Why did Jordan's index finger break?

As we all know, one of Jordan's hobbies is cigars. We Chinese smoke a cigarette after a meal and feel as happy as gods. The old hooligan smoked a cigarette after the game and was full of energy for a long time.

I believe many people have watched Jordan’s games in late 1993. In those games, Jordan’s right index finger was usually bandaged. The bandaged finger should affect the feel, but it had to be done because his My right index finger is strangely injured. Many cigar smokers know this story. Jordan cut the tendon of his right index finger on a cigar during a mistake.

This thing has a weird vibe from beginning to end. Cigar smokers who are familiar with cigar cutters know that when cutting a cigar, it is almost impossible for the cigar cutter to accidentally cut the middle of the finger. Whether you are using a single-edged, double-edged cigar cutter or a scissor-style cigar cutter, to cut the tendon in the middle of your index finger, you need to insert your entire finger into the edge of the cigar cutter and then cut it off. I can’t imagine what kind of posture I would have to use to insert my fingers completely into the cigar cutter when cutting a cigar normally.

Jordan himself said that he accidentally severed the tendon of his index finger while cutting a cigar. John Heverton, the Bulls' team doctor at the time, performed surgery to repair Jordan's finger tendon. The matter must be made public. Jordan himself admitted that while traveling in the Bahamas, he accidentally cut the tendon of his index finger while cutting a cigar. After returning to Chicago, Jordan asked former Bulls doctor John Heverton to perform repair surgery. When Heverton went into surgery, he saw that all the ligaments in the middle of Jordan's right index finger were damaged, so the only thing he could do was retape the tendon. And told Jordan that he was going to lose some mobility in his right index finger and there was nothing I could do. After that, no one commented on the matter.

The whole thing is really weird, with all the details missing and no logical explanation. The incident happened in a hotel in the Bahamas, and neither the hotel, the team doctor, nor the companions on the day sent any information. Under normal circumstances, when Jordan cut his finger in his hotel, it would be normal for the hotel to come out to express regret and condolences. Later, some people analyzed that the most likely reason is that Jordan was in a casino in the Bahamas (the Bahamas casino is famous, and Jordan likes to play two cigars). When he drank too much, he put a double-edged cigar cutter on his right index finger and turned the cigar cutter. The blade of the knife severed all the tendons of the index finger while spinning. This may be the closest to the truth.

Jordan's cut finger was later selected as one of the 50 most bizarre injuries in sports history. There is no final answer.

Since then, the index finger of Jordan's shooting hand has been disabled and unable to bend.

That is, after that, Jordan hit less than 50% for the first time in history.

After Jordan was sent to the hospital, the doctor diagnosed that the nerve in the index finger was injured and the blood vessels in the index finger were severed. In fact, the tendon of the index finger was also severed, and the finger may need to be amputated. As we all know, the index finger is used for shooting. One of the fingers, if the index finger is cut off, it will be equivalent to ruining his career.

Of course, Jordan would never allow this to happen. It was not because he was afraid, but because his spirit of not admitting defeat supported him. With the helper’s repeated requests, the doctor barely managed to save the root. finger.

However, it did not achieve the desired effect. Not only did the index finger often hurt, but it could no longer be bent.

But the reason why Jordan is Jordan is that he will never give up easily. He endured the pain and worked hard to exercise the index finger of his right hand, constantly trying to shoot and dribble with his almost disabled hand until he fully adapted.

Finally, Jordan once again stood on the NBA court and won his second three consecutive championships with his incomplete weapons.

This is why great players like Kobe, Wade, and James all regard Jordan as a role model.

Is it impossible for you to win with even one finger? I had no choice but to retire...
