbed and played, after suffering from bittersweet and bittersweet, he played in the NBA, he also met good teams and good teammates, climbed to the top with the team, became a member of the great team, although the spotlight never hit him, but he tasted a lot of sweetness that small people could not taste, and in the NBA for ten years, he did not come. But more little people are not as lucky as Famar, people don't know him, don't want to know their hearts, and eventually sink into the sea of people, hoping that all the little people with dreams can get the kindness of this world.
