迈克尔·乔丹

从北京到不加勒斯特，几乎所有的人都喜欢乔丹。所以，当他上周突然宣布退役时，全世界都报道了这条消息。迈克尔·乔丹被公认为最出色的篮球运动员。他似乎能带球在空中飞行，因而以“飞人乔丹”著称于世。由于帮商家推销产品，乔丹获得了全世界的关注，而他也从中得到了数千万美元的报酬。迈克尔·乔丹现年30岁。他曾就读于北卡罗莱纳大学。九年前进入芝加哥公牛队。在过去三年中率领公牛队夺取了全美篮球联赛三连冠。他是NBA近七年来得分最高的球员。他还赢得过奥林匹克金牌。

今年七月，乔丹的父亲在北卡罗莱纳遇害。父亲詹姆斯·乔丹和儿子迈克尔是亲密的朋友。迈克尔·乔丹说父亲观看他的最后一场比赛对他来说意义重大，但是他说父亲的死并不是他退役的原因。他说这几年一直在考虑退役。乔丹是过去的三年来退役的第三位主要球．员。洛杉矶湖人队魔术师约翰逊由于染上艾滋病而退役。去年效力于波士顿凯尔特人队的拉里·伯德由于背伤而退役。

乔丹精湛的球技增加了篮球的魅力。公牛队在哪儿打球，哪儿的体育中心的门票便会被抢购一空。

宣布退役时，乔丹说在篮球上他已经没有什么新的可施展了。他已经不想再打球了。从现在开始，他要花时间同家人一起尽可能地重新过正常人的生活。但是他说或许有一天他会重返篮球场。乔丹说他从不相信“决不”。
