My favorite Athletes: Michael Jordan
My favorite sport: Basketball
Michael Jordan is a former American basketball player who led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships and won the Most Valuable Player Award five times. One of only seven players in history to win an NCAA championship, an NBA championship, and an Olympic gold medal. He is a living legend in basketball sport.
Beside that, he's more than an athletes, a successful businessman.
A well-timed investment star athlete Michael Jordan come into the billionaire ranks in 2015, and is keeping him there this year.
MJ is widely acknowledged as the greatest basketball player of all-time, but his salary rarely matched his stature.
He was the NBA's highest-paid player only twice during his 15-year career. His total career playing salary was $90 million, but Jordan has earned another billion from corporate partners since he left North Carolina in 1984. His biggest backer has always been Nike, which generates billion in revenue annually from the Jordan Brand. Nike commands 90% of the U.S. basketball shoe market, with the Jordan Brand representing more than half of that. MJ maintains his longtime endorsement relationships with Gatorade, Hanes and Upper Deck. He also owns seven restaurants and a car dealership.
His famous quote that can we adapt into daily life is:
“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 again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Hope this story can inspire the others too.
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
Best regard,
