<p>Icons do not get any bigger or more mythical than Michael Jordan. He is more than a basketball player, more than a sneaker promoter, more than a world renowned icon. Read on as we look at the extraordinary life of Michael Jordan.</p>

<h3><strong>Michael Jeffrey Jordan</strong></h3>
<p>Michael Jeffrey Jordan was born on February 17, 1963. He was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in North Carolina. MJ attended Laney High School in Wilmington, North Carolina. The story has been told a billion times, but MJ was cut from his varsity basketball team. That story has been used as a form of inspiration ever since MJ debuted in the NBA. Mike experienced a growth spurt the summer before his junior year of high school. Jordan has expressed in the past that he felt like he willed himself to grow. His height and talent grew, and he would never have to worry again about being cut from a team.</p>

<h3><strong>UNC</strong></h3>
<p>MJ would become a dominate high school basketball player and would attend the University of North Carolina. During his freshmen year for the North Carolina Tar Heels, MJ was in the shadow of his older and more accomplished teammates. That would all change when North Carolina faced off against the Georgetown Hoyas in the NCAA Championship game in 1982. Jordan hit the game winning basket, a 16 foot jumper, with 18 seconds left in the game. The Tar Heels 63-62 victory, highlighted by his game winning shot, elevated the young Jordan to stardom. He was far, far from finishing his spectacular rise, however.</p>

<h3><strong>The Chicago Bulls</strong></h3>
<p>Michael Jordan left North Carolina after his junior year. He was the third overall pick in the 1984 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls. MJ going third in the draft is now considered one of the biggest blunders in the history of the NBA. When MJ was entering the league, there were legitimate questions about his game. He was not a great long range shooter, and his man to man defense was not strong. Mike quickly turned those weaknesses into strengths.</p>
<p>Mike&rsquo;s impact in his rookie season was immeasurable. His charisma, his showmanship and his skill level made him the number one attraction in the NBA. Home attendance for the Chicago Bulls went up dramatically. When Mike went on the road, fans of the opposing teams came out in droves to watch him play.</p>
<p>The artistry of MJ was second to none. His aerial exploits, and passion for the game, made him magnetic to watch. His dangling tongue, as he competed on the court, became his trademark. He picked up the habit watching his father work around the house as a kid.</p>
<p>MJ wore baggier shorts on the court than were the norm during the 1980s. Baggy shorts would quickly become a trend for kids around the country.</p>
<p>Michael Jordan was a phenomenon on and off the court.</p>

<h3><strong>The Birth of the Air Jordan</strong></h3>
<p>Michael Jordan signed an endorsement contract with Nike for $2.5 million his rookie year. That looks like clearance aisle pricing today, but at the time many felt MJ, an unproven newcomer, did not deserve a contract that large.</p>
<p>The Air Jordan 1 was designed by Peter Moore and was released in 1985. The release was tied to Jordan&rsquo;s rookie season in the NBA. The design of the 1 was simple and consistent with the other basketball shoes of the era. The 1 lacked the sophisticated technology that the Jordan Brand would be known for with later installments. Nike was dedicated to giving MJ his own shoe and brand to grow with. That commitment is clear when you view the shoe&rsquo;s distinctive logo. Moore designed a wings symbol, a precursor to the Jumpman logo, which was placed on the upper ankle of the shoe.</p>
<p>The marketing of Michael Jordan&rsquo;s shoes was massively successful and helped to expand his notoriety. The collaboration between Nike, MJ and director, Spike Lee, would prove to be incredibly fruitful for everyone involved. The first commercial featuring Lee&rsquo;s character, Mars Blackmon, debuted in 1988. The ad was for the Air Jordan III. The commercials featuring Mars adopted much of the style and look of Spike Lee&rsquo;s work as a director. The tone, aesthetic and feel of the ads was movie quality. The elevated level of production added to the value of the Air Jordan line.</p>

<h3><strong>Winning Time</strong></h3>
<p>There are a lot of things that make the NBA career of Air Jordan a singular one. His personal highlight reel is unparalleled and the impact he has had on our culture with his sneaker line is massive. But what truly separates MJ from the horde of great basketball players is his number of championships. His six rings are obviously a monumental accomplishment.</p>
<p>MJ had to prove he could win and win at an elite level. Critics felt he was too ball dominate, too interested in scoring, to play winning basketball. MJ was determined to prove his critics wrong. When Air Jordan faced Magic Johnson in his first NBA Finals appearance not many gave him a chance to beat the Los Angeles Lakers&rsquo; legend. Magic had already won five championships when he matched up against the Bulls in 1991. Mike and the Bulls were able to rise to the occasion and defeat the Lakers 4 games to 1. Not many would ever doubt MJ again after that career defining series.</p>

<p>The 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls squad is a historic one. The season after the Bulls shattered the record for wins by going 72-10, they followed that up with 69 wins during the 96-97 campaign. No squad in history before Chicago had won 70 games, and the Bulls almost pulled the feat off in back-to-back seasons. That elevated level of consistency proves that the Bulls as an organization had mastered a formula that was successful. The Chicago Bulls during their 6 rings in 8 year run were as dominant as any NBA squad ever. Much of that success can be credited to Michael Jordan and the personal sacrifices he was willing to make to allow the Chicago Bulls to become a dynasty for the ages.</p>

<h3><strong>GOAT</strong></h3>
<p>Michael Jordan is widely considered to be the GOAT. Many believe he is the greatest basketball player of all time, and based on all his accomplishments, it is a stance that is hard to argue with. Especially when you look at his career achievements and stats.</p>
<ul>
<li>Career PPG: 30.1</li>
<li>9 All Defensive Teams</li>
<li>11 All NBA Teams</li>
<li>1 Defensive Player of the Year Award</li>
<li>6 NBA Finals MVP Awards</li>
<li>6 NBA Championship Trophies</li>
<li>5 NBA MVP Awards</li>
</ul>
<p>MJ&rsquo;s impact on the game was so much bigger than stats and accolades. He changed the game and altered the worldwide perception of greatness. The life of MJ is a singular one and we will never see another Michael Jordan.</p>

The Life of Michael Jordan

Chicken Adobo Recipe

<p>Having a dog is a lot of work. Your pooch is silly, sweet, and lovable, sure. But in between keeping them active, feeding them right, and making sure they&rsquo;re clean, having a dog can be kind of tiring. Luckily for dog owners everywhere, mobile dog grooming exists.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mobile dog grooming is a lifesaver when it comes to time, flexibility, and stress. It&rsquo;s ultra-convenient, and there are practically no downsides. It&rsquo;s well worth the money, and here&rsquo;s why:&nbsp;</p>
<h2>1. It&rsquo;s Convenient</h2>
<p>Imagine not even leaving the house to get your furry friend groomed. With mobile dog grooming, that&rsquo;s exactly how it goes down. You simply call and schedule the time for them to arrive, and that&rsquo;s it. Plus, you won&rsquo;t have to worry about the extra stress of getting your doggy in the car.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>2. There&rsquo;s Less Stress</h2>
<p>As&nbsp;we said, with mobile grooming, you don&rsquo;t have to worry about a car ride, which is especially important for those dogs with car anxiety. Not only that, but as an owner, you can rest assured that your pooch is safe and sound and close to home. They will be right outside your house.</p>
<p>Also, mobile dog grooming businesses usually work on a one-dog-at-a-time schedule. Whether your dog is well-socialized or not, getting groomed in a facility with other dogs is at best a distraction for them and at worst a cause for stress. With mobile grooming, it&rsquo;s just them and the groomer.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>3. Get Personalized Attention For Your Pooch</h2>
<p>Because of the one-on-one scenario, your dog will&nbsp;<em>also</em>&nbsp;get more personalized attention. Your groomer will be able to dedicate all of their time and attention to your dog&rsquo;s individual needs. They&rsquo;ll be able to provide you with the best possible service. Get ready to say bye to those random clumps of matted hair.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>4. Flexible Scheduling</h2>
<p>Mobile grooming is highly flexible. They work on your schedule&mdash;wherever you are. If you work from home, it can be as easy as taking your dog out to the front curb in between meetings. Say goodbye to leaving work early to pick up your dog from the groomer&rsquo;s and planning your day around a grooming appointment.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>5. Quality Services</h2>
<p>Just because a groomer will pull up in a van doesn&rsquo;t negate the quality of their work. Mobile groomers are just as capable and experienced as those working at a brick and mortar. Rest assured, you&rsquo;re getting the same quality grooming from mobile services.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>6. It&rsquo;s Quicker</h2>
<p>Once you take out the travel time, you&rsquo;ll see the main reason people choose mobile dog grooming: it&rsquo;s so much quicker. You won&rsquo;t have to worry about factoring in the drop-off or pick-up times. And, because there are no other dogs, once your dog hops into the mobile grooming automobile, the groomer gets right to work.</p>

<p>Have you noticed how your eating habits change the day after a bad night&rsquo;s sleep? Chances are, you feel hungry often and reach for sweet, starchy, comfort food more than usual. This is not just an emotional response but is actually backed by science. Lack of sleep causes leptin (which tells your body when you&rsquo;re full) to drop and ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates appetite) to rise.<br><br>The link between diet and sleep is more complex than just how much coffee you drink or how closely to bedtime you have that cup of tea. There&rsquo;s also the question of your circadian rhythm, which is what keeps the body&rsquo;s multiple functions going the way they should be, such as when you should sleep and wake, eat to feed hunger, and metabolise what you eat.<br><br>A meal that&rsquo;s high in carbohydrates can be detrimental to your sleep, as it is known to increase the number of times you wake up in the middle of the night. If your diet is off kilter, your body clock will be too, which then throws the balance off everything it regulates. Sleep becomes erratic, moods swing between high and low, and nutrition goes down the drain as you&rsquo;re more likely to make bad food choices. What a mess you&rsquo;ll be in!<br><br>You&rsquo;re likely to be cranky and simply give in to those cravings, but those foods will lead to more sleepless nights and before you know it, you&rsquo;re stuck in a dysfunctional cycle with no end. Hence, it&rsquo;s important to be mindful of what you eat. To improve the quality of your sleep, emphasise these foods in your diet:<br><br></p>
<h2>Fill Up On Fibre</h2>
<p>A&nbsp;<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23339991/">study</a>&nbsp;on 12,000 participants found a direct correlation between fibre intake and sleep duration: those who consumed the highest amount of fibre had the best sleep habits (6 to 8 hours of sleep) whereas those who consumed the least amount of fibre also slept the shortest (less than 5 hours). Check how much fibre you&rsquo;re eating each day &ndash; the recommended daily amount if 25gm for women and 38gm for men.<br><br></p>
<h2>Know Your Sweets</h2>
<p>A high-sugar diet causes blood sugar levels to rise and fall, leading to a tendency to eat later in the day. When you consume sugar late at night, it energises the body and preps it for activity, making it hard for you to fall asleep. A night of poor sleep triggers sugar cravings the next day, and the vicious cycle keeps spinning. Not all sugars are the same though; there are natural sugars and there are refined or processed ones. The former, such as those found in fruits and root vegetables, can actually help promote sleep if eaten in small amounts before bed. That&rsquo;s because the brain is fuelled primarily by glucose and when it runs out, it will wake you up.<br><br></p>
<h2>Pack On The Proteins</h2>
<p>Chicken, fish, lean meats, nuts, seeds &hellip; these protein sources are not only essential to your overall health but beneficial to sleep as well. Besides helping you stay fuller and better satiated, eating an adequate amount of protein helps the body generate trytophan. This amino acid triggers the production of melatonin, a hormone that helps induce sleep.<br><br></p>
<h2>Go Mediterranean</h2>
<p>The Mediterranean Diet &ndash; high in vegetables, fruits, olive oil, olives, beans, lentils, seafood, and Greek yogurt &ndash; is popular for many reasons, most notably for its heart-protecting and anti-ageing properties. It&rsquo;s also been found to reduce insomnia and encourage better sleep. This is believed to be due to its high levels of fibre, low amounts of saturated fat, and good sources of magnesium (nuts) and melatonin (nuts, olive oil).<br><br>Bottom line, sleep is as much an integral part of your well-being as water, nutrients, vitamins and exercise. When you take good care of your overall health, you will optimise your sleep too.<br><br></p>
