'"The Greatest Athlete in the World" (No. 1 by Sports Media ESPN in 20)

The scene of dunking on the 4.5-meter free throw line is one of the best scenes in sports history. Jordan's image became the logo of Air Jordan.


Today is the story of Michael Jeffery Jordan, the king of basketball, the third main character of the exhibition Bag&Shoes loved by Celeb.

Chapter 1

No.23 is Jordan's Number

When it comes to "23", it's "Jordan Number". So why was his back number 23?

Jordan chose number 23 because his older brother, who was good at basketball, had a back number of 45.

Jordan, who was called the "King of Basketball," was not excellent from the beginning. I often lost to my brother. I chose a number slightly larger than half of my brother's number (22.5) because I wanted to win. Since then, Jordan's number has become a 23 that shows his indomitable will.

The Player who made Nike No.1


The reason why Nike, which was third in the industry in the 1980s, was able to overtake Converse and become the No. 1 brand is because of Michael Jordan.

Nike earned $2.8 billion and more than 3.6 trillion won in the "Air Jordan" series alone. Jordan also receives more than 100 billion won a year for lending his name. "Jordan" also enjoyed wearing Air Jordan. Rather, fans even remembered the day when they played without wearing "Air Jordan" in the regular season.

Jordan is the creator of Nike and the brand itself.

Chapter 3

Crazy competitiveness is the secret to success


 

Jordan was famous for his crazy competitive spirit. He didn't even like to lose a practice game.

There's a famous story about the desire to win. It was also an homage to Slam Dunk. Mutombo, a rookie who was energetic at the time, provoked Jordan who threw a free throw during the game.

"No matter how much you're Jordan, you can't throw it with your eyes closed."

When Jordan heard this, he smiled casually and replied, "Hey Mutombo, this is for you baby!" And I threw a free throw with my eyes closed, and I succeeded cleanly. Jordan added to the surprised Mutombo, saying.

"Welcome to NBA"

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career.

I've lost almost 300 games.
26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.
I've failed over and over and over agian in my life.
And that is why I succeed.
(Michael Jeffery Jordan, 1963~) 

​Many people think Jordan is a simple basketball genius, but Jordan has failed many times. Rather, he repeatedly engraved his failures on himself. When others were frustrated, I tried to get one step ahead. What kind of fighting spirit do you have in your life?

Feel the greatness of the basketball emperor.
