It is difficult to be Michael.
It is difficult to be Michael.
The greatest basketball player of all times has appeared unimportant
The manager.
My acquaintance, newspaper observer "Washington a post" Michael Lihi
Asserts, that it would be much easier to it to achieve vechi with
The queen of the Great Britain or with the leader of the Colombian
Narcocartel. "I have made an application on interview to Jordan half a year
Back, - speaks Are dashing. - I waited. Not having waited, has left in Chicago,
There I had tens vech. Has then returned to capital and took
Some more tens interview. At last I was called by the agent from
Wizards also has told: "It will accept you". The agent has still told, that I not
Counted more than for 20 minutes. Jordan has spoken ones and a half
Hour. At first he spoke about how it misses on Chicago Bulls.
Then how he would like to buy п hicago Bulls. And at last, as
It is heavy to it to live without game ".
The daddy in cowards of firm Hanes.
In January, 1999 Jordan by the personal plane has arrived in
The Washington airport of a name of Ronald Reagan. Therefrom in structure
Cavalcades from four black limousines it has proceeded in
Five-star hotel "Four seasons" in Georgetown, and then
Has gone to the purpose of the visit - to high school in Negro
Southeast area of the American capital. Neighbouring inhabitants not
Have been warned about arrival of the honoured guest. As have written then
Newspapers, all has been made as if its trip uaivalo
CIA. "It is more important, than the Pope", - whispered disobedient lips
The elderly Negro from area of slums with the beautiful name "Anakozijsky
Gardens ".
Americans say, that the unique sportsman who can
To be compared to Jordan, - Mohammed Ali always very much liked crowd.
It entered into it as in water, and at all did not notice when
Tens people clapped it on a back. Jordan - absolutely another
Business. At all charm it - as if in a bowl, any
Contact to fans. Forty minutes of performance before
Schoolboys, 20 minutes on remarks and specifications, are equal 10 minutes -
On questions and answers. Jordan, speaks a sports observer
Are dashing, is an idea, the concept, an image. Inaccessible, as well as
Jordan's physical cover.
Whether so it is not clear and inaccessible? Two maidens sit on a shop
Also chirp about that and about this. By there pass numerous men in
Trousers under which maidens should guess a kind of cowards. "Family
Pants ", - are ascertained by one maiden."Family", - confirms
Another. "Bikini", - the maiden thoughtfully notices. "Precisely".
Suddenly there is one more type in absolutely already intricate trousers.
The chamber goes upwards and shows to us the smiling Jordan. "Cowards
Hanes ", - the most ingenious basketball player of the world informs us. In what
Clip highlight? It is not present, a simple-minded American joke.
Besides cowards Jordan, left two and a half a year back from
NBA, advertises batteries Rayovac, a vitamin drink for
Sportsmen Gatorade, some kinds ovsjanyh flakes for a breakfast,
Sausages Ballpark, some kinds of colognes, dark glasses,
Automobile dealers from firm Chicago Chevrolet, the
Own restaurant Michael Jordan, and also the telephone company
MCI. Advertising of last it of the author of these ok - and, in my opinion, not
Only it is "has simply got" not worse, than other Russian
Advertisers the clips about linings. "Five cents for
Minute ", - some times is repeated by Michael computer to a woodpecker and
To rabbit which mistrustfully twist a head, and then begin
To laugh loudly, as abnormal. Having seen this clip on three ten
Time per day, would be desirable to be connected never to company MCI, those
More that there are those who offers in a minute of telephone conversation
Across all America only four cents.
Any of known sportsmen of the world does not avoid advertising. From
They receive it of money more than for the outstanding more often
Achievements on a ring or on court. But what for it to it, "to the Daddy
Roman "a basketball platform, ingenious" to number 23 "commands
From Chicago which six times won superiority NBA? What for
To the person who has earned 300 million dollars to talk
With woodpeckers and rabbits and to sport in cowards before maidens?
"It is necessary to understand Michael's soul, - the director for marketing calls
Companies Nike Pamela Neferkara. - It - heart and soul trading
Stamps by name of "Jordan". And this stamp should not be gone ".
Is, however, and other opinions. Someone considers, that the personal
The trade mark of the world famous athlete starts to fade after
How he has left the big sports. "Michael, of course, very successfully
Advanced trade krossovkami Nike when ran on a platform, -
The editor-in-chief of trading magazine Brandweek Terri speaks
Lefton. - and now its trade mark, maybe, will live pair
Years, it is no more. So occurs to all sportsmen, about them through
Some years forget ".
Lonely "Magician".
Jordan's friends say, that with it it is possible to be a number always, for
Exception of those minutes when he watches on TV matches
Wizards, the command, the president and which co-owner it
Is. "As you could make such throw?" - it shouts to the player on
The screen., as if hearing the boss, involves a head in shoulders.
Jordan, which on a head above any American, the
Kind inspired the nations thought, that it can all. So it also was - to
Time till time. While he has not bought capital Wizards, which mine
The familiar commentator Are dashing names "command-plague". Made
Two years ago purchase was within several months the main thing
Event of a sports-commercial life of America. And already then
Professionals said, that from this command even Jordan not
Will make candies. Will not make, even if itself will start to play it
Structure.
Jordan within several months found out relations with
The trainer of "Magicians". Then that has sent in the resignation, another has come,
But the command continued to remain hopeless. Its sad kind
Has left traces and on before faultless kind of the basketball
The god.
The press has quickened since then only twice. For the first time, when
There were "quite checked up" hearings, that Jordan comes back in
The big sports. And the second - when recently on training it has broken
To itself two edges...
From thirty days of each month twenty Jordan spends in
The house to Highland park. It sits in a cellar, as the general in
The bunker, also looks next unsuccessful game Wizards. After game
Removes a telephone tube and begins long conversations with the trainer
And players.
One of Jordan's closest friends, the assistant to trainer Chicago
Bulls Teks Vinter considers, that that too sprays the talent.
"I do not doubt its abilities, - speaks Vinter, - but to it,
Perhaps, it is necessary for more time to spend with the pupils ".
Jordan never belonged to number of those trainers, which,
As speak in America,-twenty work "on system 24/7"
Four hours, seven days in a week. Jordan - the sybarite. One week ago
It flied to Florida where has got a share holding of the hockey command
Washington п apitals, three days ago played a golf in Southern
To Carolina, yesterday there was at concert Uitni Houston on
The Bahamas, and then has a little played in a casino. Sometimes it there
Wins, sometimes loses. In one evening, speak, has won
Half-million.
And still, tell, he dreams to buy Chicago Bulls. After all not
Its present owner Dzherri Rejnsdorf is eternal. After all happens,
That owners sell the commands. Jordan is younger Rejnsdorfa and
It is ready to wait for 5, 8, 10 years - how much it is necessary.
Jordan waits for good news in the bunker. On the pig-iron
Collars of its huge estate - figure 23. Nearby - small
The tablet: "not to park". To the author of these ok, which once
In the winter in the middle of the big snowfall has approached on the house 23 and on
Some seconds have stopped at its fencing, the boy has suddenly run up
Years of seven, the boy has knocked in a car window and when I have opened it,
Has told: "IT here, I know. But you never can see it".
Washington.
