The Jordan Rules by Sam Smith - Discussion The Jordan Rules by Sam Smith - Discussion Leadership David Robinson, "Michael is more of a non- basketball-fan type of player. He always looks great out there hanging, jumping, dribbling around. But if What leadership qualities did you notice in you know a lot about the game, you appreciate what Michael Jordan? Phil Jackson? Other I do more. It's more basic." teammates? Do you agree? “The Jordan Rules” has two meanings: one for how As a coach which would you prefer? teams had to adapt their play in order to compete As a team owner? against Jordan and the other about how Jordan got As a fan? special treatment. Was it wrong to give him that special treatment Armstrong saw Jordan as a genius of the game. "He and let him get away with transgressions others can do anything anyone does and do it better than wouldn’t or did he earn and deserve special them. In a way, I think he's too good." In an effort to privileges? try to understand how to play with Jordan, Armstrong borrowed and read a variety of books about geniuses and how they relate to the world. Phil Jackson "...referred once to the Graham Greene quote from The Third Man, about the Borgias' rule in Italy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and how If you were a good player, not a star, would you it had resulted in war, murder, and terrorism, yet want to play with Michael Jordan? from that era came Michelangelo, da Vinci, and the How would Michael Jordan fare in today’s Renaissance. In Switzerland, where they lived connected world? brotherly love, peace, and democracy for eight centuries, all they could claim was the cuckoo clock." Teamwork Adversity often leads to growth. As leaders, Jordan said of his team's performance, "It's been what is a comfortable amount of adversity to proven the best teams don't always have to get place on our teams? When have you along together, and if everyone likes one another, it experienced or seen this phenomenon? How do doesn't mean you're going to win. The difference is you know if the team can handle the adversity? in the play." Passion Recently, Phil Jackson shared this on Twitter, "It's not about bonding and being friends, it's about John Paxson said midway through the season (when joining in the effort of playing HARD on every effort." the Bulls were 29-12), "But nobody wants to be here, except maybe me, and they don't want me. Do we place too much emphasis on team Everyone wants to play somewhere else; nobody's chemistry? happy or having any fun. Guys want more minutes or Should we talk about commitment to goals and more shots or more money. They want guys traded willingness to reach them despite and management guys fired. And what if we weren't personalities/personal interests? winning? It's just not supposed to be like this. Is it?" The Bulls, "went into the playoffs in the first year Are you surprised such a seemingly after Jordan with more than fifty wins." Similar dysfunctional team won an NBA Championship? teams that couldn't do that after losing their stars: Should winning be fun? Lakers minus Magic, Celtics and Bird, Chamberlain, Should winning be a priority above everything Bill Russell, and Jerry West. else? Did Jordan make his teammates better or did they make him change? .

  • Basketball and Philosophy, Edited by Jerry L
    BASKE TBALL AND PHILOSOPHY The Philosophy of Popular Culture The books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will il- luminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popu- lar culture. The goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the inter- section of popular culture and philosophy, as well as to explore through philosophical analysis beloved modes of entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, and music. Philosophical concepts will be made accessible to the general reader through examples in popular culture. This series seeks to publish both established and emerging scholars who will engage a major area of popular culture for philosophical interpretation and exam- ine the philosophical underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophical and cultural theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections between traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the ever-expanding world of popular culture.

  • Clean Water Through Conservation in the Jordan Lake Watershed
    CLEAN WATER THROUGH CONSERVATION IN THE JORDAN LAKE WATERSHED By James Ray Ryan Parks Emily Tucker Advisor: Dr. Dean L. Urban, Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment Masters project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Environmental Management degree in the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University April 25, 2019 Executive Summary Water management and conservation are both on a trajectory toward a holistic vision of sustainable natural resource management. With goals converging, opportunities for collaboration between the two camps are growing. This is particularly true within the Jordan Lake Watershed in the North Carolina Piedmont, where existing land uses and new urban development are impairing water quality and fragmenting the region’s ecological resources. Traditional regulatory approaches have been largely unsuccessful in this watershed, so watershed managers are turning to an innovative, holistic, and collaborative approach – Jordan Lake One Water (JLOW). JLOW, and particularly members like the Triangle Land Conservancy, see conservation as a valuable part of a holistic watershed management approach. In addition to improving drinking water quality, conservation can provide other benefits that communities care about, both upstream and downstream. By highlighting these benefits, the many stakeholders within the watershed can formulate a more holistic watershed management strategy and address some of the political and financial barriers impeding progress towards the development

Cuts, directions etc. Do you see it? All 5 players both teams Can you feel it? Intricacies & adjustments Defending the “Pick & Roll” 2 biggest concerns defensively are; Transition Offense (with P&R) and Pick and Roll in half court offense. 4 Ways Pick & Roll puts you at a disadvantage: 1) Forces us to make a decision: switch, go under, go over, etc. 2) Keeps 2 defenders on the ball for way too long. 3) Puts us into a physical defensive position 4) It puts you into scramble mode, instead of rotation mode. *Scramble is unpredictable, no trust, unorganized *Must stay in rotation mode!! - Practice Rotations!! Practice, practice,practice - Trust it (because you practice it) - Believe it - We can control our movement 3 Parts to defending the Pick & Roll 1) Positioning: Be where you need to be, not where you feel like being 2) Awareness: Help spots (shrink spots), Must Spots!! Must be there to defend. Sniff plays out! What is likely to happen next. 3) Alertness: Ready to move & react at the instant we need you.

And 3 consecutive postseasons the 'Bad Boys' (as the Pistons were known) recognized they couldn't stop 'Air Jordan' from taking flight. But they could decide when he landed. And how! After falling short (literally and figuratively) to those Pistons again and again and again, Jordan decided to ground himself. And that's when everything changed. For Jordan, the Bulls, and the NBA. 1 The Pistons referred to their strategy as "The Jordan Rules" apparently believing that "Goonery" was too indelicate. "The Jordan Rules by the Pistons were all about not letting him get to the basket," says former Bulls center Will Perdue who played in the last two of those futile Pistons series.

  • Michael Jordan
    Michael Jordan Michael Jordan emerged in the 1980s as the most famous athlete on the planet. His ability to leap high and perform acrobatic maneuvers while in the air inspired an entire line of athletic shoes known as "Air Jordan." His overall skill and competitive drive carried him to a record 10 National Basketball Association (NBA) scoring titles and six league championships. His warmth, humor, and accessibility made him a marketing gold mine. Jordan's accomplishments are so impressive that no less a basketball artist than Larry Bird has said of him, "I think he's God disguised as a basketball player." Michael Jeffrey Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York, the fourth of five children of James and Delores Jordan. The family moved to Wallace, North Carolina, when Michael was an infant and settled in Wilmington when he was seven. There James worked his way up from mechanic to supervisor at a General Electric plant and Delores made a similar advancement working at a bank. Jordan's first love as a child was baseball, which was also his father's favorite sport. He has said that his favorite childhood memory is winning the league Most Valuable Player (MVP) trophy for his Babe Ruth League team with his lively fastball. He also dabbled in track as well as in football, until he was scared away by an injury. But eventually, he and his brother, Larry, who was a year older, began to concentrate on basketball. James Jordan accommodated them by building them a full-sized basketball court on their property.
