In the documentary
El Último Baile
, which narrates the career of
Michael Jordan
, the former
Chicago Bulls player
and six-time
NBA
champion
, he is shown as a vindictive man capable of motivating himself in the face of any slight friction he had with a supposed enemy, nailing in his brain every criticism and every bad word about his name to return it multiplied by a thousand on the basketball court.
On the show, he acknowledges that as a child he needed to be better than his brother Larry to get his father's approval and admits that various circumstances in his career offended and encouraged him to achieve his successes: “I was offended that I was compared to
Clyde Drexler
in the 1992 Finals and that they gave the MVP to
Charles Barkley
in 1993, "he admits.
And he even went further in his reasons for seeking revenge, like the time
George Karl
, coach of the
Sonics
in the
'96 Finals
against the Bulls, did not greet him when they passed each other in a restaurant:
“I took it at all. personal.
It was all I needed to try to destroy him
.
That series of personal rematches that Jordan sought during his career have become a joke on social networks in recent months, but they have also served some players to have an example of how to face the season and his career in the NBA.
One of them is
Stephen Curry
: '
You know about the Jordan joke, right?
Well, I've also taken all this personally,
"he replied to reporters after achieving the highest score of the course and his life in the league, 62 points against the Portland Trail Blazers.
This is the fourth highest number of the century, down
from Kobe Bryant's 81 with the Lakers in 2006
,
Devin Booker's 70
with the Suns in 2017 and
Bryant's own 65 in 2007
.
62 points that come after spending the previous season almost blank due to a
broken left hand
, a loss that made the Golden State Warriors the worst team in the competition.
"I love competitiveness, fire"
This season, with Curry and despite
Klay Thompson's
injury
, the San Francisco franchise began the season with aspirations to be one of the best in the Western Conference.
Some predictions that after an
irregular start
seemed far from being fulfilled.
The Warriors youth had not performed up to expectations and criticism had also hit the two-time MVP, who did not seem the same as on previous occasions.
So he appeared on the court against the Blazers, wanting to respond to everything and everyone.
And
so he made history
.
«
I love everything that this sport offers, the competitiveness ... The fire
.
I've never run away from it and I have a lot of confidence in myself, both as a player and as a person, "explained Curry at the end, while his teammate Draymond Green attacked his critics:" When you're up, people always want to knock you down.
They say he has not won a Finals MVP, and?
He has always led this team
.
And it seems that it will continue to do so for some time more.
